    TMac would be fun there but I think he goes top 5 pretty easily

    Tennessee - Cam Ward
    Cleveland - Mason Graham
    New York G - Shadeur Sanders i guess but i don't see it personally
    New England - Abdul Carter
    Jacksonville - Travis Hunter
    Las Vegas - Will Johnson
    New York J - Deone Walker
    Carolina - Teteiroa McMillan
    New Orleans - Will Campbell
    Chicago - Kelvin Banks

    idk. seems like a lot of these teams have garbage rosters overall and probably should just build through the lines.

    Giants should just pick 2-3 QB since Schoen and Daboll are going to get fired next year anyway. Maybe you get lucky vs drafting more terrible OL or special teams LB.

    I love Will Johnson and always will for what he did for my team. He's one of the best playmakers at CB that I can remember at UM. I've been kind of shocked that people have viewed him as a top 5 pick throughout the last six months and I'll be a little surprised if he sticks in the top 10 by draft night. I'm not sure how well he'll test (if he does at all).

    Titans should pass on the qb if they don’t deem them good enough. But they won’t can’t because if one becomes good they will never live it down and two their coach and GM can’t survive another year (right or wrong) of sucking without having a new guy showing promise.

    wasn't Sam Howell like a 5th or 6th round pick?

    I just can't wrap my head giving Daboll and Schoen the chance to draft and coach these guys when they're on the hot seat. Chicago literally just showed everyone why that's a shitty idea and the Giants are like "You know what we want to do what they just did".

    The owners running these teams are absolute morons.

    Yep Howell wasn't a reach at all. Everyone know he was a project and he's turned out to be a career backup which is what you'd expect from a guy like that

    Do the raiders have an assets or cap space to potentially get Darnold or McCarthy?

    One season is not enough of a sample size... I think age is a factor but maybe not as much with the QB position. Time will tell on all the 2024 QBs.

    it was your first comment about Ward. just don't see the value in caring about whether a QB is 22 or 24 during the draft process. The person either has the tools or they don't.

    If I had to take one of these QBs it would definitely be Ward for those reasons. His quick release, accuracy and ability to improvise at least give you a line of sight to success

    Burrow. The age on QB has been trending older for a little while now. Makes for a safer draft pick to get a guy with a bunch of CFB starts.

    of course older QBs look better early in their careers when NFL teams have zero patience.

    Titans should trade back if possible and try to maximize ability to fill roster holes. Rumors are we are high on Cam Ward, but hopefully that’s just trying to get another team to trade up.

    Anything but defense for the Panthers is crazy imo. We just gave up the most points ever and are devoid of any talent or depth at nearly every position

    Is the Shrine Bowl a big deal again? Because this seems like a bigger name than normal going there. Especially for an underclassman.
