So now we have to take our medicine in the 2022 season. We're going to get destroyed, but our franchise will be rewarded with one the top picks in the 2023 draft. That draft has the potential to yield a franchise QB, unlike the 2022 draft which is poop for QBs.

I wanted Watson at a fair price, but Watson knew better than to come here. I wouldn't come here either if I were Watson.

This is the time when we need to painfully take a beating on Sunday with the future in mind. The 2022 draft should give us a LT for the rookie QB we draft in 2023. We pay the price now and throughout 2022, and then we hit the home run in 2023 hopefully. Slow, boring, disappointing, soul crushing, but the end is in site. The 2023 draft is everything at this point.

If Rhule trades our 2023 first round pick, then I will leave the forum until he is fired.


Yep. This is the best path forward. Trading for a mid tier QB just to win 6-7 games is pointless. Suck and draft high.

I feel like Rhule needs stripped of any rights to do any more GM like duties and he needs to either sink or swim with Sam due to his poor history with QB's since the day Tepper regretfully signed on this goof ball coach. 2023 we could end up with a new quality coach and a very solid young QB of we play our cards well and just let Sam go be Sam.

This should have been done in 2020 but alas we are a couple seasons behind the plan.  Just roll with Darnold and start completely clean and free next season/draft

They’ll draft one this year, have that fully guaranteed contract and then do it again the next year with a new coach.

This sucks and it’s gonna suck more.

If they dont draft a LT at 6 I may just lose my mind.  Drafting a qb at 6 just to have on your roster is pure insanity

The franchise should be embarrassed that they've been turned down by several top tier quarterbacks. 

It's hilariously depressing that Tepper can't see it. He's built an organization that no one with other viable options wants to be a part of. The only guys we're going to get are afterthoughts or ones we're willing to significantly overpay.

They'll have the spin machine out in full force, no doubt. Gonna be hard to spin this poo, but they'll try and several homers with rose colored glasses will buy it and preach it, looking down their noses at all the "fake fans" who criticize the team. 

I'm just interested to see what that spin will be.

Option A - sign Marcus Mariota 

Option B - trade for Gardner Minshew 

Option C - trade for Jimmy G

Option C is off the table. We don't have enough draft capital for Jimmy G.

Option B: I don't know what Mariota is worth these days. Since he's a back up we know he's not a top 20 quarterback. I don't even know if he's under contract or a FA to be honest. 

Option A: I'd have no problems with trading for Minshew with a 5th round pick. He's had starter experience.  I think he's better than Darnold. At worst, he'd possibly cause Darnold to elevate his game just by bringing legitimate competiton for the starter position. Rhule should have a veteran on the roster instead of PJ Walker to push Darnold harder. And, Minshew would be the perfect guy to hold things down in 2023 if we draft a rookie who isn't ready to take control of the offense to start the season.

On a scale of 1-10 this is a 1. 
 

losing the super bowl in 2015 was a 9. Cam hurting his shoulder was a 10.

You think actually being good enough to get all the way to a Super Bowl and losing is a bigger disaster than flailing around directionless with a black hole at the QB position?

lol

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By CarolinaRideorDie · Posted

      Demetrius Knight is a steal at this point. He is flying under the radar but Luke Kuechly and Mike Rucker voluntarily brought him up in their interviews with the Panthers. He is smart, instinctive, and violent. There is a lot of chatter of Jalon Walker possibly being considered at 4 with Patriots and Jaguars at 5. If those teams are considering him at that high in the draft, we shouldn't complain picking him up at 8. Teams who interviewed Walker says his football IQ is equivalent to a defensive coordinator. I would be thrilled with Walker.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Getting a general one going in the main forum a week ahead of the draft. Take this all with a grain of salt.  This stuff usually ends up wildly different; but truths are peppered in.   Notes as of late: The common top-4, barring trades: 1-Ward, 2-Hunter, 3-Carter, 4-Campbell (I do wonder if NYG take calls) Giants are seeing Shedeur once more but still sounds like they're leaning Carter (Maybe trading up from 34?) Jeanty to the Jaguars is starting to pick up legitimate steam.  Vegas odds have dramatically increased, Brugler and a few others have switched him as their JAX choice at 5.   If that happens, the Raiders could very well be eyeing Jalon Walker Jets choice to come down to Graham vs. Warren vs. Membou (if all 3 end up available) Panthers have been linked to both UGA guys, mostly Jalon Walker.  Buuut do wonder what happens if Graham is there. Some links: Raiders Insider (Carpenter) reporting Walker buzz: https://www.raidersbeat.com/raiders-insider-team-believes-2025-draft-has-best-lb-prospect-since-micah-parsons/ Jets/Graham: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mason-graham-set-to-visit-jets-on-tuesday Brugler's Mock w/Jeanty @5: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6279834/2025/04/16/nfl-mock-draft-2025-full-seven-rounds-dane-brugler/ Jeanty-Jags: https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/amp/jaguars_rumors_insider_believes_jacksonville_could_take_ashton_jeanty_ahead_of_raiders/s1_17114_42056921   - Feel free to link, chatter, or paste in the poo from bluesky or x
