The good news is leadership brought in a guy that coached both Caleb and Mahomes.
If they do or don't trade for the 1st pick, it's probably the correct decision.

Next question is how close is Daniels.

True. If the new leadership believes they can develop Daniels into a Top 10 QB, then they may not feel the need to sacrifice a lot of talent for Williams. That would set us up to stay at #2 and reap the benefits.

Key is Ron isn't making the decisions anymore.

Peters worked with Mahew in SF, and it's too late right now to make big changes in the front office anyway.

Ron did the same thing when he first came in, it wasn't until his 2nd year he started making changes.

Mayhew is a former Skin, I hope it works out for him. Always nice to have former players in the organization. He's now probably the happiest man in Ashburn, doesn't have Snyder or Rivera dragging him down. Possibility for a fresh start. Won't really know how it went until after the draft though.

I think trying to hire a new scouting department and FO would be a disaster right before FA and draft. That said I am confident Peters has external people he is leaning on and Shen will work his magic.

I am not sold we are moving from 2 to 1 and I am not worried about it because if they are that confident the only way to get the only QB in the draft that will be elite caliber is to draft 1, that if you draft #2 you will not get an NFL caliber starter, then you have to do it no matter what.

As a Wisconsin alum, I can say with confidence that I do not want Braelon Allen on the Redskins.

I get the feeling Penix is one of those guys that could be drafted much later than he's projected.

SI's Albert Breer pulled out the Kliff Kingsbury card during an interview for CHGO.

"Kliff loves, loves, loves, loves Caleb Williams," Breer said. "Kliff said to me on the record that the comparisons to he and Patrick Mahomes are eerie. It's eerie how similar they are."

Not that I am a chess player but

a. Kliff interviews with Chicago and discusses vision and learns their vision
b. Kliff ends up as OC in Washington knowing Chicago's vision.
c. Kliff tells everyone how similar Caleb is to Patrick

I think Kliff likes a guy and his name is not Caleb

My estimated odds:

30% - Trade up to No. 1
60% - Pick best BPA at QB at No. 2
10% - Trade down for more picks

60% of the time it works all the time. Nice

I am slowly warming up to trading up for Caleb. We just have so many damn holes. If we could still acquire a quality OT and G plus some defense through FA I would be completely on board. The only reason I don’t like Caleb is his height and that is a terrible reason.

I think we all just have to trust the process with new leadership. I don't want to trade up for Williams, but if that's what Harris/Peters determine is the right call, then we just have to roll with it. The alternative, is absolutely hating everything from the jump, and that's not where I want to be.

I have a question. Obviously Peters has already compiled a lot of work for this draft. But he was working for the Niners. Can he take his work with him to Washington or would that be the property of SF?
