But it also probably eliminates a landing spot for Bill if he is traded/fired.
Biggest news drops a QB to us and and this is also now where Harrison JR goes.
Dunno. They just said Daniel Jones would be with the team, not that they wouldn't draft another QB.
We should definitely pick up some players as long as the choices are right, which isn't always the case with the draft, even at the top. It's awfully hard to project the success for players and it's why I like the approach of having more picks. If the odds are 50/50 on picks and we have 12 to another team's 8, then we get 6 players and they get 4, at least in theory. We'd also get the first look at those players no matter what round they came from.
Yep, all good points. I think some people mistake the top of the draft for being 100% sure things and they clearly are not.
I think we need to hit on 2 QBs unless we find another some other way. We have none that I know of now.
Well, I think we need our Alex Smith vet QB and a rookie. If the rookie hits, then start drafting his backup?
I don't think Gronk roots for our team anymore. Doesn't sound like it. Maybe he's a Bills fan since he's from the area.
What do you think of Cousins? I hear a lot of negative things about him but I think he's pretty good and can have very good games. He doesn't seem to need much time to throw like other QBs.
Gronk is bitter. There's no doubt about it. If Brady is he's keeping it to himself. Brady was always good at telling us nothing but making it sound interesting though, so he could also be unhappy.
I think Cousins is good enough to improve your team but not enough to get you too far in the hunt. There's a reason Washington never committed to him. I'd be happy to get him as the Alex Smith until we figure out drafting a QB. But I don't want Cousins as the final answer on QB. But, to be honest, al the news from there sounds like he's going to resign with the Vikes.
One of the things that sticks out to me about Ainge the player is when he broke down in his presser after the Celts traded him. He was crushed that he was leaving. Which btw was the same reaction that Gerald Henderson had when he was traded. He could barely speak he was so broken up. Those guys were true Celtics.
Maybe, but I'd still break the existing speed record to go get him and bring him here. The Pats don't have a QB.
Agreed, the Vikings had a really good offensive line, they had great weapons in Jefferson, Hockenson and Addison. Their defense has been pretty middling this season, but not outright bad... Cousins tends to shrink in big moments, we can find better and cheaper in the draft.
It doesn't have to be somebody as expensive as Cousins, but I think a vet gives the rookie someone they have to beat out to win the job and a vet presence for them to get advice from or for the team to turn to in a pinch.
They'll need a bridge guy to acclimate a rookie QB for sure, but that guy could simply be there for camp like Brian Hoyer. I think they should play Zappe or Grier the rest of the way and bring one of them back as a bridge guy, the better of the two. That way once the rookie QB is ready, the team won't necessarily be in a big hole and the playoffs might still be in striking distance. Ideally the rookie will be ready to start day one.
Yeah, I figure it'll be someone, but I don't know who the Hoyer equivalent is now.
