Ok... I will... Trubisky may be gone...

QB PICK AT #11 or 32 PATRICK MAHOMES Texas Tech?
Face it... Brees isn't going to last forever....

If you're a quarterback in Texas running the spread attack that is prevalent throughout the state, playing for Texas Tech is a natural fit. The son of the former major league pitcher of the same name has a big-league arm, and used it quite a bit in high school (4,619 yards, 50 TDs as a senior) and more than anyone else in college football the past two seasons.

Mahomes began his career by starting the Red Raiders' final four games his true freshman year (1,547 yards, 16 TDs, four INTs, 56.8 completion percentage), one of those games being a 598-yard, six-touchdown effort against a top-10 team in Baylor.

He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 notice for the second straight year in 2015, starting every game and leading the FBS with 393 yards of total offense per game (4,653 yards, 36 TDs, 15 INTs, 63.5 completion pct).

Mahomes was a second-team all-conference pick in his final year with Tech in 2016, leading the FBS with 421 passing yards per game (5,052 total, 41 TDs, 10 INTs, 65.7 completion pct). He's also been a threat with his big-bodied frame and strong legs the past three years, scoring 22 times on the ground.

Someone is going to get a HELL OF A QB...

If we draft a QB at 11 I might just birth a small farm animal...

... and I'd raise him as a 4H project and win a prize at the fair.

I'd be concerned, but wouldn't be that upset if we took Trubiskey, assuming he'd even fall to us at No. 11...

I would be upset though if we didn't use at least three of our next picks (R1/32, R2/42, R3/74, R3/103) to improve the defense, specifically the pass rush, though...

Moore was a good signing, and at least they're addressing the positions (or trying to) we have been complaining about on here. They're trying to get better. I would personally bring Jhari back for the right price. He had a solid season last year and with armstead and his injuries being uncertain it would allow us to still have two solid guards while swinging Peat out left when needed. Jhari is better than both of the other backups and unless Turner makes a drastic turn this year then I'd try to keep him for the right price

Your team stinks

If the quarterback everyone wants is 'there' at 11 then I think that would be a great opportunity to trade back and add a mid round pick

Yeah could see something like that

Trade back to 15/16 get a 3rd rounder. Trade the 3rd we got from NE snd that 3rd to NE for Butler still have 11/32/2/3 rounders.

We should always trade back and get additional picks if the conditions are ripe. It's always a win win. We've done the exact opposite too many times with negative returns; Jonathan Sullivan one of the biggest black eyes in Saints history.

If we drafted a QB at 11 my head would explode....
