Thread: Worst Case Scenario

Assuming we stay at 9, what is your worst case scenario regarding the first 8 picks.

Mine is as follows:
Lawrence, Wilson and Fields go.
Sewell and Slater are gone.
The TE is gone.
Parsons is gone.
Horn is gone.

That leaves any stud WR, a project QB or Surtain. I could still live with that.

between lance, jones, and chase, somebody is gonna trade up there. . . i honestly don't even have one this year, if we're just talking about the first eight picks and what kind of situation it would leave us in. . . as far as feasible worst case at nine, it'd be taking mac jones with somebody like sewell still on the board. . .

I guess the only position I wouldn’t be too stoked about at 9 is CB. Not that there isn’t talent there and I’d be happy with Surtain or Horn, but we just spent a bunch in FA to get a couple good CBs.

I guess my worst case scenario would be trading back out of the top ten and not getting at least an additional 1st rounder next year. I’m not a fan of trading back for extra picks, especially out of the top ten, unless we can really get a good haul for it. Missing out on a top talent like Parsons or Sewell or Surtain is t worth picking up an extra second or third round pick to me. I know Paton likes the “more darts” philosophy, but not particularly being good at darts myself, I’d rather just make the ones I have count than do the “spray and pray” method.

Hey, if all the so called “experts” are right about him, he’s super smart, super accurate, can manipulate the pocket, and will be the next Thom Brady! Or so they all say, even though at season’s end he was a “Dont select on the first day” guy.

Perhaps if rumors are true, and Paton really is big on character, Jones won’t even be on our radar. I mean, he does have 2 DUIs.

I think the concern at CB is...Callahan and Darby have injury histories...OJ wasn't impressive last year (I still say he should transition to safety)...Bassey had a big injury...Fuller is 30 and on a one year deal. So...having a young shutdown guy that can groom this year and take over completely in '22 wouldn't be a bad idea. Especially with Fuller and Callahan also being free agents.

I recently read an article where two NFL execs said they wouldn't draft Jones based on the DUI's alone. Then especially when they add in his "limited skills".

I think they were more along the lines of personnel guys, but yeah...hoping one of them donned orange and blue.

F Jones he can go fly a kite with Flacco.

Regardless of how you feel about the Top 5 QB prospects, I just can't get past the feeling that Drew Lock is Jay Cutler lite and will never be the guy... Therefore I would be happy to take a crack at any of the QB prospects. It's an inexact science, so I wouldn't mind gambling.

Horn or Surtain will be defensive cornerstones for years to come. Parsons would be plug and play. Elite tackles are hard to come by, so I could live with Sewell or Slater.

I just don't see how you screw this pick up unless you pull some crazy Dave Gettleman Daniel Jones type of move.

I know the consensus is that the top two tackles are Sewell and Slater...and rightfully so...but I'd put money on Darrisaw, with tutelage from Munchack, being the best tackle to come out of this draft. He's not where Sewell and Slater are today, but I think his potential is greater.

I guess if we took a WR in the 1st - that's worst case scenario.

This might just be my best case scenario because of how entertained I'll be by the meltdown.

Drafting CB is still a priority, imo, they have two CB’s under contract beyond this season. CB is also a lot like QB, in that, you usually won’t get the elite prospect unless you’re in the lottery ... so maybe you take that player now while you’re in position.
