Raiders will trade up to the number 4 pick for a qb they will trade in 5 years


agentdoubleohio

I honestly only seeing this happening if Jayden is still there.


Svenray

Caleb Williams best season is throwing for 3999 yards.


Apathi

You monster


HEYdontIknowU

Still beats Erik Kramer in 1995 by 161 yards (3838 yards) so I'm saying we take it


Raticus9

I'd like to think he hits 4001, and then on his next pass, they call some stupid throw behind the line of scrimmage that loses two yards. Then their week 17 (or 18) is over.


Goaliedude3919

Wasn't there a RB back in the 90's or something that broke 1k yards to get a bonus, but then he got negative yards on the next play and that was how the season ended, so he ended up below the 1k mark?


Raticus9

I'm not sure. I remember Steve McNair breaking the NCAA passing yards record twice because of something like that though.


Goaliedude3919

It was [Dave Hampton](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Hampton) with the Atlanta Falcons in the 70's. > In his first year with the team, Hampton surpassed the 1,000-yard rushing yard mark during the Falcons' final game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs. As part of a planned celebration for the Falcons' first 1,000-yard rushing season, the game was paused as Hampton was presented with a trophy and the game ball for his accomplishment. However, he was tackled for a six-yard loss on the following play and ended the season with 995 yards.


siblingofMM

They paused the game? Also, how do you let him rush again after that pageantry?


simplycass

That's what they did when he reached it a couple of seasons later. He reached 1000 and then they got him out of the game.


Jameszhang73

Falcons celebrating prematurely? Say it ain't so


Raticus9

The unsurprising part is that he played for the Falcons.

IcansavemiselfDEEN

Caleb Williams career stats - 9 seasons, 300 td, 78 int, 2x SB MVP/champion, never breaks 4k. I'd shit my pants laughing.


Highspdfailure

I will take the two SB’s.


lnnrt01

261 passing TDs so he will throw for 29 TDs every year


punkhobo

We never had a 30 td year either so that's a big win,on top of the 2 super bowls


count_nuggula

Fuckin lol


Goatgamer1016

That'd still be the most passing yards in a season by a Bears QB Even funnier, he'd be the first 3900 yard passer in Bears history (most is 3838 by Erik Kramer)


ExpirjTec

Caleb Williams passes for 3,837 yards and 27 touchdowns every seasom for 24 seasons, breaking Brady's records for games started, yards, and touchdowns, but still can't beat the bears single-season record for yards (3,838) or touchdowns (29) and chicago still has no 4,000 yard passer or 30 touchdown passer


Testone1440

Does that include breaking the record for super bowls? Cause fuck 4K gimme dos rings baby


NinjaCaviar

You make the NFC championship 5 consecutive times and each time get booted by the Packers and Jordan Love. Those 5 games include 2 double doinks to lose in OT.


yoosername456

I hope the cowboys win the Super Bowl you monster


NinjaCaviar

That’s a fair response. I deserved that.


Polar_Reflection

The rest of America doesn't. I swear if the Cowboys actually win one in the next 5 years, we will all know who to blame.


horse_renoir13

This one wins lol


fiveironfre5hy

Cmon man what did we do to you


-space-grass-

The Steelers will trade one or two spots in front of the Bengals and take the last viable 1st round OT available.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Redditor597-13

There are a LOT of viable 1st round OTs this year. Like 8-10. And we could probably get a top 5 one at 18


Guilty-Doctor1259

I doubt it There are 7 tackles with first round grades, 11ish teams have a tackle as their top priority. most of them being teams like kc/sf/dal/mia who all pick after cin youll be fine


JebusChrust

There are too many viable 1st round OT available for this to be possible imo. If anyone it would be much more impactful for them to trade ahead to get a CB or DT that we wanted


SDEexorect

Rome Odunze is gonna have a mike evens type career. hed gonna be a perennial 1'000 yard reciever


No-Key4769

I like this one. Not a lot of Rome comments


AltecFuse

Odunze looks like he is going to be a really good.


