In the Non Belivers thread he asked this....
As always, you take the best player left on your board. Don't stretch for a QB, but if they have one they really like at one of their first few picks them take them.
They have a great rookie class that has helped take them were many of us did not think we possible.
Do it again next year. Add pieces all over that make you dangerous.
That’s how I see it also. If they love one above others, then go get him. QB is to important to be cheap or cute with.If they love a QB then I'm fine with doing whatever to get him. Say they love Stroud and he's the consensus top QB. They should make the move to get him. But they have to love him
I'm not at a point where I'd want them to move up if there are other guys they really like at other positions of need, but of course if they really want a guy they will go get him.If they love a QB then I'm fine with doing whatever to get him.

I'm thinking about how they supposedly made efforts to get MahomesI'm not at a point where I'd want them to move up if there are other guys they really like at other positions of need, but of course if they really want a guy they will go get him.
There's a lot they can do with both of those first rounders. I'll be fine if they take a QB. Just not grabbing one at all cost.
Yup would of been great if they had been able to make that happen. Would of been worth the cost.I'm thinking about how they supposedly made efforts to get Mahomes
They are, but we all know franchise QBs get top dollar. And realistically, how long would it take for a QB we pick at the top of the draft to play at a level comparable to what Geno Smith is giving us right now? Year 3? A DB, pass rusher, or space eating DT has a much greater chance to be really good in the 1st or 2nd year, and you play more than 1 of them at a time (you have to sit Geno to get anything at all out of a QB pick). I don't see the rationale on a top QB in '23 at all unless Geno isn't here or falls to earth in a tragic way these next 8 games.No matter who we take with that top pick they are going to be really expensive if they hit

I was trying to come up with what I think he'll make in 2023 if things keep on current glidepath, both as in what it would take Seattle to extend him before he hits free agency and what another team would offer to lure him away if he does hit the market. I didn't get up to $30M. That sounds like a ton, but then I just pulled up 2023 cap numbers for QBs, and that would only put him as the 12th highest, just behind Jared Goff and above Carson Wentz. I would certainly rather have Geno over both of those guys, so maybe that's not all that far off, but at the same time it's hard to imagine that being a backup for so long before this opportunity isn't going to dampen the value a bit. Are teams really going to let this 1 season override the entirety of his career up to this point? I just don't know. Might be one of the biggest storylines of the off-season if he finishes as good as he started. I am also wondering if Russ continues to struggle in Denver right after 10 great years here that it may pull down Geno's value a bit as well, to the extent of teams starting to think Pete does more for the QB than he's been given credit for doing.If Geno keeps playing the way he is right now he is going to get a multiyear 30+ mil a year contract.
