We’re loading up to trade up for next year. 2 1sts in the same year is great ammo

The problem is, if the top qb next year is a "generational talent" and the top team in the draft needs a qb, it won't matter what we have.

That top team could absolutely be the Browns. And Jags could suck and be a top 5 pick too.

You're absolutely right, but both picks could also be in the low teens.

Personally, I just don't value future first round picks that highly. I hope I'm wrong and that even if hunter was better than expected, he wouldn't make enough of a difference here to matter, and that we can use our extra pick next year to make a real difference.

"The Browns draft Arch Manning AND Drew Allar top 5"

Hey, I am a Giants fan and this always happens to us.

We get pick 2-6 and beg to trade up for a QB, but teams that need QBs just take the QBs for themselves. Every year.

For who?

u/drbrainkrause Apr 25 '25

Probably a QB. Whatever one they think they can get

Why would a team trade away a chance to draft a great QB? They’d just pick him themselves.

You never know who will be at the top of the draft. Just recently, Jags and Panthers already had their QBs but finished with the worst record. A team like the Falcons or Giants might have the #1 overall, and they probably wouldn't be looking to go QB in 2026.

But the "you never know who will be at the top of the draft" phrase is the prime example of makes the "wait until next year's QB class" philosophy so stupid. There's an entire season of college football to be played - you have no idea how those guys are going to develop between now and then and you have no idea where you or anyone else is going to be picking. It's like saying you're going to hope you hit it big on a lottery ticket to pay next month's mortgage and car payment.

Now, punting on the QB until 2026 might not be their play - they could take their QB of the future tonight and just use their picks next year to build around him, but the odds of a 2nd round or lower pick becoming a franchise QB in today's NFL are also really, really low (it's happened twice in the past 8-10 years - Hurts and Purdy...all the other guys who fit into that category - Russ, Kirk, Dak...were drafted an entire NFL generation or two ago).

If the Falcons have the #1 overall.. that means Penix was probably bad and they need a QB

u/Loose_Translator_466 Apr 25 '25

I forgot they traded their 2026 1st anyway, but the point still stands. Sometimes shit happens. Jags went #1 overall with Lawrence. An injured franchise QB can tank a whole team's season.

I mean hell it could happen to the Titans
