That is a legit question, and may cause the 2022 second and fourth rounders to be of less value.

supposedly has some hands issues as well

The trade is nothing--we gave Erving $8m guaranteed for 2 years--nobody is touting him as the LT. I love the fact that we do not know.

I get this, but lets say we have a competition and Darnold plays 8 games and give the reins to Fields. Darnold has trade value, and might get a second rounder and a fourth rounder in 2022. So we lose a 6th--a comp pick. I think we do not go Qb and we draft T or CB, WR in second

can you imagine what this does to the lower back?

I have been banned from from some sites. If you get those infrared glasses, you can see it all.

Devil's advocate: (about drafting a CB at 8)--we need a #1 outside CB to take away the alpha WRs in the conference. It makes the entire secondary better. My preference (and I am a lifelong Gamecock fan--Dad caught 35 passes for them the year I was born) is Surtain because he can press and does not bite on double moves. That allows the safety to cheat toward the #2. I have said that before, and if true, a #1 CB with that skill set is very valuable if you consider that we were 31st in the league in getting off the field on 3rd downs. Yes, we need to protect the blind side---but we also need to be assessing player impact as much as player vs player. If we move back and get Surtain or Horn, and then grab a LT in round 2---elation and joy. iF we stay put and take a Sewell or Slater, we get a #2 CB or nickel in round 2.

They could not afford you. Besides, he makes a great cup of coffee.

I know people who have worked with Persons. He is a joke. I wonder if he even has a press pass.

I checked his papers on Dude.com. He is not a dude at this time.

Agree for the most part, but changes are added: QB - Lawrence RB - Etienne (Harris--hard to judge a back who never gets hit at the LOS) WR - Chase (Depends on what kind you need, but yes, he is elite) OT - Sewell (Best since Joe Thomas, if you ask me) iOL - Vera-Tucker (This is the best answer, but I think there is a chance Wyatt Davis or Creed Humphries are better pros---I also expect a player listed as a T becomes an elite G---maybe even Slater) TE - Pitts (Not really a true TE--more of a Left mismatch or right mismatch) EDGE - Phillips (Kity may have the upside, but I see this) iDL - Onwuzurike (yep---love to see these guys in SEC or Big 10 Uniforms though) LB - Collins (Parsons, but the most incredible person at this position may come from Tulsa) CB - Horn (Surtain for me, only because he is less vulnerable to the double moves, which means you can cheat the S toward the weaker CB. Horn is solid however, and if Farley was not a bit dinged with a recurring back flare up, he could get love here too.) Good thread. S - Cisco

I think I am following the Basbear vs. 45 side bet as much as the draft itself.

I see it

THere was something on a website of them moving their RT inside...I forget now that it is so long ago since I read it. LT? They are good.

That's pretty damn interesting if you ask me. I'm in.

I bet you $11,000,432.22 that they dont--and I will give 5-1 odds.

We play the Pats every year. (except 2020)

It was worse when Kiper knew the pick before it was announced and he predicted the pick correctly every time, even though his Draft eve mock featured a .02 success rate.

It will be on, but they will still be talking about the Dolphins pick at #6, then they will tell a story and interview a former coach, then they will say, "Oh, look who is on the clock at #14..."

Some people just have a feel for perfect timing.

Anyone reading the NY Post is dumb as one. Why is this thread a thing?

Nice--I have not been considering him seriously.

Why does it matter who wants a QB or not? This is about the draft, the risks, etc. When you say, "There is also the very real possibility that Darnold does not work out..." are you implying that there is also a chance that he does? Are you also implying that there is a chance Fields, Wilson, Lance, and Lawrence do not work out? When you say, "(the odds) are not significantly higher than a rookie..." What is that based on? Your judgement? So you are judging what you think I want by making biased, unsubstantiated statements you cannot support to oppose an assumption. Then you conclude with advice on how we should enjoy this draft. Nice.
