Victory Formation

Hell yeah!

Problem is, if we did sign Cousins, we'd be spent. Not a penny left for anyone else, that's worrisome to me. If we went after Case Keenum: 1.) Is he a 1 year wonder? 2.) Do you want to hitch your wagons to him and commit long term? Because in my mind, he is going to get a fat contract. Nick Foles would be a decent fall back option, but like Keenum, is he a flash in the pan? Do you want to give up draft picks and money to acquire him? That leaves a bunch of other mediocre options, why dump Taylor at that point? Especially for a lateral move.

Hate is a strong word, but when I think of McShay and Kiper it's one of the first words that comes to mind.

Couple good things about keeping Taylor: 1.) If we cut him and failed to land a top free agent, we would be empty handed which is a possibility because we don't have as much cap space as other teams. 2.) We aren't in a frenzy to draft a QB, the board can come to us and it will be harder for other teams to see our hand. 3.) Taylor has 1 year on his deal, perfect bridge QB. Sit the rookie down, start Taylor and let him walk after his contract expires. 4.) Cutting Taylor and signing another middle of the road QB would take up more valuable cap space for essentially the same results. 5.) If we do land a rookie QB that is showing dominant traits early on, we can trade Taylor to a team that has an injured starter or a team that failed to draft or sign a viable option in free agency. 6.) His teammates love him. 7.) We made the playoffs with Tyrod with a Swiss cheese roster, we can do it again with 4 picks in the top 2 rounds.

Steve Young did OK, John Elway did OK. I mean, I see what you're saying but the game has changed. Dual threat QBs is where the game is headed IMO.

I think Sam Darnold is a Tony Romo like prospect. Jackson is a similar prospect to Watson. Rosen I think has high bust potential. Baker Mayfield is Johnny Manziel 2.0 and Mason Rudolph is Andy Dalton.

Jackson is malleable, that's why. He has a big arm, is an electrifying runner, I like him. I think most people dislike him because of the whole 'black guys can't play QB' argument. Look past skin color, Jackson is more like Deshaun Watson than he is Geno Smith.

I'm okay with Jackson at 21 and I'm okay with Tyrod in Buffalo another year. As much as I want Cousins or Keenum, not a chance that happens, we don't have the cap room to make that happen, so why dump our starting QB?

The only thing Jackson and Taylor have in common is, they're both black and can run. Jackson is a much better passer.

I look at Foles as my oh **** option. If we go through March and then April with no resolution then I see us making a strong push for Foles. I don't see him being dealt until after the draft but I'm no Miss Chloe I'm just thinking ahead. I want Case Keenum. Want 20 a year? No problem, the market is going to explode, I'd sign him quick before Brees and Cousins sign.

I want Nick Foles or Case Keenum. I want a veteran QB, not a fan of trading up at all.

Yeah, I know. But they could both be signed really cheap. Add a guy like Taven Bryan, ease him into the lineup FT, our interior D is set.

Haloti Ngata and Kyle Williams would be nice.

Don't you have to play in the NFL for 5 years to get the 300k/yr per life pension? I hope he keeps his benefits. Only been playing for 4 years.

Not a chance.

I want Case Keenum. Draft a QB if a good one falls, otherwise load up.

That's a good strategy, Vea and Rudolph would be solid picks. We may get an additional 3rd if we lose Gaines. Could have two 2nds and two 3rds, could completely rebuild the entire roster. A young QB would fail here if we gave up everything to get him, we have too many holes. How we made the playoffs last year I have no freaking idea.

I'm not in the trade up crowd, I'm in the sit tight crowd and play the compensatory picks game. We could walk out of this draft with 4 starters and some nice depth. Rudolph and Jackson could both be there, maybe Josh Allen, we'll see.

Maybe so. I think if we sit tight we can get some really good players at 21-22 (Taven Bryan, Vita Vea, Derrius Guice, Mason Rudolph, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Christian Kirk, Courtland Sutton and Roquan Smith) The 2nd round and beyond is outside of my knowledge but at 21 and 22 there should be some really good players available.

You have to have a destination before somebody can give you directions. Who is worth the collateral to move past the Jets? Every QB not named Darnold or Rosen is a huge gamble. With 4 picks in RDS 1-2, we can do some serious damage, I'm not willing to give that away unless Darnold or Rosen fall to #3. YMMV.

Who is Rivers, Manning and Ben? Do you know? I'm not sure if I see that guy in this class.

There are other guys I'd prefer at 21 and 22. I really want Taven Bryan, Christian Kirk, Vita Vea, any of the top 5 QBs. If the board fell a certain way, I do think Guice would not disappoint.

Derrius Guice is the guy I want, watch a couple clips of him, tell me he won't be a good pro. He wouldn't just spell Shady, by the end of the year he would replace him entirely.

I think Josh Allen ends up in Buffalo, just a gut feeling. He sits most of the year behind a veteran, comes in late in the year and dominates.

Too many people are starting to catch on to Kirk, he may be there at 21 though maybe maybe he falls with a poor combine. Brown is a ninja, wouldn't mind him RD2.
