Week 8: Draft Status Update

Exactly.  We need to stay put and take a non-QB or trade back and do the same thing if wed can find a trading partner.  Edge is a HUGE need.  We need to find our next Peppers in this draft.

I'm not against drafting a QB depending on who we can get in FA.  I kind of like Ward as of now, but a lot can change...  Edge is a huge need, I'm just not sure there is one worth the top pick.  If we trade down it really opens up our options.

People are getting it now.  I am seeing this posted more and more. Obviously, I am in complete agreement.

I get it, I really do and not totally opposed to it, but by doing this you are basically ensuring at least 2 more shitty seasons at the very least.  I think we have to pick a guy this year even if its a project to have someone that is potentially developing.  Rolling with a vet next year feels like another top 5 pick.

We will be set up just to fail just like when we took Gerber two drafts ago and didn't have the supporting cast around him.  I mean Tepper loves repeating the same mistakes, so I don't see why he would stop now.  This team is so bad that we will have a top 5 or top 10 pick in '26 anyway--vet or rookie QB next year, it doesn't matter.  My contention is build the team and get the rookie QB in a seemingly much deeper QB in '26.  Hopefully by then we have more pieces on the team to help the rookie.  If we go the veteran route and the dude is at lest decent, we don't have to rush the rookie into the lineup right away in '26.

I think the next qb we draft has to sit regardless.  I dont think there is any negative drafting a kid and making him sit 8-10 games whatever.  I know people can point to cam, Daniels this season or whoever, but there is a laundry list of guys thrown to the wolves that have damn near ruined them professionally

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
