JJM on my humble board has moved up to 3B with Daniels as 3A… he really wasn’t asked to do much because Harbaugh was always a pound and ground type of coach with a great defense. But McArthy was able to do more when asked and looks like all the tools are there. I know it’s lying season but the Giants owner threw their name in the hat for drafting a QB as well.DanKD » Tue Mar 26, 2024 2:02 pm
Yep. I remember some mocks had Willis rising up to s high 1st rounder too. We will see what happens. I do like having someone very experienced to help the team nagivate the scenarios that could play out.chucker wrote Tue Mar 26, 2024 1:34 pm:There were rumors of Levis at 2 to the Texans shortly before the draft last year.

Definitely a grain of salt. The boards I watched had him going right around the middle of the first.chucker wrote Tue Mar 26, 2024 1:34 pm:There were rumors of Levis at 2 to the Texans shortly before the draft last year. I take it all with a grain of salt.

Exactly. Something could happen on draft day that drops one of the three favorites down the board. All this McCarthy talk could be a league-wide smokescreen. Not an intentional one, but one that has every QB needy team talking him up in order to avoid talking about their real intentions.chucker wrote Tue Mar 26, 2024 1:34 pm:There were rumors of Levis at 2 to the Texans shortly before the draft last year.

The JJ stuff definitely seems like it could very well be a case of disinformation. The teams picking 5-8 stand to gain quite a bit if someone moves up for him. Maybe one of the top receivers gets pushed down to you. Maybe you’re getting offers that include additional 1sts because of the QB PREMIUM even though it’s not a top 3 pick nor a far move.Opoponax50 wrote Tue Mar 26, 2024 10:44 pm:Exactly.

I could see Nix or Penix falling to the 2nd quite easily. Not because I think they're bad, but because both are reminiscent of the Levis talk last year. Also, there are going to be some DEs and OTs available if the draft goes how it's projected, which means even QB needy teams may just wait until the 2nd or even 3rd to get their guy.

Man that would have been amazing for the Raiders as maybe they end up with Gonzalez or Wright instead. Wilson isn’t a certified bust yet but they got nothing out of the pick in 2023 and he needs to ramp things up in season two or it’s looking like another Ferrell-like miss.

I don't equate these picks at all.heavyD wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:41 am:Man that would have been amazing for the Raiders as maybe they end up with Gonzalez or Wright instead.

I was at that draft, on the stage surrounded by 25 other fans of the team. I was the only one who knew anything about the guy and that was because of this place and him being talked about a bit. To say they were not happy was an understatement.signal wrote Wed Mar 27, 2024 10:52 am:I don't equate these picks at all.
The entire football world expected Wilson to go early.
No one but a couple of knuckleheads thought Ferrell would go in the top ten. It was a complete shock to every Raider fan when the pick was announced.

I am getting the exact same vibes with Pierce and Daniels. We will trade every pick to get him
