That's how I'm thinking, too. I think Penix is going to wind up being a solid NFL QB and will emerge as the 3rd best QB from this draft. Of the top four, I think two of the four will be studs and two will be busts, but I don't know who will go which way. I will be happy if we draft Penix and save our picks, and ecstatic if we could trade down and acquire more.MexicanHulk wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 5:34 pm:I don’t think he said anything overhyping his ability. Just that he can. For me, I hope he doesn’t run &, the skepticism continues cause, that’ll keep his stock lower. Obviously I’d want this cause, I’m pro Penix &, (since the top 4 will be gone) I’m hoping to get Penix without having to give up draft capital. Shoot, hopefully with even a trade back.

Exactly. If you get the QB right you’ll be a playoff team for the next 10-15 years. If moving up is how you get it right… who cares about a couple years without a 1st if that trade is going to make you relevant for the next decade plus.JTRaider wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 5:02 pm:I genuinely wish our GM and QB liked a rookie that much. Go get him if so.
You get 2 full years of saving a ton of cap (Even Fields got two years) which improves the team and if it fails (Like the Bears) you get to swing high again.
Screw the .500 status quo. I have no idea if this kid will be good, but all we need is somebody worth 4 years to find out.
We fielded a decent team with two terrible front offices, missing 2 firsts won't break this team if Telesco is competent.
I just don't think that pick is for sale.

I would rather we trade for a first and second next year then roll the dice on the '5th best QB on their big board'.raiders93 wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:39 pm:Exactly.

But also to your point - the talk of the pats trading down seems like wishful thinking at this point.

I did a deep dive into the history of the draft looking at the QB position in particular and became away from it wary of making a huge move that would include several firsts and seconds. My stance has not changed.chucker » Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:28 am
I guess Penix saw my post:chucker wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 4:00 pm:IMO Penix is more athletic and mobile than he gets credit for. But if you're gonna tweet this out, you should probably run a 40 and do a 3 cone at the pro day tomorrow.

If Penix impresses in the meetings take him at 13SkullCrusher » Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:22 pm
I think it is easily our biggest need, because until you have the guy you don't and every recurring playoff team needs that guy. But yeah it might not be in the card to draft one of the top one's this year.signal wrote Thu Mar 28, 2024 5:45 am:But I do think I may be alone or in a small minority on this board and do not even see the QB position right now as the biggest need for this team at this very moment.

I really don't want Penix now. Already too concerned with online narratives and tweeting.RI RAIDER » Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:36 pm
I am not saying I do not want Penix or a QB. I just hope whoever we take, that we hit a home run (or at least a double). I want this new administration to change the momentum of this franchise and instill some confidence and competence. I think we deserve some good football and W's (especially younger fans who were not able to witness and enjoy our ass stomping years)
