4 looks like his floor. And many believe he is that once in a generational talent. And I know the chances of us making a move this drastic are out of this world but,humor me.. given the state of the team, and what it would take to move up to say 4. Would you be willing to pull a mike ditka sans Ricky Williams for Barkley? (It’s the off-season and we have no owner or gm...sorry)

If this past draft has shown us anything, it’s that you can find good RBs later in the draft.  You can certainly get a beast like fournette early, but u can get a Alvin Kamara late and be just as happy.  This is the case most years to be honest.  No desperate team is dropping a whopper of a package to move up from the 20s to top 3 for anything but a QB.  Def not for a RB!

RB is not a position to covet high in the draft.  If you have a pick and he happens to land there you take him. Sure.  But betting the farm on a RB is not good. It’s obey hi great gamble a first to spicing I b one butto package future 1st rounds or other picks could be devastating .  Only for a DE or QB would be the general rule

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
