In his sit down with the local media post the main combine interview Borgonzi made it very clear if they were to move the #1 pick it will only be with a significant return.

titansfan Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 7 minutes ago, oldschool said: because no one said that.. What was said was: 1. Can't assume Carter is a lock to be Parsons 2. Generational is an overused term that gets applied to top prospects all the time. It needs to stop. Not an indictment of Carter who nearly everyone thinks should be the pick if Ward doesn't grade out 3. very few if anyone claims QB must be the pick no matter what. The Anti Ward group assumes that is why some want Ward. Ward must grade out and if he does, the stance is that AB trumps everything else. No one is advocating for a reach on QB just because 5. @titansfan likes Walker a lot. Not sure he said Walker is as good as Carter Correct. No one is arguing against Carter being a special talent. I would argue he's a pretty risk averse option. I can't imagine a scenario in which he fails to make a impact as a pass rusher. Where I won't go as far in proclaiming is calling him "generational" which like you said is overused. Hes a rare athlete, but he didn't particularly exhibit absolute game changing sustained plau in college. It'd be a true projection to say he's the type of game altering player along the lines of Donald, Parsons, Watt, or Garrett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NashvilleNinja Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 4 hours ago, OILERMAN said: That in itself is not a reason to draft a QB at 1. In fact it gets teams in trouble often. If they take Ward I understand and will trust the new decision makers. I don't pretend to know whether Ward is worthy of the #1 pick and to skip a player like Carter. I lean towards no. We'll see what they do in free agency and that will tell a lot. In his presser Gonzi said they'll be bringing in a couple QBs. They may not draft Ward at 1 but they could draft someone else in the 2nd or later. I think Cossell said he has Tyler Shough as his 2nd QB in the draft. Maybe they get him the 3rd or 4th?

SleepingTitan Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 14 hours ago, Callidus said: Ya, i listen to practically all the podcasts during the week and they all are going nuts for sanders the last week or 2. I was guilty of it last year, and especially when we got close to #1. Voted for him in the poll I posted (maybe the only one). Sanders doesn’t have the velocity to play in the NFL. If he throws those ducks, it’s over. If a coach designs a system like T Law had in 2023, he could be successful short term with some great YAC receivers. But when the drama hits whichever team that takes him, it’s gonna get ugly. Callidus, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever we pay him just offsets what the jets have to pay him so he will cost league min, same with cousins if he gets cut. Carr that is less likely because of the dead cap hit for the saints and their shit cap situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Of the many scenarios for the upcoming NFL Draft, the one that makes the most sense is Browns using their top pick on a quarterback. https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1894457003948253247 rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieTitanFan08 Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Bold statement from Schefter saying the Browns taking a QB at #2 is the thing is currently most certain about this draft, the question that needs to be asked whether that is real reporting from what he is hearing or him being a good company man trying to stir up interest in the top of the draft.

Weren’t there other sources that said the Browns will draft a qb. Giants are left out in the cold at 3 if they want a qb (and have a preference).
