Bonus Clip: The play-action where Alex's arm gets hit, was most likely a TD.

I don't put that last one on Smith. The first clip was bad though he's a pussy.

This is the best strategy considering the wealth of picks we have, the overall strength of the roster (we can afford to trade a 1st) and the depth and top-end talent that will be coming out in 2018.
Sam Darnold, USC Josh Rosen, UCLA Lamar Jackson, Louisville Josh Allen, Wyoming Mason Rudolph, OKState Jake Browning, Washington There's a lot to like there. You might have a Manning-Rivers-Roethlisberger situation out of that group. And as an added bonus, ditching Smith's $20M cap hit in 2018 and replacing it with a rookie QB contract will allow you to spend more money on the re-ups that will be due players going into their second contracts. God knows what Peters is going to want. |

Mahomes the kid is a Russell Wilson type with a Colin Kaepernick arm.

I think we should let Dorsey pick the QB. CP has a very poor record on QB selection.

Then if you end up with a bunch of picks and can't get the move done for a QB - presuming your guy is there - then you are stuck with picks and spending those resources on lower impact players. That strategy carries a lot of risk. If there is a guy you think you can make work, you do it. The age of sure fire QBs is over. I'd probably say Peyton Manning was the last one. Maybe Luck but he's floundering in the worst division in football (not necessarily all his fault). If there is a guy you can work with, get him. You need a guy that can do the following: 1. Take the easy stuff. 2. Make a handful of difficult throws a game. Other than Rodgers who is doing ridiculous things with a criminally bad supporting cast. That's all these guys are doing. They aren't throwing it into tight windows 45 times a game. They take the easy stuff, which Reid can scheme for, and then they have to press in some bad situations. If a guy can make the correct reads and accurately navigate a few bad situations, he can be successful. We don't need an all world guy, just a competent one. |

We'll see people didn't think said player would succeed either.

Someone compared Mahomes to Culpepper last week. I could see that

Culpepper's like Ben in that he's an impossible comparison to make unless you're also built like a linebacker.
Culpepper would just stand there with fur flying around him, look over the line, bounce a blitzer off him and wing it downfield. Mahomes won't be able to do that. Eh, still pretty bummed that Falk and Rudolph stayed. Not even because I really wanted either of them but because it would've made the class much deeper. Allen would have as well. Get Falk, Rudolph and Allen in there and there would have been at least a team or two that would've fallen in love with them and perhaps pushed another guy down. In this class I really only see Kizer, Trubisky and Mahomes as potential franchise guys with Watson just being way too raw for my tastes (though he may fit with what Andy likes due to his mobility). The class falls to absolute shit after those 3 (with an asterisk at 4; shit for many, might fit for some). That's going to make the odds of a reasonable trade-up pretty long. Those top 3 could all easily be gone by 10 and I'm not inclined to pay a premium to move up to 20 for Watson. So just restructure Foles and come to the table ready to move next year.
