This is a deep enough WR class, to where, it's possible a team or two is finding another Puka Nacua or Amon St. Brown outside of RD1 next weekend. I just cannot get onboard with trading up for one of the top three to four. The odds are in our favor that Brian Thomas Jr. falls to 17, and, he's really not a bad consolation prize in my opinion. 

Everyone on here has been screaming for years that we need a vertical threat on the outside with size, speed, hands and redzone ability. He checks off every single one of those boxes and playing the waiting game seems like the best bet there in my opinion. Should let this year's draft board fall to us, rather than chase after it.

Again, we're not a WR1 away from running the table. Even when you DO land a WR1? How often does it pan out for your play-off hopes and livelihoods? Diggs didn't work out in Buffalo. Hill is not working out so far in Miami. Adams is not working out so far in Las Vegas. Chase is not working out so far in Cincinatti and Jefferson is potentially a trading candidate in Minnesota already if the rumor's are true. 

You do not need a WR1 to win a Superbowl in the NFL. Sure, it helps, however, for every great WR1 on a team that gets wiped out early in the play-off's, there's another team rolling with guys like Wes Welker, Donald Driver & Anquan Boldin as far as where they did or didn't go in their respective draft classes that go onto contribute big time in big time games. 

Have to agree with Jaguarmeister. Build the wall first around Lawrence. Establish the running game. Correct the imbalances and THEN look for his Julio Jones in a year or two in a trade that then makes sense.

None of this year's QB's are guaranteed to be stars at the next level. None of them. Caleb Williams hype is hyperinflated and I could see him struggling in Chicago. Daniels, Maye, McCarthy, Penix Jr. & Nix have qualities that translate to the NFL, and, they have some serious question marks in other areas of concern. Including age, durability, arm strength and decision making. 

It'll be funny, but, you watch, somebody like Spencer Rattler or Joe Milton III will end up being day three selections and end up being one of the better, if not, the best QB from this class by 2026. 

I think everybody gets awestruck when a rookie QB like C.J Stroud comes out in a blaze of glory and leads a team to a play-off appearance. That's extremely rare though. It rarely happens in back-to-back years. Sure, you'll get some rookie QB's that have good stats, but, they fall short in the W/L column. 

You had Roethlisberger in 2004. Ryan in 2008. Dalton in 2011. Griffin III, Luck & Wilson in 2012. That's about it really. Maybe, who else?

hoo boy you like wastin them keystrokes, dontcha?

For the wolfman? Absolutely. No such thing as a waste with him.
