Say we had the first overall pick in this year's draft

Anakim : 1/25/2023 5:45 pm
Would you want Jalen Carter, Will Anderson Jr., a QB, or a trade-down?
Assuming we sign Jones..

Or we acquired the Bears first-rounder in 2023 instead of in 2022 ;)
I'd take Bryce Young  
Eric on Li : 1/25/2023 5:59 pm : link
then trade Jones for multiple day 2 picks (who knows maybe even a first at this point).

i think Young is going to be a super star day 1 and you get 5 years of control.

if Jones gets you a few top 50 picks you get those plus about 200m saved over the next 5 years.

Does Bryce Young's size concern you at all? I like the player so far, based on what I have seen, but size is a bit of a worry for me.
Can you imagine a 3 man defensive front of Dex, Leo and Jalen Carter

How would you trade Jones? NEFT him first?

Will Anderson is a nice piece but not like a QB who could be the goods at the NFL level after a few NYC pasta dinners.
Sign me up for Anderson

I’d consider dropping down a spot or two but only with a contractual agreements the Anderson was off limits.

mfjmfj : 1/25/2023 6:48 pm : link
trade him for something and take a QB, assuming the coaches believe there is a QB they want. I am also OK with this strategy if they think they can trade up this year and get the right guy - Anthony Richardson in the mid-teens if he lasts that long?

If we don't get a deal done with Daniel soon, I would FT tag him and try again after the draft.
1st pick based on this season

Bears have the most interesting choice at #1. If they take Young, they may get a pretty good trade package for Fields.

In which case, they could possibly accelerate the rebuild.

(I love Fields, btw)

health concerns me with every player in the nfl. bryce young included. but that's the price of doing business in the nfl.

i expect him to weigh in very similarly to russell wilson at the combine and he's had very good fortune health wise.

yes. Derek Carr costs about $33m for a trading team. I think there's a good case that Jones should have more value on the open market than carr because he's 6 years younger.

i think carr will definitely bring back at least 1 second round pick and it wouldn't shock me if he brings back multiple or a 1st.

i honestly think there's a fringe chance some teams sniff around him at the 2 FRP price.

if i were the jets i think id do that over giving up a 1st for carr. washington and carolina could each make sense too.

Yeah, for instance Atlanta, who could be on the outside looking in for their future QB.

the UGA defense last year was bigger/faster than most NFL teams and he lit them up with his real WRs and still gave them problems without his real WRs. So I have no concerns with his size holding him back from succeeding.

Whether or not it makes him more susceptible to injury who knows? Russell Wilson was 204 at the combine and he's been an iron man. Kyler was 207 and most of his injuries have come because running is a big part of his effectiveness. Young runs less than both (and a lot less than lamar, fields, allen, jones, etc). is it less risky to be bigger if you're also taking 5+ extra hits running every game?

He has issues with the pass rush and doesn't see the field well IMHO. Has bust written all over him

Think this is the real truism despite position. All GMs miss. And even bad ones get lucky. The great ones though find talent all over the draft consistently.

It sure concerns me. I never thought too much about size, always thought more about heart (aka Flutey). But tbh, after seeing Az draft Murray (who seemed all everything in college) and thinking he'd set the world on fire, it is clear how much size impacts the game.

I don't see many non Giant games, so I'm curious about QB size as well. Offensive linemen are HUGE and being shorter than them, really has an impact on your view.

Exactly.
I wouldn't let the Jones re-signing debate sway me  
djm : 1/27/2023 4:24 pm : link
assuming Jones was re-signed, I would have Jones rated as a solid starter with room to grow. If I saw a QB that had a better skill set and overall future I would probably just take the QB and let him push Jones for the starter role.

If I saw another player (Anderson) that was too good to pass up I would probably just take Anderson. No combine yet...kind of hard to say. Gun to head probably just take Anderson but I wouldn't ignore the QB prospects.