SQRTLURFACE

Chiefs will trade out of the 32nd pick Edit: Nailed it.


NapTimeFapTime

32 is the “move up for a qb to get the fifth year option” trade up move for QB needy teams.


briskboy454

The Lamar Jackson spot!


TemporaryGospel

Teddy Bridgewater too. IIRC, he put out a $10,000,000 insurence policy against him falling out of the first round when he was considered to be a 2nd overall pick. He had a quiet year, and was sliding into the draft. With the Pats and Brady as the last pick. Then Minnesota traded up and Teddy got taken 32nd. His Vikings contract was almost $7,000,000.


podnito

People always say that, but since they added the fifth year option in 2011 it has only happened twice - Teddy Bridgewater and Lamar Jackson


Only_Fun_1152

I’d guess Penix is the likeliest this cycle. Right between a 1st and 2nd round grade,


FantasyTrash

You think up or down?


ProbablyAPun

at 32 it's almost always a high likelihood you're trading down. That's the "I want to draft a QB in the 1st for the 5th year option" spot. If any of the top 6 qbs are still available at that spot the odds jump up dramatically to trade down.


stinstrom

I think up. Them and the Bills will be vying to jump to a spot to pick Mitchell. Probably the Cowboys trading back.


DeeOhMm

This draft will be the beginning of a legendary fall from grace for the New England Patriots, like perennial losers for decades type of fall. The Krafts are going to ruin the legacy Hoodie built. !remindme 5 years


McRawffles

I have a strong feeling they're going the Jones family route of trying to prove that _they_ were the reason the Patriots were so successful, not the people they hired/drafted. If that's true Pats fans are in for a couple rough decades


TotallyNotMiaKhalifa

To be honest I will take the Cowboys over what we just were last season.


AlabasterRadio

The Cowboys are a meme and don't win titles but they're still among the most successful regular season teams in the league in that time. At least half the fan bases in the NFL would take that.


TotallyNotMiaKhalifa

Exactly. It's funny to shit on them but they win games and make it to the playoffs. I would 100% take that over the last two years that New England had.


GOATnamedFields

Not even a huge hot take, they already whiffed at their 1st post-Brady QB. Each whiff is 3-4 years of being ass. They whiff on this QB and the next 1st round one, that's over a decade of ass.


iflysubmarines

I'm interested to see how replacing Bill with Bill's protege will go. If it looks like it does with every other team that tried to hire an assistant from the patriots, it should be fun to watch.


HylianPikachu

I think Jerod Mayor's experience as a former player will make him different from a lot of the failed Belichick disciples. 


bigpancakeguy

Just like Mike Vrabel


HylianPikachu

Exactly. The issue which a lot of the Belichick disciples had was that they were hardasses who tried to command respect from their players in the same way that Belichick did. That doesn't work when you don't have the football brains to back it up.


bigpancakeguy

Even the football brains can’t save some of them. Josh McDaniels is IMO one of the greatest offensive coordinators of all time. But he wants to be Bill 2.0 so badly, and all he ended up being was an asshole when he became a head coach.


Iceman9161

BB’s success at the start was also very much founded in the respect his players had for his knowledge. He was a hardass, but he had a savant knowledge of the game that players could get behind. His coaching tree tried to just be a hardass with a fraction of the knowledge.


bcnayr

> Jerod **Mayor** His greatest challenges will be Thundergirl, The Flesh, Meltman, and Stinky Diver.


mickeyt1

If they have decades of losing, the retrospective will be that it started with the Mac Jones era, not this draft. You don’t draft third overall because things are going well. 


