DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 Draft Day LIVE Discussion Thread Day 1

[Triumph]

Jonathan Kraft makes history tonight.

I’m good with picking Maye. If it fails I won’t be devastated. He’s a top notch prospect: take the swing don’t play it safe.

Could still be a smoke screen.

Twist the knife a bit on the Giants and Vikings.

Maybe they pick maye and that’s the smoke screen

I'm so ready for all the speculation and prognostication to be over and for the second guessing to begin.

 

[Uptown]

Hopefully..

 

[Hyped]

If this made sense why aren’t teams trading their franchise QB’s for multiple picks?

Because their QBs are PROVEN commodities?

Right now there is minimal difference between Maye and McCarthy, but Maye is more valuable by what? 2-7 pick slots? Why not take advantage of that perceived value? I see it as: Maye vs. McCarthy/A 1st round OL-man/another pick for a WR in round 3?

I hope Wolf doesn’t overrule the guys they hired who specialize in identifying and developing QBs.

That still shouldn't preclude him from trading-down first if the opportunity hopefully presents itself.

Aiyuk is not a franchise WR.

You might disagree with the 'franchise' statement but I don't think there's any argument putting Aiyuk on this team immediately makes this WR corps better and he would instantly become our WR1. Over the past 2 seasons he has put up 1015 yards with 8 TDs and 1342 yards with 7 TDs. I'll be really excited if we can get him in a trade.

With Bill gone. I think for once we need to be aggressive in the draft. Get Drake at 3 and then pick up the phone and trade back into the first and get a WR. The offense desperately needs more talent after years of Bb neglecting it

I really like the idea of holding the Cardinals hostage for at least an extra third round pick by telling them we’ll let the chargers leap frog them for their preferred WR unless they poney up. Seems risky but I don’t really think
It is.

I would LOVE to squeeze #66 or 71 outta them for the privilege.

Sure. But he was on a team wit offensive stars and wasn't a primary target. Nonetheless, a very good receiver.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

How do I listen to the draft for free without downloading an app

 

[Ian]

LOL, no sound by ESPN on the McAfee broadcast. Well done, boys.

 

[VJCPatriot]

I like the way he talks. Getting some mentorship from Cam Newton and having to fight through his older brothers probably toughened him up too. Have a good feeling about this kid if Maye ends up in New England.
