Let's say the AR trade fell through. What do you think JD's approach would have been?

[TuscanyTile2]

I think we would've gone with Will Levis at QB at #13 (I know he lasted until round 2 but I doubt the Jets could've risked that).  I still think Tippman would've been taken with one of our 2nd rounders.  I could see Cody Mauch (or maybe Brian Branch) with the other.

Probably give more picks to GB.  As was demonstrated. 

[derp]

Go get another veteran. Tannehill, maybe? I think he’s pretty committed to the idea of Zach Wilson developing, so I think he’d go old and try for a reset instead of young.

Don’t think the general plan would’ve changed a lot. With more draft picks he might have moved up for a tackle to ensure he didn’t get jumped. Other than that probably a lot of the same.

[HessStation]

Lamar Jackson would be a Jet if that happened

[JoeNamathsFurCoat]

[doitny]

hard question. 

i heard that next years QB class is supposed to be better than this one so taking a QB would be out. 

i guess get Teddy B or Wentz. not sure anybody else is available for trade. if they are then we should find out soon now that the draft is over.

[Augustiniak]

Great question.  I think they’d have a vet like tannehill.  And the first 2 rounds would have been the same.  Douglas is intent on drafting playmakers.  

[Larz]

Teddy 2 gloves.  Kinda takes the sting out of the trade eh?

For the contract that actually got Lamar happy, I think so too

[sourceworx]

Woody was ready to give the Packers whatever they wanted

[Beerfish]

Joe Douglas would be fine they'd trade and overpay for some vet.

He should have been filing out unemployment benefit papers though.

Even the success of getting Rodgers Douglas totally botched the negotiations from early on.

When the owner makes it clear it's ride or die with Rodgers, JD's negotiating hands were tied.  It was like playing poker with your cards up and the other player's down.  

[sciond]

Strev would be the starter

Do what the Arizona Cards did and acquire as many 2024 picks as possible for a trade up next year for Drake Maye.... lol

Are we actually doing this?

I think we land another vet.

The additional second would have been Brian Branch.

I think the Steelers would have jumped us even if we were at 13. Sounds like they were aggressively trying to jump up. Hard to know though.

I'll make an exception for you.  Everyone else is required to play though.    And answers are needed by end-of-day.

What is the point? Hey, I got one for you, Let's say we took London and Stingley  instead of Williams and Sauce. Is Zach still our starter?

Woody invites JD and Saleh-CS over for dinner.  And makes just one request of them...

i can't help but think douglas already had a plan b and even plan c in mind.  he probably already knew he had enough in draft picks to make the deal happen so there was little chance it would fail.  but if it did fail then he would probably go after a vet like tannehill or even minshew or mariota.  it's doubtful he would try to go into the season with a rookie so that leaves out whatever qb was available at 13. and above all he would make sure hackett was comfortable with the qb choice.

[varjet]

I think he would have picked Jones at 13, maybe Hooker in round 2 along with Tippman and traded for a veteran.

I agree.  He would have taken Levis in round 1 after a trade back and also signed Wentz.

No way!  Balti was matching any offer sheet.
