You gotta wonder if McCarthy is there at 6, would the Steelers trade up that far given he could sit behind Russ and Fields...

or do they see Fields as their QB of future?

I think they've indicated they want to extend both Russ and Fields.

But only a month ago the Steelers were saying Pickett was the starter and was getting a year three lol

Players rise and fall after the combine. It literally happens every year. 

I just mean it usually isn't a good thing, for QBs anyways. 

Trey Lance was a 3rd round pick until suddenly he was the next best thing, now he's a backup in Dallas. 

See I can understand a WRs or positional players stock going up and down before the draft because combine skills typically translate well enough for those positions.

A QB throwing at a combine or pro workout doesn't show really anything their college tape doesn't show. 

So I never understood how suddenly a QB just rises up draft boards when he's the same player he was pre and post combine. 

Sure a DB shows up and runs a 4.3 40, hey maybe he's faster than what tape shows.

A QB nails an interview, he's still the same QB as he was in college. 

McCarthy by all accounts is a second round pick who over the last few weeks is suddenly a top 10 guy? 

I don't believe it lol all the smoke screen hype.

Get used to it fellas

 

 

 

I still think it's a massive smoke screen to get some team to desperately trade with the Giants, or we are madly in love with a WR. 

Or maybe Schoen has a trade for pick #2/3 and doesn't want it to get out.

Still don't understand how a QB who was a second round guy is suddenly a top 10 pick.

But then again we seen Jones drafted. 

Also quite the change for the Steelers.

They go from Pickett, Rudolph and Trubinsky.

To a QB of Russ and Fields that only costs 4.3 million and a 6th round pick in 2026.

We have a backup QB costing us 40 million lol

I was really more comparing the Giants reaching for an average college QB with the sixth pick based on potential.   

I think all college QBs are taken on potential.

Been reading so much draft stuff recently I've dreamt about it.

The Cowboys trade for pick #1 and take Williams, while sending Dak to the Bears.

Washington shocks the world and takes Joe Alt.

NE takes Harrison.

Cardinals take Rome. 

Charges trade out to Minnesota who takes McCarthy 

Giants have a choice of Maye/Daniels.

But that's just a dream.

You know what... Joe Schoen is apparently pulling money out of thin air, I'm also signing Danielle Hunter for his two year, 48 million deal.

Hunter reportedly turned down larger deals to play in his home state where he lives and the fact that the Texans are playoff contenders. 

Sometimes it's not just $$$ 

If I was some player on the last contract of my prime I wouldn't want to look at the Giants either lol

Sure, but from a talent perspective, you're not getting a guy as talented in the 6th usually.  Guess teams just knew the Bears were over a barrel and had to get rid of him, they didn't try to sell the idea of them taking Harrison hard enough. 

I mean it's kinda hard to sell the idea of taking a WR when your QB is Justin Fields.

If Fields took a step forward this year or any year really the case could be made.

But when the "generational" prospect is sitting there and you have no QB, it's not hard to figure out what you're gonna do.

Not that hard to see why though.

The dude had every opportunity to show he was any sort of QB and has failed to do so.

Even had the final week matchup to knock the Packers out of the playoffs.

Put up a 50 QBR and 140 yards lol

For a 6th?  Jesus the bears got desperate.  

His market crashed the moment FA began lol

So much for the pundits thinking he was going for a first.

Just lining Fields and Russ up in the backfield should be fun for a few plays next year.

What a fucking crazy FA period this year, QBs are being thrown all over the place.

Think owners realized if you dont have a Mahomes/Allen/Burrow, etc you aint winning shit.

Bowser. 

Then Mario and Luigi in round 2 and 3. 

I also can't see the Giants going Penix after having to deal with the durability concerns of Jones. 

Also I don't think we'll have a choice of WRs.

Harrison will be gone and one of Nabers or Rome will be grabbed by the Charges. 

We will get whoever's left, which isn't that bad of a deal with those two. 

Much rather have Nabers in that situation. 

Just now, Sephiroth said:

I was honestly hoping we'd bring back Gates since he plays 4 positions on the line and graded out pretty well last year. It does sound like this guy improved this past year though.

41st out of 41 though... oof.

Gates played like garbage in DC though.

That leg injury of his has really took its tole.

Guess he plays center too. 

Former Viking.

Clearly Schoen getting in as much guard depth as he can. 

Guard Stinnie from the Bucs, 11 game starter.

TE Manhertz from the Broncos.

Two TEs in as many days, wonder if Waller had told the Giants he's done. 

Wonder how many people wanna play with Jones? 

lol

Kamren Curl got two years, 13 million from the Rams. 

WAY under what I thought he could get.  If I knew that was the deal he'd sign I'd have put him on my list. That's a steal. 

Who? 

We're pretty much where most teams are in terms of QB situation.

A lot if we hadn't given 30 mil to an 8 sack/ year EDGE. I know there's not a lot of good QBs this offseason in FA but Drew Lock is awful... this CAN'T be the plan.

Welcome to the rebuild, where we get shit QBs till we find the new franchise QB.

Or as I call it the post Eli era lol
