This draft is very deep with WR's. As good as MHJ is, I think we can pickup a very good / seviceable WR in the second round, would rather take one of Daniels or Maye. We need a QB, team is not going anywhere until we find one. KC got Rashee Rice in round two, Seattle got Metcalfe, Tee Higegins and Michael Pittman were also picked in the second round....it can be done!

...not to mention you can also get additional WR talent in Rounds 3-6 as well. Its such a deep position, talent wise, that you can address the QB problem as well as the WR/OL issues as well.
Taking MHJ at #3 is a safe pick. No question. However I don't see it as the OPTIMAL pick when you have multiple holes to address. It all comes down to risk/reward. Locking up a stud WR at #3 is lower risk, lower reward. Going QB at #3 and addressing WR/OL in later rounds is higher risk, but also much higher reward if you end up hitting on a franchise QB for the next 10+yrs.
The key is having a scouting/player personnel team that knows what they are doing. We'll see if that's the case, soon enough.

Depends on who / what we are getting back. If a team wants to overpay for our 3rd pick, I have no issues trading it. If you look at what the Bears got from the Panthers for the number one pick last year, DJ Moore / 1st round picks in 2023 and 2024, second round picks in 2023 and 2025. That's a 5 for one trade with awesome value.
Totally agree with you
Does not matter how many picks you have....if you cannot draft quality it's a waste
We all know our draft history in the last 10 years, no need to rehash the major errors made
Let's hope we do better this year
With the cap space and picks we have, we can improve and hopefully get to 8-9 or 9-8 next year and make the playoffs the following year

I mean, if you're not completely sold on QB3, and another team overwhelms you with an offer...

Sure, but that's why I think the chances are close to zero. I think they'll be happy with any of the 3.
To put his 40 yd running time into perspective
Maye = 4.65
Jones = 4.91
Allen = 4.75
Fields = 4.45
Mahomes = 4.80
Daniels= 4.54
The fastest QB time for the 40 yard was Michael Vick at 4.33.
Allen's major strength is that he is 6'5 weighs 240 listed ( I have a feeling he might be closer to 245-250) so he tough to tackle.
Maye has good size too at 6'4 230.
I would say the better comparison is Justin Herbert, with the way Maye can throw the ball, arm strength and the ability to scramble and make pin point passes.

JJ McCarthy has some serious helium right now. His numbers when throwing on the run are better than everybody else’s, hes good throwing in the middle of the field, and he’s young (I don’t think he can drink yet, if he can it happened recently)
Ppl are starting to say top 15

I’ve seen people compare him to Mac but I don’t see it at all- better overall athlete and a better arm imo. I think his tools will translate better at the NFL level
I said all along it had to be extremely difficult evaluating him on film. Michigan was ALWAYS ahead, great running game, great defense. There was no reason for them to air it out. Even then not the greatest WRs either. Doesn't surprise me at all he is rising. Good arm, athletic, leader. A lot to like.

Bowers is the best tight end prospect in years, I don’t have a problem with that if they end up dealing for a guy like Fields or going with a veteran
What I do wanna know is what did they propose the Vikings give up to move to 3? Because the haul would have to be immense

First two episodes of The Dynasty are really good.
There's something said pretty early on that's hilariously tone-deaf considering the subject that i'm not sure if i just took it the wrong way or if others will think the same when they hear it. I'll put the spoiler mark on this to be safe but don't think it's giving anything away

If you're not sold on QB3, then trading back and taking the best offensive player on your board is a pretty sound strategy.Reading this made me annoyed as f***

Something that has shocked me the most from The Dynasty is Michael Holley used to have hair so long he needed to tie it back.

That's the Holley I remember (maybe Im aging myself). But yeah, Holley will always have long ass dreads like at the start of Around The Horn
