You don't see any reason? I mean it's possible but there's reasons he could go before 12. Even if you're scenario holds true perfectly there's the dolphins and trade up possibilities.

I can imagine a scenario where McDermott working with a GM he had to know was gone the moment the draft was over - had a difficult time making such a critical decision with that situation in place. It's rumored we were interested in Trubisky but I think McDermott probably felt this needs to be a team decision and opted to trade the pick.

I just think it's way to early to say this after 7 games. I believe after year three is when you can look at hindsight.

It's definitely close. I don't think Mahomes the prospect is as good as Darnold or Rosen but he's, IMO, at the Allen and Mayfield level. Some question marks as they have but physically as talented. Again, as a prospect he's a tick ahead of Rudolph and Jackson.

This is how they get themselves into trouble.

Why? Rosen is a legit prospect.

Pretty darn interesting interview.

That's funny man. I get what you did there.

So you'd like more choices at rounds where the percentage of them being a good player substantially goes down? Then you profess we'll definitely get an OT, G, LB, WR, CB and starting QB? In case you're still wondering, this post is pretty absurd.

You're an amazing talent. Be honest, did someone help you with this?

What if Beane decimated the offensive line so that McDermott's defense would not be good enough to overcome - so he could fire McDermott?

It's not the only thing, it's the most important thing.

One of the best movies ever. I hardly ever watch movies more than once and I've see it 10+ times.

I love the idea of going for singles and doubles - then leave them stranded. Great way to win games.

Whaley had a plan. I think what you're seeing is the GM and head coach on the same page and getting along. That, to me, is the difference. Whaley seemed to always be at odds with the coaching staff.

Based on history there will be a guy drafted after the first 4 that will be better than a couple of them. I think Rudolph is the type of QB that has a chance.

He's a good sized guy next to Rodgers. Strong legs. I agree he could gain some upper body strength but that could come.

What don't you understand about the numbers are not nothing? Haha

Smart analysis.

Still has to be said.

Good post. I like three but I agree, we don't have enough information. Hope they just get it correct.

They don't want Mayfield, IMO.

Calm down, what's with the sensitivity? Pretty childish. We were having a discussion.

That doesn't tell the whole story. Tony Blackledge was drafted 7 spots before Kelly and Tony Eason 12 spots before Marino and Ken O'brien 3 spots before Marino. The point is QB's never pan out in the order they were drafted. The likelihood of more than one QB drafted lower than one or more will turn out better. There's a big element of luck involved but it's precisely why the premise of liking several the same (said by OP) is foolish and also why if they decide to go with Rudolph for example - fans should understand a QB or two will be better than their draft order. We fans have opinion but know very very little. No choice but to hope they get it right and not get all nuts if it's not what we individually want.
