Does it feel like if we had a veteran and he could sit for a year or two he would be a great pick, but drafting him to compete with Bryce is a stretch? I really want the best G/C at 33.

There are a lot of ways to approach this, but remember, the new coach may watch film and decide Ickey goes inside to G.  Corbett is in his prime. BC?  Are we keeping Moton and that $30m cap hit?  You could be right.

I am looking at WR or TE at #33, because I think the line was poorly coached.  I am not sure Campen was able to effectively communicate with these young players.  He is as old school as they come, and I saw NO growth across the board.

that kid from Tulane (QB) Pratt could be a diamond in the rough if given a year or two.

I doubt he will be there, but Bo Nix had 60 starts in college and demonstrated at Oregon that he can complete over 70% of his passes.  He could be there at #33.  I see him going to Denver or Vegas, but I also heard that Payton likes McCarthy, and Penix could end up in Vegas.  Very early, however, but you never know--it is highly unusual for 5 QBs to go in round 1, and there are 6 who might.

If you look at my mock drafts I snap up QBs. I want one immediately. The Panthers on the other hand, who knows.

The FA QB market sucks this offseason too and is deep (as of now) after next year.  I doubt we retain Dalton so we need a competent guy to be the back up to whomever the QB is after 2024 and potentially start out of the gate is we draft a rookie QB in 2025.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
