Re: When to draft Stafford's Replacement? - This year? Next year? 2 Years from now?

When Arch comes out would be preferable ...

Next year we have
Ewers
Jaxson Dart
Will Howard
Carson Beck
Riley Leonard

And a few others that could make a splash...

I'm not trading up for any of them from the 32 spot, so why keep the pick?

An OLT? Not at 32.

If I liked someone a lot that could be had in round 2? Sure.

Otherwise I'm waiting for another strong QB year. Which looks like 2026.

Kupp and Nacua beat people in their way.
Odunze can beat people every way. He's not a "maybe" ...

Then you have he and Nacua as the best duo in the NFL for a decade. Ending Stafford and ushering in a new Era under whoever is next.

Do I think it's the smartest and safest move? No.
But it's gutsy.
