Re: 2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Just don’t move up and lose draft picks. If you get a guy and he sucks, swing again next year with another pick on a QB.

I think the Trey Lance and Brock Purdy experience lessons matter to Peters.

Why move up for a gamble like Lance? Even if it’s one spot you impact a roster that’s in much more dire need of talent. And you got a starter the next year in Purdy late in the draft. It can be done.

You move up because you think he will be a game changer.
If the team thinks Caleb Williams will be anywhere near Mahomes then you have to make the trade.

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl with only one first round pick (Mahomes) starting on offense.
It's by far more important to have an elite QB than any other position by far.

Also, the Trey Lance trade didn't really set SF back. End of the day, they still are stacked with talent.
