We've traded a 3rd round pick (receiving a 5th round pick in return) and a future 6th round pick.

I don't know what game of poker you're playing, but we're absolutely not all-in on a doomsday Playoffs or bust scenario.

We don't even need that many new players next year, Draft O-line w every pick and someone is bound to work out

Of the big 5 qb prospects last draft, 3 of them were gone before our pick.   That leaves two.  If we had taken Jones then 95% of the people on this board (including the ones who wanted to take a qb) would have had a complete meltdown.   That leaves one, the elephant in the room.  No matter how you feel about Fields, the coaches and scouts obviously questioned some things because he was there for the taking and they didnt take him.  Was this overall questions or scheme questions, who knows?  We never will most likely.   Regardless, the fact we didnt draft one of those 2 qbs that were there and signed Darnold's 5th year option the next day tells you how they felt about those qbs, Darnold, and I'm sure they looked at upcoming qbs as well.  I'm pretty sure Rhule and Fitt scout and plan ahead as much as possible. 

My position is and has been that we will know what we have in Darnold by the end of the season and we don't have to have knee jerk reactions after every week. 

The panthers are 3-1 and should go 4-1 this week. Let's enjoy it. I'd rather do that than do what we did with Teddy every week.

The willis kid isnt really playing anyone and looks a bit small imo.

Rattler I was never a fan of.

Howell, man there is just something off about him.  Locks on his first target and gets happy feet in the pocket.  Seems talented but I would rather go with Darnold than rolling the dice with him.  Like I have posted many times before,  I would be super uneasy if my team drafted Howell to be the man of the franchise. 

As for the others I couldnt tell you if they are worth a first round pick.

Its going to have to be an extreme scenario IMO in which we pick a qb in the first in the 2022 draft.  I would have to imagine a lineman is going to be on the radar no matter how Darnold finishes the season.

It is early but this 2022 QB class looks like it may not have a surefire 1st round pick in it.

Let's hope Darnold is the guy. If he is, our future is so, so, so bright.

I agree, which sucks because my gut tells me we will be picking in the high teens lower 20's and we need good players to be pushed down to us.  We need like 3 qbs to go top 15.  But I aint seeing it unless someone falls in love with Willis or Howell.  poo I doubt Rattler even sees the field again after yesterday

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
