Fans will throw a shit fit if we draft an Edge rush in the first round after getting rid of our two high end edge rushers to get the draft pics in the first place

That first round pick will be a QB, unless the new coaching staff gets one in free agency.

I can't see a scenario where: Howell plays lights out, the team continues to lose, the current coaching staff gets fired, and a new coach is willing to bet on Howell as a starting QB.

Didn’t that scenario just happen? Lol. I mean they haven’t gotten fired yet but Howell played lights out and we continued to lose. Now that Sweat and Young are gone Howell could certainly play lights out and our defense is going to be giving up 40 a game. I think we are literally staring straight down the barrel of that exact scenario.

I’m gonna pull for Sam and hopefully he will be the franchise QB we have been searching for …

I wouldn't get that. You trade 2 of them, they need to be replaced somehow. And this guy we would have for at least 4 years at a way lower salary than either of what Sweat or Payne will have next season.

I want the PSU or ND OT, but they are always already gone by our pick.

i think we have decent enough replacements that we can do 2nd or 3rd round edge . . . even after the trades we still need oline, linebacker and corner far more than DE . . . and we don't even know what defensive base we will run next year, if we switch to a 3/4 does that guy even fit?

He was the best player available and at a position of need. The other guys we have are career back-ups. No way we don't add someone for 2024. Now, it might not be a 1st rounder, but that pick made sense in the draft I was in.

As a Wisconsin alum and season ticket holder, please please please say no to Jack Nelson.

He is not good at all. Feet of stone.
