Man, I’ve gone back and forth as far as what I think will happen and what I want to happen. And I’m still a bit confused.

I don’t want Anthony Richardson at #5. Or any QB in the draft not named Young.

Nor do I want Geno at 4 years and $150+ million.

I want PCJS to improve the roster across the board, and I don’t think that can be done with huge $ going to a QB.

Maybe it should be Lock at a lesser amount and focus on the entire team dynamic.

But I’m sure I’ll change my mind a few hundred times between now and the draft.

I think the current trend in thinking that QB is the most important position on the team and thus must be paid accordingly will go the way of the dodo and soon. Players should be looked at in terms of WAR (Wins Above Replacement) and paid accordingly, not because they play a certain position. Paying these guys who never have and never will win the Super Bowl 15% of your cap is just silly.

I've long thought that the way to have continued success in the NFL is to have young, hungry players and never get too old. A few vets is fine but you have too many you get top-heavy and a lack of depth and injuries will kill your chances. The Hawks spent the last 8 years trying to get back to the promised land with a highly pad QB and it led to a lot of above-average teams that couldn't get there... they need a new tactic and paying Geno $40 million for 3-4 years isn't it.
