This was all planned out, obviously you can't predict the picks but they wanted this. Just seen a video of Rome and he stated, him, DJ, Keenan and CW have already been working out together. That wasn't by accident. His big hero was Devin Hester growing up and his first NFL jersey was 54 Urlacher. This is a perfect fit.

Here is GB draft reports updated big board. A lot of good names still there. We are 43 picks away. https://gbnreport.com/2024-updated-big-board/

5 different players had a case for being pick 9 . There was no bad choice.

Me too, everyone board is different. Who knew Panic would be picked top 10.

There was no bad choice, this tells me , they will keep Allen for only the one year and use that money somewhere else. Poles has to have a plan for an edge rusher. Maybe someone he likes will be available at 75.

Im not here making a choice of Caleb or Justin, that argument has passed. Caleb is here and Justin is gone. I just dont understand why you have a problem with me wishing a good outcome for a good dude? You may be right but the outcome of whether he improves or is trash is still open. I think he proves himself, it's an opinion. At this point, he hasn't improved enough to keep his job in Chicago, so some of your pessimism exists. It will be easier to have this conversation one year from now.

It starts now with a potential top 5 QB, no turning back.

A few draft profilers have said they seen him playing RT , forgot the reasoning involved with that, but if you have any question on where he plays, don't take him.

I like Mo Kamara and Hall. I was curious why we had so many CBs come in for visits, many some end up priority free agents. I think all three WRs are gone by 9 so that's why we traded back in my scenario.

32 teams didn't need QBs so I'm not sure how 5 GMs constitutes the theory no one wanted him. Everything is not absolute. GMs acquired QBs before Poles decided to trade him. Timing is everything. He is on a team and will be starting sometime this year . You can watch first hand him prove your opinion wrong. There again, im not saying he's an elite QB but definitely a starting caliber QB in this league. We can only have opinions on what might happen, so it has yet to be determined.

My prediction 1) Caleb Williams / QB 9) trade back with the Bengals for pick 18-49-149 they take Brock Bowers. 18) Chop Robinson/DE 49) Roman Wilson/WR 75)Kiran Amedgadjie/OT 122) Brennan Jackson/DE 149) Beaux Limmer/OC Williams pick is obvious, Wilson can add to the WR room and take over for Allen when he leaves. Chop is only 21 and has lots of growth but can be a rotational DE his first year. Kiran and Limmer for depth and potential starters in the future. Adding 2 DEs gives Walker the chance to take snaps inside at 3 T , where he has had most his sacks.

I think extending means more than just giving him more money. Poles gives him lots of credit for everything that has happened so far. He turned down a GM job in the past so I think he thinks we have a chance to get to a SB and wants to be here for that event. Waiting a couple years of the emergence of a quality team has to be financially favorable for his future plus he shows loyalty. I think if the right job gets offered, he will take it but a bigger resume of success can't hurt either.

Your entitled to your opinions but it's based on a hypothesis, so it can't be proven. I think with better play calling and a better roster, he could have been a top 10-15 QB. ( His last 7 games he was the 11th ranked QB) The lack of trade value has a lot to do with timing. Poles didn't decide to trade him until well after the combine, after most spots were filled. There are 2 reasons he's not here. We got lucky and got the top pick, if we didn't have a top 3 pick, he would still be here. Also having to pay him big money in 2025 and forward came in to play. He hasn't shown enough to get a big contract. I think he proves himself and becomes a starter in Pittsburgh. He's never going to be elite but obviously history tells us you don't have to be to win a SB. Poles choose Caleb because he can become elite and that doesn't automatically mean Justin is a garbage QB. All of this is my opinion and can't be proven until a few years have passed to see if it was accurate.

Here's a video about Caleb and one gen stat says his release time is 0.28 compared to the NFL average is 0.45. A split second in a pass play matters.

It's coming from my common sense. It's not a 100% statement but if you have better talent at WR, logic tells me they get open more often than bad WRs. Trust in your WRs allows QBs to anticipate throws quicker in their decision making. Example: Justin had a quicker release time with DJ last year than with Tyler Scott. He trusted him to be where he was supposed to be and catch the ball so he didn't have to wait until he got open, he could anticipate. Now if you're first read is throwing a deep route obviously he will hold the ball longer but it's a general statement. Im sure there are some next generation stats that show that but it's ok if you disagree with me . I'm not trying to plant a flag with that comment it's just part of a conversation. I could be wrong. Another thing, I don't think their taking OL at 9 but I watched a video with some journalists discussed the OL and I now thinks it's very possible in in a trade back. They were talking about Jenkins and his injury history. Plus this is his last year in contract. So if Poles doesn't want to pay him, he may draft his replacement now and have him starting next year. That makes sense to me .
