Newt, I just can't see spending a pick, which we are short of already, on a draft QB who is nowhere near as good as Kyle McCord, who we already have. Did any of these lower draft college QBs throw for 4700 yards and 34 TDs last year as McCord did? There are no college QBs other than Mendoza that are better than what we have.
GB needs to hit homeruns with picks 52, 84, & 120. And they need those homerun picks to be at the biggest positions of need. The goal is to win NOW, and we do that by not drafting BPA, players that won't play now, WR, RB, S, LB, even OL. Any players at those positions won't play in 2026. Even OL, which is a big need, will be backups unless we get hit by injuries again. I would love to see a podcast about players that we would be interested in after pick 150. And I mean players at positions we will be taking after # 150, OL, TE, DL, WR, & LB.

I like it - But it won't happen.
Your top guys won't drop.
And when you see these DTs wearing a boot.
It's 6-8 weeks that they'll be out.
