Banks, riley, and sanker look pretty solid.

Only problem is using the 40th pick overall for a backup quarterback. With so many positions of need it feels like a wasted pick

Will Johnson was there. Guy is going to be elite.

Until we see shough, I have a hard time judging the pick. Maybe we're taking the GB approach to getting a qb ready. Maybe he sucks. We really don't know until we see him.

It’s never a waste to draft a QB. Last years draft wasn’t a win now situation, they were building for the future and a QB is important.


This board acts like rattler is a lock to be the franchise QB. Is rattler improving? Sure. Is rattler the guy? Probably not.

Until you have your QB, you keep trying to find your QB.

ST: Pick a QB every year.

ST: Why waste a pick on a QB?

ST: We need to tank and tank now!

ST: We suck and needed starters to win now!

ST: I love the New Orleans Saints.

ST: We should sell and move the team.


Most bipolar board on TD.

sooo sick of hearing this. a new head coach came in and had a guy here who was basically a 5th round rookie he did not draft. he saw an opportunity to draft a guy in the 2nd round with some upside/measurables to compete for the starting job, so he took him. big deal. you want guys pushing each other for the starting job.

It’s also been 5 fricking games. All the Nostradamus's and Ms Cleo’s on this board are hilarious.

Every single drafted rookie has played snaps for this team ... this group is already a great draft. Now to become legendary, Shough and Stutsman will have to hit, but you already hit on your 1st, 3rd and 4th round picks.

I liked our draft class except the 2nd and third rounds. Both were major reaches.

We could possibly have had a 2006/2017 type draft class if we had nailed those two picks.

Maybe Shough can at least be serviceable as a starter.

I liked Will Johnson, he was a top 12 talent. But not sure you give him a second contract. He has Rsmczyk knees supposedly. But only the gms know that extent of that info.

They had some talent available at that 40 spot that we missed out on.

Have both 7th rounders Matavao TE and Diggs DE both gotten snaps in regular season?

I've been a little bit of a bandwagon guy this year and haven't watched every game in its entirety.


Edit: Dont see either one on active roster or with any stats on the season.

Neal has 7 on offense and 4 on ST
Shough has 3
Diggs has played 52 on defense and 23 on ST

Broughton had 24 snaps in week 2

It was literally where Shough was projected to go by almost everyone

Of your 10 youngest players on this roster

Two are Banks and Fuaga
Two are Sanker and Kool Aid
Two are Kendre and Neal

It would be huge if they were the foundation of their respective units going forward

We need to figure out how to get Stutsman run

Same. You missed on a sure-fire 10 year starter.
