High draft pick..take advantage of it

How many times will a young team on the upswing have a top ten pick. Every year you get better and fall farther down in the draft. Need a QB? Very talented group this year and we should get a good one out of the bunch. 

Even if we trade down, we won't have to sell the farm to do it.

Sure D W is very good. Unless we trade CMC, possibly another good young player, and draft picks it isn't going to happen.

Not sure it's worth it in the long run.....

What you got?

I'd say this is the approach most likely to take place. I can't see this staff putting all their eggs in to one basket one year in with a new GM who made his name as a scout. They will try build this team the way the good teams have always been built. You need a foundation of talent, not a lone superstar. I can't think of a team that has been successful throwing their draft capital away like that.

You speak as though we're bereft of talent. Like Greenie says, a young QB of this caliber that hasn't even hit his prime yet doesn't happen. That being said, I'm good if it happens or not.

I can't think of a better way to take advantage of it than packaging it for Deshaun. 

I'd have to say using it to pick our own franchise quarterback without having to give away a bunch of other stuff that we can use to rebuild the team would be superior.

Granted, it's also a huge risk.

We have a few great and promising players. We have little depth and no offensive line. The floor of your roster is more important than the ceiling IMO.

0.0% chance Stafford is dealt for a 3rd or 4th rounder.  A few teams would probably happily ship out their 1st rounder for him. 

The highest ive seen him project is a 2nd round pick. His injury history doesnt help the trade value. It's not a matter of missed games, its that matter of the beating his body has taken.

Unless they build the offensive line then we will see a repeat of the early Cam Newton debacle. Sure D.W may have better tools, but he is an athletic QB who can run with a rocket arm....just like Cam was. 

The oline was always swiss cheese during his prime years. Got his ass beat and he was never able to fulfill his potential.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
