Tua and Picks for Rodgers?
That would be a really interesting call.
I think Miami still need to build
Not sure a blockbuster deal for Rodgers would bring instant success
Depends what they think of Tua behind closed doors though and how much GB rate Love

Really happy with my ravens. Another weapon for Lamar and a super-athletic edge who I trust our guys to develop well.

Have we finally got a franchise QB?

Surprised he dropped that low, so understandably we moved to get him. Big decision by Pace.

Pretty happy that Mac Jones dropped to us at 15. Wanted Fields but happy that we got a QB without having to trade up.

very Patriots type of player. Not great at anything but not awful at anything and combined with being very smart and wrapped up in the body of someone who is drinking in the parking lot of Gillette.

Given that Cam's arm is cooked, will be nice to have someone who can just make the average throws. Given Bill and McDaniels i am sure Mac will be asked to just not lose games rather than win them.

Really baffled by the dolphins pick.
Obviously they were swinging for the fences hoping for Pitts or Chase.
But they’ve ended up trading away a 1st for a player they could likely have got at 12 (or 10 for a 3rd rounder)
Brilliant work by the Eagles, better player and a first.

Happy enough with Waddle, but I would have prefered Sewell. Wish they'd gone with Harris at 18. Hopefully they can get the Williams at RB in the second. Or the Notre Dame LB/hybrid guy.

will be interesting to see how it plays out (as always) but Smith looks the better #1 wr to me. Injury also a concern.

Peter Schrager is reporting that Waddle was their No.1 receiver ahead of Chase. Of course, that's probably just spin from the team, but it's interesting all the same.

Yes, I read that in a few of the local papers this morning.
The drop off to Waddle and a ‘23 first round vs the significantly better talents or Chase or Pitts at #3 is a huge ? For me tho.
Should have stayed at 12 and had the first in ‘22 and ‘23 OR gone for Chase.
Fell between two stools here

Interesting Mac is a long term project, his lack of mobility means he needs to be developed and modern football is all about running away from pressure. The pocket QB is dead as they need time to develop and no GM has time anymore

I think Cam this season will be much better and hopefully back to form

A couple of people had Waddle as a better WR than Chase but no one had Pitts below either

Bengals burrows chase reunion should be interesting if the o line can actually protect the qb for at least 5 plays.
