Bradley Chubb? Bust. Bolles and Jeudy haven't been worth their pick value and we just gave up the last 3 years of picks for Russell and Sean.
Why would he come here? To play with a lousy roster that has to go against Mahomes and Herbert 4X a year every year for maybe half of his career? The kid isn't stupid. He wants to be successful and yesterday had to have been a clear turn off of him wanting anything to do with this catastrophe of a once proud franchise."
Gotta say I agree

yeah and like with the NIL in place in college jumping to the NFL doesn't have the same urgency it used to. it used to be that a player took all of the risk staying in college. you could be a first round pick and you stay another year, tear your ACL and you're screwed. now with the NIL you can do Wendy's commercials. Williams is making like $3 million this year. Sure he'd make a lot more maybe in the NFL but a rookie qb is going to make like $700k in salary. $700k isn't nothing but like he could stay in college and still make enough money that he could retire after graduation and be set for life. why leave college if you're just going to request a trade in year 2
and like if you go into a bad situation and its all about money then why join a team you're going to be losing at. like i don't think Trevor Lawrence would be making as much money if Urban Meyer didn't get himself fired almost immediately. people would be calling him a bust and he'd be a backup or something. and denver's in worse shape than the jags were.
so yeah kind of agree with the caller that even if they got the #1 pick there's no guarantee they get caleb williams.
