Victory Formation

1.) EJ Gaines, CB (Buffalo) 2.) Teddy Bridgewater, QB (Minnesota) 3.) John Brown, WR (Arizona)

I love Kyle Lauletta in the 2nd round. I'd actually rather not go QB RD1. I like the idea of burning a 2nd on Lauletta and bringing Fitzpatrick back for a year to mentor him.

Man, too bad Quenton Nelson is a top 10 lock, he is a future HOFer, he is my favorite player in the draft. I think Connor Williams is going to be an All Pro RT as well. If Cordy Glenn is traded, Dawkins and Connor Williams would make for a disgusting OL.

If Denver lands Cousins, if the Giants take Barkley and Rosen is sitting there at 5, I could see a big trade. If we stay put, my top 22 gets really confusing for me. I know we need a QB, but if it comes down to Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph, do we want to hitch our wagon to a very questionable prospect? Chances are, if you take a QB in the first, your HC and GM will live by that pick and die by that pick as is the nature of 1st round QBs. Now if one of those guys fell to RD2? It's not a tremendous commitment to them and we can move on quick.

We own 21 and 22 overall. I'm just trying to get a feel for who fans want. (You can play along too.)

Yeah. I'm just curious what your top 22 draft board would look like. I know it's a loaded question, I'm just curious, I understand if you don't have the time to answer, but just off the top of your head, what do you think?

Virgil, what does your top 22 list look like?

We're like fish at the bottom of the ocean waiting for leftovers to sink down to us. We don't know what we're going to be eating, but something is going to drop.

I'm luke warm on the QBs this year. I like Jackson, Rudolph and Lauletta, but I don't love them. I don't think we should spend a 1st on QB because there are too many can't miss prospects at 21 & 22. If we go QB in RD2, we can move on from them in 1 year. Spending a 1st on a QB likely means McD's wagon is hitched to that prospect and I think that could be dangerous. Sure, there's some solid characteristics I like about them, but nobody I'd go all in on.

If Andy Levitre and Nick Mangold had a baby.

Wouldn't even give a 7th for him. I think we can easily find a better player in rounds 3-7 in the draft.

I think Kyle Lauletta can be coached up. I'd love him in the 2nd round, seems like he has pretty good upside. Could be a solid pick, especially if we signed Fitzpatrick or McCown to mentor him for a year.

We'll see if it helps. Sounds like he is psychotic, bipolar maybe? Only so much they can do. Going to be a lifelong battle I'm afraid.

I think Manziel needs to go to the CFL and develop for a few years, the NFL is probably too much for him at this point.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail. Has anybody here never been the butt of jokes? I have. But I've also viciously teased people in the past (all of which I apologized profusely for later in life). It's just the way it goes, euphoria doesn't last forever, neither does depression.

1.) Mason Rudolph, QB, OSU 1.) Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia 2.) Taven Bryan, DT, Florida 2.) Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame

Hope we stick to the blue chip players, I don't want flashy free agents, just tough hombres that buy into the process. Let the divas go to Dallas and New York while we scoop up the guys that have been looked over with chips on their shoulders.

Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson, I don't care how risky it is, if either one of them falls to 21, take a stab, just don't trade up for one and I'm cool with it.

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.
