Dolphins got

- Tyreek Hill

- Waddle

- Bradley Chubb 

Off that pick

And had we lost the Redskins game where we won because of Haskins (released after that game) and them dropping a punt for a TD, those picks were ours. SMH to all the it’s not worth it to tank for picks when you are already done. Always seems like we are one pick away from a Herbert or a fleecing of SF.

Those picks wouldn’t be ours.  Because we would’ve used the pick on Trey Lance because we didn’t have a QB.

We passed on Fields at 8, we weren’t taking Lance at 3. We traded for Darnold before that draft for a 2nd, 4th and 6th. We would have had those picks although considering our trading pick prowess we likely wouldn’t have gotten as much as Miami did.

We were rumored to have liked those top 3 but not Fields.

we traded for Darnold after SF moved up to that spot to take the 3rd QB off the board

Sam Darnold has officially been named the backup. He beat Lance for the job.

Darnold will start games this year

Glad we didn't fall for Lance. There was never a bigger risk in the top 10 of the draft at QB in my eyes. Didn't throw the ball in high school and only chucked it for one year in college and his college competition was super on the low end.

WTF is going on in college football?

 

There is now talk of California/Stanford/SMU joining the ACC. Those long distance flights will be crazy lmao. College football just needs to get rid of conferences all together. There is no longer college rivalry games anymore with all this movement.

I never got the whole love affair with him.  As you said, just too little to go on to conclude he was going to develop into an NFL QB, let alone do so in a year or two.  Who knows, maybe if he hadn't gotten hurt in their second game last year he would have shown something.  The other side of that coin is he might have played himself off the roster, too.

I didn't have a warm, fuzzy with Zach Wilson, either, but at least there was a body of work to evaluate.

Conferences (in football, anyways) were a mistake and TV money is tearing the sport apart.  Notre Dame had the right idea all this time. Shame that we finally get an actual playoff system once the sport is all but dead. The Cal/Stanford/SMU move seems to be one vote away from going through at this time but there's no guarantee that vote'll come, though you'd think State would be swayable. Guess we'll see.
