I think 5 years down the road JJ has the best career out of all of them.

I'm with you on this one, I don't think it's QB either. Like you said, trade down, get some extra picks, pull some of the late round talent. I wish we could find a way to get Bowers though. Rattler would be ok, but I think I'd rather take Pratt.

Everything hinges on what Washington does at 2. Speaking of, heard on ESPN's NFL Live that there was tension between Daniels and Washington. Like he wasn't a "fit" despite his talent, just didn't get along with whoever. Of course, the next sentence was, "but that was all resolved over the weekend", so who the Hell knows.

There's just so much talent across the board this year I don't think trading away picks, future picks, is a good idea. Use them now, make a trade, maybe 2 for some more, and grab some decent players. They don't have to be superstars but it just seems like there are many guys out there who could be here for years, this year. The pundits are going batshit crazy over this year's QB class, but I just don't see 4 HOF QB's in this class. I'd like us to be in the "damn, wish we made moves like the Giants did" in future conversations for a change. And as for Manning, it's a pipe dream, but it's my pipe dream. Of course, I have hope every year and absolutely nothing has come of it, LOL, so what do I know? Can't wait for Thursday dude.

Yeah, this. Kinda. I'd like them to build the rest of the team and then blow their wad on a qb. I still hold out hope for Manning in '26.

I like that Pratt kid too. He may not be Mahomes or Stroud but I think if he's coached right he could be a mobile Eli. I wouldn't be upset moving down a few spots, picking up that extra 2nd we gave away for Burns, taking Alt or Bowers, a WR like Wilson, and Pratt in the 2nd. I think there's a lot of talent in this draft at different positions and with all our holes I think we could build something surprisingly good from the later rounds.

Yup, same here. I think it has more to do with Chicago than his talent. I think years down the road it'll be JJ who has the best career out of the bunch regardless of where he ends up initially.

Looking at that McCarthy video, I'm thinking we take Roman Wilson.

His studio background was a beach scene, but nobody could see it.

That's Copizzle for shizzle. Years ago SoCal found him on Youtube I think and invited him here. I thought he was a Cowboys fan though. I think he was trying to build some kind of mafia following like the Bills Mafia or some shit.

In that case, just wait it out and take Pratt or Rattler in the 3rd.

Yeah, I'd kinda like to trade down a few spots for an extra 2nd and maybe a 3rd if someone is really desperate. Then figure out a way to get Alt and Bowers or a 2nd round WR for Jones to throw to, and Pratt (maybe Rattler) in the 3rd. Maybe a higher end RB with the 2nd 2nd. I don't think this is our year for a franchise QB, and I don't think there are 4 franchise QB's this year either. Williams is going to be a bust in Chi Town until he is traded away like Fields (who will flourish under Tomlin after Wilson retires). In the end I think it is JJ who will be the best of the 4 come years down the road. We're not going to pay Jones $40 million to sit the year out, I don't care what the pundits cook up. We're going to have to build a line made of serious Iowa beefcake to keep him upright and avoid paying him that '25 guarantee if he gets hurt. Build up the team as a whole enough to show improvement and pull us out of the cellar, then go for the franchise QB in '26 with Arch Manning.