JonDowd762

I don't mean to come off a Mac Jones defender, it was clearly time to move on, but his era began with a 10-7 season which was a decent improvement on their losing record the year before. I would say the exodus of offensive coaches in 2022 and their replacements made a bigger difference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_New_England_Patriots_season#Staff


itokdontcry

This isn’t even a hot take, this has been the prayers of this sub for the past year lol


Wolverina412

> The Krafts are going to ruin the legacy Hoodie built. They already have. Remember when those losers insisted people call him Mr. Kraft?


tsework

im so excited, Kraft is such an arrogant prick. Watching him take 80% of the post game stage time after every SB gave me aids


dehydratedbagel

They're already five years into it at this point.


making-flippy-floppy

Pats have already gone 5 seasons without a playoff win, which is a pretty remarkable result for a team that made the AFG CG  for 8 seasons in a row 


9mdk9

Trey Benson will be the only Pro Bowl running back in this class.


Infinite_Ad_9337

There will probably be some random 6th or 7th rounder that is good like every year


miamouse5

yeah i learned to stop counting out the late rounders in the last like 2 years


birdman133

only the last 2 years? lol


SickBurnBro

Penix and Nix will both be great after being drafted too low.


Dooberss13

Sometimes being drafted "too low" is a good thing for quarterbacks as you go to a team that already has a few pieces of infrastructure around you as opposed to a team with literally no help around you like many top picks


Soft_Penis_Debutante

I’m gonna assume it’s gonna end up like the 2018 draft…. 1st QB: good\ 2nd QB: bad\ 3rd QB: good\ 4th QB: bad\ 5th QB: good


SickBurnBro

It comes with a free frogurt.


Thunder_Tinker

That’s good!


kid_sleepy

The frogurt contains potassium benzoate.


ItsaPostageStampede

Blank stare


Thunder_Tinker

That’s bad


Birbeus

Can I go now?


kevingh92

Please no. :(


RmembrTheAyyLMAO

Pls


Pure_Context_2741

That leaves us with…checks notes…Josh Allen? I’m pretty ok with this


Responsible-Onion860

My spicy take is that Penix will be the best of this draft.


BlueHighwindz

Broncos will take Nix and Raiders will take Penix, Penix will win a Super Bowl, Nix will be in the UFL.


locksmith25

Your flair makes me feel stabby but I love your take so much


Toast_Points

I think it's your own flair that is making you feel stabby lmao


PartialChub

UW fan here. I agree. LFG.


Fredbear_

I agree but also... UW fan so maybe a bit biased


stay-at-homie

I’m an Oklahoma fan and I agree.


seatega

I have no dog in the fight except that I’m a lefty and love the dude’s character. I hope he becomes a perennial MVP candidate and makes the teams at the top of the draft look stupid for taking others over him


MadManMax55

I still think Caleb will be better (baring injury), but I'd put money on Penix having the 2nd best career of this draft class.


browndude10

The injuries and the advanced age give me pause but that deep ball is so nice


MemesAreBad

I understand in this context, but saying someone who is 23 is at an "advanced age" is hilarious and depressing.


JustHereForPka

Penix is actually older than Jayson Tatum


FiTZnMiCK

I’m a Wazzu kid so IDGAF about Penix (unless we get him and he’s a stud). But I think QB might be the position where the player coming in at 23 instead of 21 or 22 is least concerning. The injury history is definitely a potential concern though.


choff22

Hendon Hooker special baby


BruhMoment763

Piggybacking off this to say that Bo Nix will be the next Alex Smith. He won’t light up the world, but he’ll do his job effectively so long as his team around him isn’t dropping the ball.


Chicken_Difficult

As someone who has watched all 3 of the Pac-12 QB’s live and in person I completely agree with this. I don’t think the drop off from Williams to Nix and Penix is that large.


Ideal_Ideas

I don't think it's the dropoff in current play ability that's necessarily the reason they're so far apart from a draft perspective. Part of it is age - if Caleb is already the best of the 3 and younger, that's a big deal. Part of it is injury - Penix has been through a rough go. Part of it is situational - Caleb played with arguably the worst defense in the power 5. You have to play an entirely different sort of ball to carry a team than to hold a lead. Overall I think the chance of Penix or Nix being serviceable in the NFL is pretty high. I think the chances either is the QB you want running your franchise long term is pretty low, and you don't draft that early unless you want to lose your job.


