Makes sense to me.

It's going to take 1st and more to get him, that's capital we will be using on a QB.

I don't really see Jacksonville parting with Minshew. They get one of the best backups in the NFL on an insanely good contract. It would likely take a 1st round pick.

Houston might be the surprise team here however

Probably Bears or Colts will get him. Haven't heard anything about us.

Seems like a possibility if Watson falls through.

Don't be so surprised...

This is not going to happen. If we do not land Watson we will trade up for a QB or find some other QB on the market.

I have heard absolutely nothing about us and Wentz. I have heard everything about us and Watson. We are as all in as all in can get, and Watson wants to be here. It's either us or he stays a Texan.

OP is 100% correct in doing this kind of research, scouts and front offices do the exact same thing, only they have people who are professionals at doing just that. This extends into interviews with the team as well.

This is correct.

I think Teddy has a pretty cut friendly contract, or he could be apart of a trade in which we acquire a QB (cough Watson cough)

I doubt there is any validity to the Cam thing. If anything the Bears pursue a guy like Matt Ryan or Taysom Hill.

I still think priority #1 is Deshaun Watson. Though I do see Mitch Trubisky (ew) and Jimmy G as possibilities. IMO it's Watson or trade up to #2-#3 at this point.

I can drop some buzz I hear, but it probably isn't any different from what you will here on ESPN. The draft is our primary focus.

It's all good, I don't take it personally or anything lol

If for whatever reason Panthers cannot acquire one of the QBs on the market, I would expect them to move up to #2 or #3 for Wilson/Fields/Lance, been saying this for a while and fully believe we are all systems go. I really think the front office sees Wilson as that dude. Deshaun Watson being priority #1 obviously.

If I had to guess Darnold stays in NY Tua stays in MIA Ryan stays in ATL DET drafts a QB Wentz/Hurts stays in PHI I do think a team not including us of course, is going to trade up into the top 10 for a QB fully expect Lawrence Wilson Lance Fields All to be in the top 10.

Lance's Ceiling / Lawrence's Ceiling Lawrence's floor Lance's Floor

Not sure how you come away with Mitch from Wilson. I see more Mahomes in Wilson than Lance.

Could absolutely trade up to 3 for Fields or Lance if the Jets do indeed take Wilson.

Could be in the Jordan Love range.

Highly unlikely.

Kellen Mond sent his draft stock through the roof during senior bowl week fyi.
