    Basically traded Ridder for Cousins and got faster at WR.

    Crazy we got a better return for Ridder than the Bears got for Fields.

    Amazing how the market for Fields caved after the Mac Jones trade, maybe it was never there in the first place?

    It’s dumb. Pitts or cousins would have to buyout all the established stock of Kyle Pitts jerseys to make the change bc it’s less than a near notice. And that’s expensive even for millionaires

    I'm guessing he means highest win total odds, because we won more 11 or more a good bit with Smith and Quinn.

    Maybe if the fans bought a Pitts jersey they could get a refund but I bet that wasn't part of the issue.

    Tampering would be another hilarious thing to add to the Blank/McKay resume.

    I also noticed that Ryan left him out of his thank you speech (McKay)

    I’ve seen tweets about Nix and Penix going round 1. Hopefully we can find a trading partner and pick up more picks from one of these desperate teams

    I saw a mock where we picked Penix at 8 :blech:

    If we take a QB, I would be good with Rattler as one of the two 3rd rounders we have. Not too expensive.

    That mock must have been made in Feb and never updated it, or they were projecting a trade and didn't update the team name. Even for this regime, there is a zero percent chance they take a QB at 8 after just sinking 100 million guaranteed into another. I don't see a point of taking a QB at all this year, especially an older one like Rattler, when you've tilted such a giant part of the cap into Cousins for the next 2-3 years. Just have a decent backup and take one next year.

    I agree but Schefter wrote this today:

    One NFL general manager said he believes "there is an undercurrent of support for Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix," even though his team doesn't have a first-round grade on either. This particular general manager said he believes both Penix and Nix are Day 2 picks. Some teams disagree, and there now is speculation Penix could go as high as No. 8 to the Falcons.

    Lots of rumors around us having trading partners for the 8 pick.

    So I feel confident assuming we draft something random at 8 now.

    I keep seeing either Turner or Laitu mocked to us. I guess if you can gain some decent draft capitol, drop back a few spots, and still get one of those I don't see why you shouldn't do it.