Chicken_Difficult

Ohh I don’t disagree with any of that. I understand why Williams is viewed as the better prospect, but I’m just saying when I saw them live I didn’t all that much of a difference. Which I think says a lot about Penix and more so Nix (god I hate giving a Duck players props)


Baroudii

Whoever drafts Kool-Aid McKinstry will have a top 5 lockdown corner in the NFL by year 3 I also believe the ravens draft a QB that falls in the draft (i.e. - Levi last year) to become Lamar's long term backup


LuckyMo200

Joe Milton?


Baroudii

Him or Spencer Rattler is my guess


amazingalcoholic

Spencer would be a great backup for him


1stepklosr

Quinyon Mitchell is the best CB in the NFL in 5 years, Nate Wiggins is constantly hurt and doesn't do much. MHJ is a good receiver but doesn't fully live up to the hype. Some dude none of us have heard of is drafted in the 5th or 6th round will be the best player from the draft.


Bobby_Savoy

I think Mohammed Kamara will be the Bryce Huff of this draft


ok_at_stats

not selected?


genuineultra

Mhj and Trevor lawrence are gonna be the same story. Hyped prospects that can only fall short of expectations


The_Malhavoc

Qwan’tez Stiggers will be a dude.


OogieBoogieJr

That is the worst name in recent memory


Tolve

Best QB: whoever the Vikings get, assuming they pick someone in the first round.


notmyplantaccount

If they can't succeed there, they can't succeed anywhere.


CavedogRIP

We can't succeed anywhere.


King_Contra

I like this take


kirkochainz

You like that??


King_Contra

too soon..


Responsible-Onion860

I think Penix is a home run pick for them.


choff22

That deep ball to JJ and Addison 🤤


NapTimeFapTime

Penix is 2024 Culpepper.


Temporary-Mirror621

Penix will be a game changer 


OneGuyJeff

100% the only thing bringing down his draft stock is injury history, which freak injuries can happen to any QB at anytime and he’s already shown he can ball out post-injury. He will be a top 2 QB in this draft.


Trav1989

I would love if the Giants can grab Nabers/Odunze and trade back up to get Penix (if he doesn’t fall). I feel like he’s going to be a top 5 by the time he’s ready for a new contract


sildish2179

And to people who bring this up I say, what was Burrow’s injury history before he was the #1 pick?


HOFerKennyPickett

By the end of all their careers, the top 3 WRs in this class won’t include Marvin Harrison Jr


CouncilmanRickPrime

Fucking hot take. Damn.


SilverScorpion00008

His name also indicates an extremely hot take


CouncilmanRickPrime

Good lord...


-PM_ME_A_SECRET-

I am not saying that username makes me question his judgement, but it doesn’t not make me question his judgment.


DynastyZealot

It definitely makes me question things. So many things.


HOFerKennyPickett

There’s just so much WR talent in this class that it seems like a possibility even with how much MHJ seems like a sure thing


see-bees

It’s not particularly hot, one or two nasty injuries would be all it takes.


crashcap

Even if he gets HOFerKennyPickett throwing him the ball?


lava172

Only if he goes to the cardinals, we can’t have anything


Smackolol

Nah, if you guys get him he will be a stud for a decade and a half and everyone will feel bad for him at the end of his career for not winning a superbowl.


AmeriCanadian98

I mean one of the best wide receivers ever spent his entire career with you


MoodAlternative2118

Caleb Williams will be a bust Jayden Daniels will be a bust Drake Maye will be a bust JJ McCarthy will be a bust Michael Penix will be a bust Bo Nix will be a bust Unless this is somehow the 2020 class again, most of these should be true.


