What if....... We still add to the QB room???? Jimmy G gets released as a courtesy? Baker for a 2028 7th round pick at 50% of his salary? Remember.... we still have 30M in cap space. Does all 30M minus rookie contracts roll over to next year?

Desmond Ritter is either going to be a Marcus Mariota or Dak Prescott 2.0. I'm thinking more like Dak, but the Falcons are going to get him killed with their drafting.

I'm going to quote myself from 7 hours ago...... These next 5 picks after Ritter will tell the story. Still Team Minshew. If not I'd go after both Baker and Corral. JMO

Everyone who talks about trading Robbie, DJM, CMC, or anyone else that has just restructured their contracts had NO CLUE how the salary cap works. When we decided to re work Robbie's contract we basically guaranteed his spot for this year and possible next. Trading him or cutting him in 2023 would cost 19.8 million before June 1st. With a negative cap savings of 9 million. Trading DJM would result in a negative cap hit of nearly 14 million and a dead cap charge of 19 million. CMC trade would be 26million in dead cap and a 2022 negative charge of 17 million. I'm a teacher, not an accountant, but I don't think that's good business. Baker, Jimmy, or a trade for Minshew are the only real options unless one of these QB's falls into the third round or if we feel that we can surrender picks from next year. I say, trade #137 for Minshew, give him a 1 year try out. If that doesn't work, a 6th and Cleveland paying 50% of Baker's salary will suffice. Jimmy G is more than likely going to get cut if a trade doesn't materialize, however with his health eating into his time before training camps, no one is giving up assets for him. SF can save 26 million by cutting him and roll that savings over to next season.

Get the LT! See if Howell is Baker sans the baggage, would not be afraid to draft an additional QB in 2023 Best Edge rusher available, situational, but worth a flyer considering our history of 3rd round picks Clark is a stash for next year. He has borderline first round talent. Ezeudu is guard depth or can challenge BC for LG. Ferguson is a Dalton Shultz/Dawson Knox type. Weatherford has the mesurables to become a LB if he struggles at SS. Worst case, with his measurements and athletic ability he could be a core ST guy. Williams was a great deal, not likely to be around that late in the draft. Didn't even realize that I traded with Atlanta twice. LIkely would never happen, but who knows?

Draft strategy: 1. Neal 2. Icky 3. Trade back, then target 4. Cross 5. Pickett 6. Carrol 7. Z.Johnson/K. Greene If we trade back to the 20's, we should recoup at least a 2nd and 3rd round pick. At that point I would be comfortable with solidifying LG with an actual LG such as Johnson or Green and let BC start at LT. In the 2nd or 3rd look at someone to develop at LT. Someone like Bernhard Raimann or Nicholas Petit-Frere would be a great grab at that point. This would have us solid at RT, RG, and C. Brady has some experience at LT, and a 1st/2nd round LG should not be an issue.

If we are able to get either Icky or Neal in the 1st round I would offer the Iggle's either our 4th round pick #137 and P.J. Walker or next years 4th with incentives to become a 3rd for Gardner Minshew. Worst case, there is legit competition for Darnold, the team may get reinveriratoed by a QB who can actually start in the NFL, and we find what may just be the next Jake Delhomme. 4th round picks are more miss that hit, so I would feel like this would be a great use of the pick.

4/4/22 Mock Draft: Round 1: Pick 6: Evan Neal Alabama LT - Don't over think it. Build the line and the offense will prevail. Round 4: Pick 137: TRADE!!!!! We offer the Eagles the choice of this pick and P.J. Walker, or next year's fourth that could become a 3rd based on incentives. If I was the Iggle's GM, I'd take the the picks for next year, but I have a feeling they'd take this pick and P.J. Walker. In exchange, we get the MAN, they Myth, the Mustache... Gardner Minshew. Round 5: Pick 144: Isiah Thomas EDGE Oklahoma Pick 149: Micha McFadden LB Indiana Round 6: Pick 199: Logan Brush OL Wisconsin Round 7: Pick 242: Jack Coan QB Notre Dame My personal feeling is that if you get two starters out of a draft it is a success. Neal is the missing piece on our OL. This will allow us to run and pass the ball with more consistency. Minshew should be able to overtake Darnold and provide us with a starting QB for only a 4th round pick. I'll take that all day every day. This also allows us to exercise some control for 2022 QB. If Minshew preforms well, he can be had for Sam Darnold money over 2-3 years, not 40 million a season. If he falters, we will be in position to draft a QB from a much better class AFTER we have filled some major holes on our roster. Coan is a QB who can be developed into a back-up. NFL.com rates both Thomas and Brush very highly, and over the years their observations have been pretty spot on. McFadden is at worst a core special teams player IMO. We leave our 2023 draft capital untouched. We still have lots of cap space to add veterans who have not signed or have been cut after the draft to fill out depth. Additionally, and more importantly, I think a trade for Minshew and creating an open competition would bolster confidence in our QB position across the league and make some players more inclined to sign here.

Not too terrible of a comparison or a bad deal IMO. I'd like to think that Fitt and Morgan can build a better team than the teens Bengals. I'd take 8 years of quality production and not have 50M per year allocated to one player so we can keep a team together. Have we ever made the playoffs for 5 seasons straight?
