I'm one of the biggest Bryce haters on here, so this may come as a shock, but I don't have him on any kind of leash, if healthy, he's my starter for all 17 games no matter what, and maybe even all 17 games in 2025 too. We aren't going to be a contending team until we replace him at QB and next year's QB class is very questionable at the moment. I have no issue losing every game until we are able to replace Bryce with a legitimate replacement, so I'm not benching him when he sucks for someone better, someone who will give us a better chance to win games, but not good enough to make us long term contenders. So start him 17 games, get a better draft pick and hopefully #1 next year. If there isn't a sure fire QB prospect to take (and under no circumstances will I ever want Sanders, the kid is more about his personal celebrity image than being a player and I want nothing to do with Deion hovering over everything with him), pull a Chicago, trade it for a bunch of assets, and if we can't, then use it to get an elite prospect at another position and keep building out the roster. Lose again in 2025 and get another Top 5 pick, at which point we take a new QB to move on from Bryce (fingers crossed it's Arch Manning at that point)

The coaches want to win, but they know we’re not contenders this year and playing the long game with a guy coming off a torn ACL the previous November is the smart play

I still think it makes more sense to keep him around this year anyways. Brooks tore his ACL in November, even if he's ready to go for the start of camp, I'd like to see him on a low snap count early in the season and be part of a rotation all year, no matter how good he ends up looking. We're not contending for the playoffs this year anyways, no need to risk putting too much of a workload on that knee before even the year mark of the injury. Let him get through his rookie season in one piece as part of a 3 headed committee and then take the reins off him in year 2 and give him 20 or more touches a game as a 3 down back.

From what I saw, the $10 million dead cap hit was if he was a post June 1st cut, not $8 If it’s really $8, then that changes things as that is basically his cap hit anyways, at that point he probably would get cut or traded.

Nope, because dead cap hits are from the bonus already paid out. He costs us that $7 million on the cap this season if on the roster, but the $10 and change if he’s not, no matter how it happens. Cant get rid of him and then lose out on $3 million of cap space. Thats either a decent vet we can’t sign or $3 million we can’t roll over into next season, either way it would be stupid. At worst he’s a weekly inactive who we have in case of injuries, at best he’s part of a 3 man rotation this year with Chubba and the rookie, especially with him coming off the ACL, we probably should give him a light early work load.

In this instance I think they're the same thing. With who is available, I think there are players at CB, TE, Edge that are more likely to be starters and impact players down the line than we'd get from any Center prospects at the moment. Any Center we take with the first pick of the 4th, we'd be able to likely get an equally good center prospect later in the draft or during camp cuts.

I think we're more likely to find a backup C option later in the draft than we would get potential impact rotational (if not starters) at other positions with this first pick in the 4th. Take a CB, TE, Edge/LB, and they have a better chance at contributing this year than if we take a Center, who we can take later and/or look to pick up a training camp cut as a backup.

Sanders will be on the team this year, it would be irresponsible if he wasn't. He counts $7.7 million against the cap. If we cut or trade him, we take a $10.5 million cap hit It would literally cost us almost $3 million more in cap space to get rid of him than it would to just have him be a backup or inactive every week.

Jacob Cowing in the 5th or 6th He's going to be a longtime successful slot WR in this league, I'm quite convinced of that. Have him back up Thielen this year to learn and then take over as the starting slot WR next year, he'd be Bryce's safety valve with his crisp route running and sure hands.

I don't know anything about the other couple top available TE's But all I'll say is if we go TE to start Round 4 tomorrow.... I'm an Arizona alum, so yea, I'd be pretty happy if we took McLachlan. Although I'll say, unless there are some medical concerns or something, I'd love to see us take TJ Tampa to start the day, I wanted him a while ago. 6'1" and they say does a great job at jamming WR's at the line, would be great in our division against the big strong WRs we have to face.

As long as we take Tampa or Wilson here, then I'm now okay with the trade back, as those were the two guys I wanted us to take with the first pick of the round anyways.

Eh, unless we REALLY know the guy we want right now will still be there, not sure it's worth moving 7 picks back to get a 5th rounder out of it. Rather them just take the guy they want right now

Damn And back to back go the 2 players I wanted the most there at 39 But hard to pass on picking up an extra 2nd and 5th to move down 13 spots, that's too good to pass up, but man both of those guys would have been huge for us to land

In reality, with this year's draft, we likely actually didn't give anything up in the grand scheme of things. They say the middle to late rounds this year is the wild west with how teams view players, there is basically a 100% chance there will be at least one (if not more) players that we would have taken with that pick at 141, that will still be there at the 200th pick we got back.

That's actually exactly why trading up 1 pick was a great move. We're not going to be winning for a few more years, so it gets us an extra year of contract control on him, to align when we're hopefully going to be winning games again.

It's unlikely, and realistically it would probably need to be that 2nd next year and maybe a 4th this year, but even that I'd be okay with since we'd have still picked up 52 out of it. Would take a team right now just not loving anyone and nobody else out bidding us, which again seems unlikely, but there are a few guys still out there (like the CB's) that I really want right now

We need to immediately try and trade that Rams 2025 2nd to get back into the next 5 picks or so, while not giving up the 52nd we just got. Maybe try to give up the 2 picks we just got to move back into the next 5 picks, get one of the players we could have taken here while also picking up 52 out of it. I'd be ecstatic to do that right now.

I'd be okay with next year's 2nd and say, a 4th this year as well, maybe even their 3rd That's a HUGE drop with the players currently on the board

Traded all the way down to 52?!?!?!! Why do I feel like I'm going to be very underwhelmed with the return we got. Better have gotten multiple picks, maybe even their 2nd next year, that's a big drop with the players still on the board right now.

Please just take one of these CB's who shouldn't have fallen this far I would be okay with a trade back as long as it's no more than 3-5 spots lower than we're currently at, as there are enough players I like right now that I'd be good with taking in that range. But only if a team overpays to do so, such as giving us like an early 3rd rounder to do so (which I don't see happening, so just take one of the CB's)

Seriously... Juan should be banned from posting twitter links if he's just going to post the links and not let them load into the posts first. It's not that hard, more frustrating than just the idiots on here who post the most unrealistic ideas/situations.

wait, did we just trade into this pick!??!?!?!

So Buffalo who needs a WR, trades with KC so they can move up and get their preferred WR?!?!?!?! KC also got the draft pick they used on Mahomes in a trade with Buffalo too. If these two become an elite combo for the next 10 years, Buffalo is really going to be kicking themselves.

The Vikings traded up 2 picks later, I'm quite sure if they would have called the Vikings, they could have moved back 3 picks to get more assets and then likely still gotten Pennix (think the Vikings always wanted JJ anyways), taken someone else, or traded back again.

They signed Kirk because they think they have a legit SB window with him at QB They could have just added an elite prospect to help on said SB run Making a pick for the future because they're about to lose even more draft picks, and thus lose out on more players they could use for said hopeful SB run, is the epitome of stupid. If they lose say their 1st next year because of this, that means they'll have signed Kirk for a SB run and then not had a 1st round pick to help out in the first 2 years of his contract.