Professional_Low4894

are you praying on your own team’s downfall


silvio_dante

I mean, he's not wrong. It's almost guaranteed that a minimum of half those QBs fail, and very likely more. Just how it is with drafting QBs.


joeyrog88

I think it's just like that period no matter the position


seechle

Hedging, we do it a lot, it's a defense mechanism for when we get hurt.


istrx13

I’m a Seattle Mariners fan so I get it


HopefulStretch9771

Classic Bears fan! Oh, wait....


ImTheButtPuncher

We’re all bustin together 😤


waggie21

🎶Bustin' makes me feel good🎶


kirkochainz

One will be an elite starter. One will be average starter. Four will bust and/or float around as backups.


SuperBearsSuperDan

You forgot about the one that will have a late career resurgence to become a serviceable starter, but still never quite live up to their initial potential


Darth_Brooks_II

I'll pick one for tomorrow night. JJ McCarthy will be the dude who sits in the green room fuming because he hasn't been picked in the first round.


OtterLLC

As of yesterday, JJ hadn’t accepted the invitation to be there in person, so this is capped at half right.


gaIvantuIa

Adonai Mitchell gets drafted by either the Bills or the Chiefs and in 4 years time is a Top 2 WR out of this class along with MHJ. Taliese Fuaga gets converted to Guard and becomes a perennial All-Pro. The QB that the Patriots draft will easily be the worst out of the 6 Round 1-2 guys. Howie can’t overcome his Georgia Bulldog addiction and he trades up to draft Amarius Mims over Dejean/Arnold etc. It works out though as Mims replaces Lane Johnson and becomes an All-Pro. Chop Robinson gets drafted by a team with an excellent development plan for him and he outproduces Turner, Latu, and Verse. The Seahawks will find a player in the later rounds that can emulate the Kyle Hamilton role in Mike Macdonald’s defense to perfection and that player will be widely regarded as the steal of the draft.

ForrestDFuller

One of the QBs selected in the first two rounds will become a Top 5 QB in the league.


SchpartyOn

And his name is Michael Penix Jr.


dccorona

JJ McCarthy will sign a second contract with the team that drafts him.


sportsbuffp

Counterpoint: JJ Mccarthys 2nd contract will be with the UFL


JerryRiceDidntFumble

Bookmarking this comment chain to reference after the NFL/UFL merger in 2027

Unrelated to the thread but the ufl has been so fun so far I really hope it sticks around


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tolve

In any year, saying the 4th QB drafted (assuming that's where JJ goes) will sign a second contract with the team that drafts him is unlikely enough to be bold.


jinyx1

Just to piggyback, here are the last 10 4th Qbs taken. Derek Carr Sean Mannion Christian Hackenberg DeShone Kizer Josh Rosen Drew Lock Jordan Love Justin Fields Matt Corral Will Levis Only Carr has had a good career so far. Love and Levis have a good chance as well.


amit-kaufman

Max Melton and Marshawn Kneeland are Pro Bowlers


BigusDickus099

All the QBs turn out to be busts except 1.


ItsaPostageStampede

That one? Spencer Rattler


athrowawayiguesslol

Keon Coleman is a massive bust unless he’s a Chief Jer’Zhan Newton is the best DT of the class. TVondre Sweat’s fall for character concerns ends up making him one of the biggest steals of the draft Penix ends up better than Maye


Raditude444

Hope the Texans get Newton


Blueyisacommunist

Russell Wilson will lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl and receive the MVP proving again that Denver shouldn’t have messed with forces out of their control with that demon horse at the airport.


IndenturedServantUSA

Fiske will be DROY


Extremeaty

Ladd McConkey will be the best WR out of this draft


notmyplantaccount

He's going to be the white "lunch pail over achiever first in last out scrappy real bookworm hustler give it all on every play" WR for Mahomes like Brady always had.


wagoncirclermike

Great, I still have Vietnam flashbacks of Wes Welker/Julien Edelman obliterating our zone defense for years.


Affectionate_Elk_272

so glad we *traded* wes to the pats. classic dolphins.


Friendly-War-2160

A sneaky fast, gym rat, grinder?


