Lots of good discussion on this.

My point about Rock and Banagu was that those were are 1st 2 picks last yr. So if we trade our 1st this yr for a pick next yr it would give us 2 first round picks. I dont remember the specific of us trading out of the 1st last yr but our 1st rounder last yr was basically less than Rock and Banagu.

If that makes sense.

I am guessing that with JB as the starter we would be about where we are right now . 7-9 or 8-8 ish

The top drafting teams this yr will most likely make a move for a QB this yr. Leaving us in a position to use our draft capital to move up.

Never a guarantee but you never know.

The Colts traded 2019 pick 1.26 to Washington for 2019 pick 2.46 and WSH's 2020 2nd round pick which turned into 2020 pick 2.34.


When working with the draft value charts, most teams discount draft picks in the future either by a percentage or by a round since no one knows what the order of the draft picks will be the following year.

I don't suppose anyone is still concerned about Castonzo retiring? I want him to stay. But if he does retire, doesn't a left tackle move to the top of the list?

If there is a better LT available than QB, then yes. That said, drafting for need can lead to reaching, which is not good.

I suggested we address this issue in the last draft and you gave me a bunch of shit about it.

Well, I guess second guessing after a year and the announcement of a possible retirement has made you Kreskin.

But here we are. I just thought Castonzo's decision should be part of the equation since HE suggested he might be coming back. That wasn't the issue last year.

Wasnt that hard to see last yr. and with Luck covering up all the holes we now see It made sense last yr to build for the future by using a top pick on that position

This yr it makes less sense we need a QB

I said this 20 posts ago.... draft a tackle and get a fa tackle. The price is too high for a first round qb. Even if we could trade the farm for burrow (which we cant) we would watch him get sacked 55 times as a rookie. All of us know the chorus to that song.

We need a qb a bit better than brissett, fromm is the guy in the 3rd.

Do you think Fromm can be a true franchise guy or just better than JB?

Do you magically know who will be a franchise guy? There is no automatic pick that is 100% guarantee. Every year there are QBs picked in the Top 10 that dont become Franchise guys...... on the flipside there are a lot of QBs not even picked in the first round..... that no fucking body thought they were franchise guys who went on to win Superbowls.

Ballard will have to hit on somebody obviously and I'm sure he knows Brissett isnt gonna get the job done.
