Quinnen Williams, DT Alabama

Yes. What difference does it make? They have the money. It only would become an issue 4 to 5 years down the road.

Regardless of who they draft, Buckner is still getting extended.

I just don't get that argument. QW would be on a rookie deal anyway. So if you wanted to move on from Buckner in 6 years so be it. But that doesn't mean we would need to trade him we have plenty of cap space left and Staley is gonna retire soon.

It's the lamest attempt I've read so far as to why we should draft QW and not Bosa...we don't want to pay a 25 yr old DT who turning into a f**king stud lol what?

Like you said he's getting paid and playing in SF for a while regardless of who we draft.

One of the main arguments for drafting Williams is that he and Buckner would potentially form the most dominant interior in football. You're not really getting better by drafting Williams only to trade Buckner.

Yeah you'll save money but what are you going to use that for? Oh yeah, turn around and overpay for some other team's player. Its the ultimate #Madden logic.

It's dumb as s**t, you're not improving the team and yes it's all about having those two coming up the middle...you know where I stand, but I won't deny buck and Q would be filthy next to each other.

Your right, NY - the haters are throwing s**t at the wall hoping something sticks.

You are getting better because you upgrade the position. qW is better than Buckner and it's not even close. You get better inside. He will make thomas better alongside him because they both, along with AA, have quickness that Buckner simply will never have.

At the same time you avoid having to extend a massive contract to a player that, while good, will not make the kind of impact that returns the appropriate value for the contract he will demand. I don't expect the majority would understand that kind of move, but lynch will not draft QW and extend Buckner, if he does he's toast.

It's possible he already tried to send Buckner to the giants based on rumors. Maybe testing the waters and if the temperature is right plunge but needs to get enough return to get good press because the majority of fans would be shocked. If he doesn't get the right return he will pass on qw and take josh Allen or trade out is my guess.

If we get QW doe...man I hope we ain't talking bout an omen or something here

I know I know, but a combine ain't no NFL joint practice (IN MILE HIGH)...you guys saw him take breaks in that championship game they got wasted in vs Clemson.

Are you implying that you think QW will die in our joint practices with the Broncos if we draft him?

That's the last thing I want.

He's a huge guy (about the same as TH), there's proof that he got winded in games (not just the Clemson game). There has to be some concern about that...playing up in Denver is no joke. Teams either go there close to game time and try to play before the altitude gets em or they go days early and try to adjust.

I'm not precise about QW's condition. Is anyone, in here (beside watching him in a combine)? What about the breaks he had to take from getting double teamed a lot... he'll get double teamed a lot in the NFL against bigger, stronger, faster veterans (than what he faced in college while panting)?

I don't even think it would be an issue then. That's how much confidence I have in Paraag with the salary cap.

Sign Buck to a 5 year extension - by the end of his contract it will be time to extend QW.

I thought you'd bring this up a couple weeks earlier when the preseason news came out.

Yup and honestly after 4-5 years - most contracts to great players look like bargain.

This. Plus, the salary cap is just going to keep increasing.