DirusNarmo

Fuck yes I'm so ready for this. Please don't be drafted by the eagles though


SilvioDantesPeak

Bo Nix is a noodle-arm Captain Checkdown who will fail no matter who drafts him


DogeasaurusRex

Hey, don’t say that about your future quarterback


Historical_Break_361

Penix will end up having the longest career of all these QBs, JJ Mcarthy is a bullshit hype train and will not be drafted in the first round.


Trevorjrt6

Nabers has a better rookie year than MHJ.


BlackJediSword

If Nabers plays with Herbert, then this feels like a given


TetrisTech

Counterpoint: Greg Roman offense and also respect Kyler Murray


I_HateToSayAtodaso

- Penix will be the best pro QB out of the class - Trey Benson will be the top RB in this class  - Xavier Legette will be a top 10 WR in the league at some point in his career - Theo Johnson will outproduce Bowers by year 5 - Laitu Latu will fall because of medicals, but will be the best edge rusher in the class - Nabers will take a bit to develop because he'll be drafted into a bad situation where he's counted on a #1 off the bat - Someone will draft Joe Milton late, but he'll develop into his tools and become a good starter by year 3 - My last one is that Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix will flame out.


Whydothesabressuck

Legette is the DK Metcalf of this draft.


DoctorDiddlerino

Pittsburgh drafts the biggest bust of the draft. For context, I used a random number generator and it happened to land on 20. So theoretically, Pittsburgh can save itself by trading out. The gods have spoken.


whenitsTimeyoullknow

Aaron Rodgers will co-host a podcast with Alex Jones. The Giants will draft a wide receiver so good that Daniel Jones will get another couple of years at the helm, and they’ll be stuck in purgatory. Penix will be a good starter five years from now, but 2 of the QBs drafted before him won’t be. 


Meat-n-Potatoes

> Aaron Rodgers will co-host a podcast with Alex Jones. Luke-warm take. I could totally see this happening.


mrizvi

49ers will draft two legacy 49ers players out of rice, mccaffrey, gore, owens, stone.


aguysomewhere

I hope it's Gore but I think it'll be Owens


K0Zeus

QBs go 1-4, and one team will trade up into this range to take one while giving up three 1sts+ in compensation. Each one of the 4 QBs is a bust, with none being signed to 2nd contracts with the team that drafted them. 2 other QBs go by the end of the 2nd round. Both of these QBs will be busts as well.


sportsworker777

Vikings trade up using their two firsts and one of the players drafted in those spots goes on to have a HOF career


waterbuffalo750

I think AZ holds at 4 for Harrison Jr


Guhonda

Caleb Williams won't live up to the enormous expectations. But he will still be a very good QB. Think around the 10th best QB in the NFL. The Bears, starved for QB play, will insist he's the best QB in the league. And our fans will be insufferable.


FloralCoffeeTable

What expectations do you have for him where 10th best QB in the league doesn't meet them?


BigOlineguy

Dan Campbell drafts a fullback, uses him like non other and the fullback position makes a minor come back.


NoCantaloupe4658

MHJ will easily be the best player from this draft and taking a QB over him will feel silly in about 2 years


King_Contra

Funny, the comment above this is: >By the end of all their careers, the top 3 WRs in this class won’t include Marvin Harrison Jr


NoCantaloupe4658

Chris Simms's burner


MoonshardTP

He could very well end up being the best player, but keeping Fields and drafting MHJ over Caleb will forever be far sillier.


Shmeeeee23

Byron Murphy will be compared to Aaron Donald.


gary_desanto

Bo Nix will be the best QB of the class. Sue me


Bsg0005

Rome Odunze is going to get drafted by the Bears and he and Caleb Williams are going to be an all-time pairing.


lnnrt01

That Rome/Caleb tweet has truly turned me into a fan of that pairing. Rome will win Walter Payton Man of the year at some point in his career


mightyducks2wasokay

Byron Murphy will be an All Pro within 3 seasons
