Double Trouble

My ideal first 3 picks. Build the line. Then put St. Brown in the slot and let him go to work. Another option could be go CB/S in round 3 and add Demetric Felton in round 4 as a gadget guy.

Agree, double down on the OL first two picks and call it a day. Regardless of if Darnold ends up the answer or not, having a good OL in place is huge.

Tannehill was better through three years. I don't disagree. He had good year 3 numbers. But the scenarios are also very different. Darnold is much newer/younger to the position (started barely over a year in high school and just two at USC) and had a much worse situation entering the NFL. Still just 23 (basically how old Joe Burrow was his senior year at LSU with Joe Brady). The trade is a bet on our coaching. They really like Darnold's talent obviously. Really the only pick of real value we gave up is a 2022 second. Risk/reward here is very good. Give it a rest.

Ryan Tannehill was also throwing it 590 times a season. Darnold actually had more yards per attempt in his first two seasons than Tannehill. definitely doing some massive cherry picking...

He only had 106 pass attempts in high school entering his senior year. So of course his mechanics are raw in this lol.

Yep. Also almost a year younger than Burrow. Played LB for first two years at San Clemente (filled in for two starts at QB). Junior year, played 4 games due to injury. Dude had 106 pass attempts going into his senior year of high school. Started two years at USC. So basically he only had 3 years LIFETIME experience as a QB before being drafted by the Jets and was forced to start with no weapons and poor coaching. Recipe for disaster for anyone let alone a guy that new to the position.

Agree with this and could easily see this happening. But at the same time, part of me would just want Slater at 8 in this scenario and call it a day. Finally address LT with a first rounder.

CMC played against Darnold twice his senior year. Robby Anderson had him throwing to him. Joe Brady is supposed to be a QB guru and we already picked up the option. It's as if they see something people here don't...what a profound idea lol.

hahaha no Sam slander let my guy go to work first at least

Let's get to work Sam!!!

Sewell or Slater has to be the pick. Assuming pitts doesnt fall

Darnold didn't play QB until he was a junior in high school. He saved Clay Helton's job single handedly, and then played under gase. dude hasn't had legit coaching his entire career. That will change here.

I'm so happy. Fight on and go panthers. Will actually be some excitement this season. Darnold can play just wait...

Someone may have said this (didn't read through all the pages) but Michael Sam was technically the star of the Missouri line and Ealy looks promising!

you're gonna lose the superbowl *nationwide jingle*

just checking in...WE ARE SO GOOD this is awesome!!!!

how about you try scoring earlier so this situation never happens? what a fuging concept uggghh

what in the actual fug was that run call

secondary sucks. watch for onside kick

playing not to lose. throw the damn ball. don't stray from what's working.

6 minute TD drive here puts game out of reach. JUST SCORE PLZ

why does it have to be so difficult to keep the same level of intensity going for 4 quarters :/

we are so good. this is the best we've played all year

games are won in the trenches :)
