Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread

I would be happier if we traded down to the 20s in exchange for a 1st next year. Take Ridder in the second if he is still there.

They won’t have to trade up for a QB. All of these guys are about the same in different regards

There are a few teams ahead of us that could definitely be looking QB.

Carolina at 6, Falcons at 8, Broncos at 9, and with one of their two 1sts (5 and 7) you can't rule out the Giants either. We can't sit at 11 and expect to be able to take the first QB off the board. That's a huge gamble that likely won't end well.

This year is moving along even faster than normal.

FA starts a week from tomorrow. The draft isn't too far off now either.

Excited to see what the QB room looks like around May 1st.

Here's to them getting him.

I hope any team picking ahead of us lands Watson. Hell, I hope all 10 teams sign/trade for a QB by draft day.

Better for us to pick a rookie.

Carolina landing Watson would still require us to move up, but it makes it easier.

Right now we'd need to move to at least #4 (Jets) to get ahead of Carolina at #6. And we're not trading with the Giants #5.

With Carolina not needing a QB, we can potentially move up to #8 (Atlanta) to get ahead of Seattle at #9.

Even then, will Houston want to pick up a QB at #6 with Carolina's pick?

QBs are always overdrafted.

I think Mills has done enough to warrant a chance to be the franchise QB for Houston. But who knows. Especially w/ a new HC coming in.

My preference is to sit still at 11 and see what QBs are available. But I'm also not opposed to moving up if Rivera is 100% locked in on his guy.

I'm looking forward to this draft so much. I always do, but this year is especially interesting. If we play this offseason right, we are definitely competing for playoffs. And not at 7-9.

Lovie Smith is a placeholder HC and he was with the team last year, so he would likely roll with Mills. Also, Houston's GM is a Bruce Allen in the making, so hopefully he'll do something dumb as well.

Cheers to the 10 teams ahead of us being as dumb as possible.

Here is what I could find about teams trading up into top 10 to draft a QB over the last 20 years. I would consider three of these success stories.

2004-NYG move up one spot to draft Eli Manning (technically players traded not draft positions)
2009-Jets move up from 17th to #5 draft to Mark Sanchez
2012-Redskins move up #6 to #2 to draft RG3
2016-Rams trade up from #15 to #1 to draft Jared Goff
2016-Eagles trade up from #8 to #2 to draft Carson Wentz
2017-Bears trade up from #3 to #2 to draft Trubisky
2017-Chiefs trade up from #27 to #10 to draft Patrick Mahomes
2018-Jets trade up from #6 to #3 to draft Sam Darnold
2018-Bills trade up from #12 to #7 to get Josh Allen
2018-Cardinals trade up from #15 to #10 for Josh Rosen

Post Carson Wentz trade:

11. Drake London WR, USC
47. Jalen Pitre S, Baylor
111. Josh Jobe CB, Alabama
187. Cade Mays IOL, Tennessee
227. Ellis Brooks LB, Penn State
236. Nick Ford IOL, Utah

What will we do with our first and 2nd round picks ? I say we draft David Bell with our 1st round pick because he may not be there by the time we pick in the 2nd. Bell would be a great compliment to Scary Terry and a very good insurance policy if Curtis Samuel disappoints again.

That is the slowest highlight film I've ever seen.
We can get this guy in the 5th round, not the first.
