Totally. I will randomly get offered 3 picks in the first two rounds and next years first to move back one spot - essentially giving the Pats the first choice (would do it in a heartbeat unless Peters and co were absolutely sold on Maye or JD), but anything I offer up is rejected. Lol.

Oh and …

It's too long until the draft and to keep our brains busy we are starting to dream up new scenarios for their entertainment value.

Yep, and still over a month left to go.

I'd bet money that Maye will be no better than Sam and Daniels will get hurt he doesn't have the build to take punishment just like RG iii .. And Marcus is a joke ! History is on my side ..count all the QB bust and tell me different ..we ain't getting CJ stroud or patrick Mahomes .. we getting a Josh Rosen,Zach Wilson,Kenny Pickett,Trey Lance,Bryce Young,Justin Fields,Desmond Ritter, Bailey Zappe,Sam Darnold .. that is what History and facts are telling us ..I'm not sold on this years QB class ..if you are great !

I'm definitely more negative here than I am in real life. But yeah, I don't get the need to be negative about what we've all been waiting for, for a long time. We haven't picked anyone yet and he hasn't played a down. I mean, it's time to be positive, even just for sanity's sake.

this team for 23 years has been depressing .. i refuse to buy into that a roster of 50 plus pro athletes all rides on one Rookie QB .. that's depressing! If you have the right system and a very good roster you don't need Mahomes .. what's depressing is thinking ONE guy alone will make or break it .. it takes the Entire team and staff/system ... I'll prove my point . IF Caleb Williams or Maye or Daniels are the answer then why didn't any of them win the National Championship?? WHO WON THAT??? ..

Out of the last 10 super bowl winning teams, 9 of them had hall of fame or future guaranteed HOF QBs. The one outlier was Foles.

You need a really good fucking QB to win a Super Bowl, unless you want to hedge your chances on a unicorn like hot streak Foles went on. Who then immediately faded back into obscurity.

Your super bowl chances are absolutely attached to your QB, regardless of experience.

Not only that, but the front office is doing a hell of a job laying a foundation for whichever QB they bring in.

You don't build a team by bringing in All-Star after All-Star. You build by bringing in players that know your system or you trust can learn your system and you build from the bottom up. This front office had a huge luxury with cap space lots of draft picks and a top tier of draft number two pick In a quarterback strong draft. I am happy to be optimistic and accepting whatever this front office does.

It's a breath of fresh air from the past 20 years.

Cincy went from the top pick to the Super Bowl in 2 years, it only took Houston one to go from the 2nd pick to the playoffs. Sure there were other players involved but if you can't see how having a franchise QB totally changes your fortunes, or how Patrick Mahomes is the reason the Chiefs are the Chiefs, I have no idea what game you are watching.

[That Guy]

business case:
take QB #2 (which the fans are generally hyped about/expecting)
- increased ticket sales, more jerseys/stadium attendance/food sales/etc. Coaches/GM get 2 years of patience and even if it doesn't work out, everyone was on board/thought it'd work out, so AP keeps his job and tries again.


OTOH: If rattler is the 2nd coming, AP gets called a genius, but if it fails, he gets fired.

There's a lot of 'I don't want to draft a QB at 2 because none of these players are absolutely perfect in every way, but I'd love to trade down and get someone that's generally considered way worse instead'

[Chief X_Phackter]

I don't care what they do at #2. I'd be surprised if they don't select a QB, but who knows. Trade up, trade down, make a selection - I will defer to the experts on what the best thing for this team is. It's tough to imagine that they traded Sam and don't plan to select a QB at # 2 though.
