There's also reports that the Broncos are planning something big at the top of the draft. I can't dream up a scenario that gets us into the top 3, we don't have the capital. My guess is it's more about a move up to the 7-10 range for Bo Nix. I think We can basically look at this draft as starting from pick 3, the top 3 QBs are all but locked in at those spots, so Nix is going to shoot up draft boards as QB 4 but essentially QB1 for the 29 teams in the draft. That's how I'm thinking about it. I really think Nix is going to shoot up boards. He's going to look very good in workouts and do extremely well in interviews.

Just my crazy way too early draft thoughts.

I will be sick to my stomach if we draft Nix earlier than the 4th round. I’ve watched close to half a dozen of his games between Auburn and Oregon.

Marginal physical talent across the board, I’ll pass. If they can’t land a 1st round QB prospect then they have no business drafting a QB.

My guess is every Sean Payton in the NFL is looking for the next Brock Purdy.

Sounds like a good time to find other interests.

Yeah but PFF says he “fits the system”, and every Sean Payton in the NFL is looking for their Brock Purdy.

and we will yet again Ignore edge, ILB, and the OL and DL lines as usual. I mean who doesn't love their CB's and safeties that don't see the field and their TE's that can't play on run downs or stay healthy.....

I urge everyone to look at our cap outlook for next year and understand how rough 2024 truly is, and how bad of a hole we were put into. If Russ is designated June 1st cut the dead cap is 35.4 mil, we also have dead cap of 11 mil for Gregory, Clark and McManus. 4 players costing us 46 mil in dead cap alone....

This team is going to get some 3rd and 4th tier FA's and 6 draft picks. Our QB is going to be Stidham vs a rookie 3rd rd. Qb or lower and probably Dinucci come to think of it. Just accept 2024 is going to be rough at QB no matter what SP and the FO try to sell you. Only way we compete next year is if SP and staff do one of the best coaching jobs of his career, and we finally get some ROI on our draft picks and FA's Paton acquired last few years.....I won't hold my breath to be honest.

Payton likes quarterbacks who are accurate. When he was in Harsins system he didn’t look accurate, at least not on the NFL level. Oregon has been making quarterbacks look elite for over a decade. Teams have to focus on stopping their running game and it leaves receivers wide open.

The bummer thing is that this would be a great year to be drafting at 12 and not needing a QB. Because the top three are all most likely going to be QB a bunch of good talent will still be available at 12. There's going to be a run on QB and WR early in this draft and some extremely good edge talent and CB talent will fall. Could you imagine how nice it would be to have the luxury of drafting another lockdown CB to pair with PS2 or if Bowers somehow fell to 12 and we could nab ab almost sure thing decade long top end of the league TE. Or grab a Dallas Turner.

It's kinda shaping up to be a shit show of horrible timing.

Somebody had to say it.

My man!

Draft BPA and stick with Stidham, we can drop Russ and find some other journeyman backup

Unless one of the top three falls to us (they won't), this is the way.

No. That's how we end up picking 8-15 again next season and the trend continues as we watch the GOAT ass-rape us twice a season for the next decade. If we draft BPA I hope it comes with signing Baker or Kirk or something, which I don't see because of our cap sitch. We either swing big, trade the farm for a generational guy if you think one of these guys is generational. Or, you draft the guy you think can be a FQB of the guys left at 12 or trade back gain some draft capital and draft a developmental type QB.

Another out of the box idea might be to trade the #12 pick for 2025 draft capital, (preferably from a team who we think is going to suck something fierce). And set ourselves up for a run at a top QB in the next draft.

To me drafting BPA and rolling with Stidham is essentially throwing in the towel and will result in another year of the same.

Maybe we can trade our first to the Bears…

BPA + Stidham is a 1 year commitment. Drafting a "developmental type" QB will likely leave us with a 2-3 year commitment. Either get a top guy or wait a year until we have the draft capital/player capital to get a top guy.

Never trust anyone who's left handed.

By developmental QB I'm referring to a 3rd rnd or later type. That type of QB is not a commitment of any years if you end up with a high first and a true FQB prospect is there for the taking. I have been of the opinion that unless your team has a FQB you should draft a QB in the draft every year, even if it's just throwing a 7th rnd pick at a D2 guy or something. If you don't have a QB you don't really have a chance.
