status quo on a 4 win team isn't exactly exciting.ya think?
We are not even 4 hours into the first free agency of a rebuild.
As happens every year, some want us to sign several overpriced Day 1 signees.
We have quietly re-signed all of our free agents that we wanted and have replaced the rest. In addition, we added our starting QB for 2024.
======
And, yes, we still have $50M in cap room and almost all the OT still available, and lots, lots more at other positions.
I still expect us to sign or trade for a LT, a S, a WR, and a STer.
=====
I expect that the early draft will be the most predictable in years: a QB, an OT or two and a WR.
Get with the Times upcoming Draft is the Best for WR's in years gotta Triple Dip now.They should focus on qb and lt in this draft. Wr will have to wait till next year.
Otherwise trade back, get Joe alt and then make decisions based on talent for wr and qb with the next 2 picks.
I understand.status quo on a 4 win team isn't exactly exciting.
Oh **** offya think?

This is not an unreasonable plan if we aren't sold that the QB available at 3 is a franchise QB.There is no mystery I have been clamoring for a WR for years. I would Trade #3 for a haul go WR First on Offense then a second tier QB like Nix or Pennix Jr. We need to develop WR now
MH Jr.This is not an unreasonable plan if we aren't sold that the QB available at 3 is a franchise QB.

BASICALLY, for me, there is three questions.
QUESTION ONE
Who is available at 3?
QUESTION TWO
How far are we willing to risk trading down? This depends on which QB's we want and when we expect them to be drafted. Some would say don't trade down if our choice is McCarthy, since he could very well get picked at 5 or 6. If we are OK with Nix and also Penix, it might be OL to trade down as far as 10.
QUESTION THREE
Is the compensation worth the risk.
I could certainly see us being OK with Nix or Penix and trading down to 10. And yes, the extra pick or two could be welll used at WR or OT.
Why should we be patient? We haven't won a playoff game in half a decade. Last I checked this wasn't the Cardinals.The lack of freakin' patience by some of the fan base is mind numbing.
LOL, no - it's a bad football team, horribly devoid of talent in a free agent market that isn't necessarily deep at positions of need, while also trying to lure guys here after finishing at the bottom of the league without a true #1 quarterback, and a coach without a resume.Why should we be patient? We haven't won a playoff game in half a decade. Last I checked this wasn't the Cardinals.

There are going to have to hit on a LT and a franchise QB while maintaining a top 10 D to reach those goals. Im thinking they have to pay over market prices to attract top tier FAs and I don't know if these guys will do that.My hope is this:
24’ Notable improvement in play, start playing the really good teams much tougher, win 7-8 games
25’ 10-7 11/6 Get into the playoffs, hopefully win a game
26’ Become an actual contender, win the division, be a team the others don’t want to face.
Can they accomplish those goals? Yes.
Will they accomplish those goals? We will see?
Drafting well is becoming even more important to get these guys on rookie deals instead of these insane free agents signings for mediocre playersIt's going to be a long long rebuild. And people just don't have the patience for it.
If this was Draft Day and they, say, picked all defensive players, I could see getting irritated. It's March 13th 2024. This rebuild is going to take a 2-3 years at least and that's if they knock every roster decision out of the park.
Relax. Take a couple of deep breaths and buckle in. It's going to be a long ride.
Kind of like the Celtics. You gotta draft well. Not many players are gonna come here willinglyThere are going to have to hit on a LT and a franchise QB while maintaining a top 10 D to reach those goals.
