We also tried to trade with Buffalo for Lynch

on my phone so can't post the link but articles out of buffalo said we tried to move up to their spot to take lynch. Deal fell apart when we wouldn't add in next years first rounder. Thank goodness. That would have been a disaster

Let's revisit this in 3 years and see how much you would give up for Lynch then.

Gotta hope we dodged a bullet. If he becomes Aaron Rodgers......ouch.

19 was pretty rich to trade up to.

I imagine, if Treadwell were gone, MIN would have been a viable candidate at 23, too.

Once the jets didn't select him I thought we had a good chance to jump back in to 26 or 27 and take him. Denver just beat us to the punch.

Might not even know after 3 years. 2nd rd pick Osweiler didn't even sniff playing time until his 4th year. And no one knows yet whether Osweiler can play or not.

I wouldn't have traded up for any of the QBs in this year's draft. But, to be fair, need to give it some time. In the case of this year's draft class QBs, a lot of time. None of them are ready.

Denver has Sanchez, I have a feeling they will be moving to Lynch very soon

I think lynch will be better than Goff and Wentz. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds through their careers.

Did Jerry not say had he known Denver's offer he would have beaten it given the chance?

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

Would have liked to get Lynch. Oh well, still looking forward to today's action.

He was quoted as saying that. I didn't actually hear him say that.

It's much ado about nothing... we can get the 3rd best QB prospect in any draft we want. No need to get in a bidding war over yet another basketball player-sized insta-bust.

I'm glad we didn't give away next year's first. That would have hurt. I wanted Lynch, but not bad enough to do that. Next year's 2nd ... maybe I could have lived with that.
