36-32 Brady over Studman and 1st round QB(I combined the votes on the first round QB)chucker » Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:53 am
I want a first round QB....... regardless of who is actually starting. I picked Stidham, but I'd even be ok with Brady. My issue with Brady is that if we add Brady I want to plan to be the same as if we had Stidham - build a team for the long term. I worry that Brady would lead to short term thinking on the supporting cast. I cringe whenever someone says that if we sign Brady we can't draft a development QB at 7 because we need an immediate contributor at 7.HesterLayes wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:44 am:36-32 Brady over Studman and 1st round QB(I combined the votes on the first round QB)

You're the GM.... would you draft a QB at 7 if you sign Brady?HesterLayes wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:57 am:I see your point.
I see a pretty young team overall with a few older pieces on offense(Adams/Waller).
My thinking is that we are going to be young as shit next year with all of the picks and holes on defense and guard.
I really don’t think adding Tom is going to change their building plan.
I believe you can have both.An elite savvy vet and an overall young team.

No way I go QB at 7 if we get Brady.Get ya an instant impact starter.chucker wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:02 pm:You're the GM.... would you draft a QB at 7 if you sign Brady?
Do you think McZieg would draft a QB at 7 if they signed Brady?
I don't want to delay the future. I watch other teams with their franchise QBs and I'm jealous. And yes, I know, whatever QB we draft at 7 is more likely to be a bust than elite.

Draft the shit out of D and keep the current pieces on offense.It’s enough to win.HesterLayes » Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:07 pm
I guess I’m not seeing what you guys are pointing out as far as what Brady will want/need.signal wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:04 pm:But is that what Brady wants?
I just think the needs that Brady has is in conflict with the Raider needs.
The Raiders need to go cheap at QB and work on getting this roster better. Brady is going to cost money and do think he shifts the focus to short term success at the expense of sustainable success.
The more I think about it, the more and more the marriage between Brady and the Raiders makes less and less sense.

Agreed. I think Hooker is being severely overlooked because of his age, the system he's in, and because of Hyatt. One of the cases of "yeah he played great in college, but it won't translate to the NFL."rcraider wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 4:10 am:I like both of those guys, I think Hooker will end up being a bargain because of the injury, he’ll have to sit a year but would be a good one to develop

I want the presumed future QB on the roster. A drafted QB learning behind Brady would be awesome. I'm willing to give up the 7th overall to do that and forego the guaranteed 2023 impact starter that we definitely would have had with that pick.HesterLayes wrote Fri Jan 27, 2023 12:15 pm:Guy had 40 tds last couple years before the shot show he dealt with this year.
I’m telling ya..we can have both.A killer at QB and a young building team.
I want to see the in KC in December when it’s cold AF with the division on the line.
