TheChirurgeon posted:But either way, I think it's bad to spend a bunch of picks to get your QB regardless of where you are in the process. It leaves you hamstrung when you try to build around him, even if your team wasn't in a bad spot before. Suddenly you're missing out on the ability to add 3-6 of college football's most promising prospects to your team at bargain rates. I agree with you that the team should build a good place for the QB first, but it's also situational--who's available when you have a chance and what you have to give up. I generally think you're better off putting a slightly worse prospect on a strong team than to put a better prospect on a worse team (emphasis: slightly). If a team doesn't have a franchise QB and they have the opportunity to gamble on one, they absolutely should trade up. A good quarterback will be on that team for nearly two decades. There's plenty of time to build a team around them. Because of their unique value and longevity, quarterbacks are the only position where a big trade up is justified. With that said, there are clearly levels of appropriateness. What Chicago pulled was just awful because: TheChirurgeon posted:the funny thing is that even if Trubisky is good, it will still have been a bad, dumb idiot move because the alternative to making the trade to get Trubisky was not making the trade and still getting Trubisky

SHOAH NUFF posted:I feel the same way about the Mahomes trade up. Giving up 2 firsts is crazy and dumb, but if Reid/Dorsey love him that much maybe see what happens. it's just sports and entertainment at the end of the day and Mahomes will certainly be more entertaining than our current QB Yeah. Mahomes seems like a risky prospect but if anybody can develop a QB it's Reid.

TheChirurgeon posted:The problem is that history doesn't validate this--teams that trade up to get a QB haven't been successful historically. What? I stated that Chicago trading up for Trubisky is dumb. But trading up for QB's is absolutely the right thing to do. The problem is it has to be for a decent prospect instead of just drafting whatever QB happens to be there. We live in a world where Tebow went in the first. Teams get greedy with any quarterback prospect.

I still can't believe Tebow went in the first.

Being skeptical of Cable is wise, but if Pocic is even "bad" as a rookie it is still an improvement over "terrible". Plus their first round RT is likely to see some improvement. They added several new players whether fresh young kids or bargain bin FA, but they added enough players that it seems unlikely to be worse than last year's absolute tire fire.

Durandal1707 posted:I feel like you can say this about pretty much any team the Chargers have had since 2006 though. The Chargers are a weird team to predict because of the injuries and age extremes. If they didn't have to compete with Oakland and KC I think a wildcard wouldn't be out of the question.

The offense has not been great for the Seattle, and for sure that would get annoying for a legendary defense, but it seems weird to blame it on Wilson. The Seahawks spend all of their non-qb salary cap on the defense, so of course it's going to be better than the offense. And Wilson isn't perfect, but the many 3-and-outs aren't because of him, but because of SeahawksOL.gif OTOH I love angry and crazy Sherman so it's all good.

SKULL.GIF posted:I imagine elite defensive players are good at evaluating exactly which offensive players are the weak links. Clearly not the case in this situation. Wilson = very good, OL = very bad. Outside of Wilson and I guess Jimmy Graham, the offense is a bunch of JAG's. This sounds like poor reporting.
