3 games in 3 years isn’t injury prone. Burrow has missed more on average than Kyler. I don’t want Kyler because I don’t want to pay out these huge QB contracts. We aren’t ready yet for that…

Just leave Sam on the team and eat the salary. We need to own our mistake and not give away assets to move him. He can be our emergency QB.

Wilson’s was insane. He really makes it look effortless… If they can build a team around him NYJ might have something special.

What about a trade down then Howell?

Yeah that’s mostly mental. People calling Howell a Baker clone are referring to his physical ability. They seem like opposites mentally…

Then why laugh at the comment a smart team would draft Howell who you consider a “Baker clone?”

Use multiple firsts to gamble on a QB? We can just draft one at 6 this year.

What’s wrong with Baker physically?

What are we using the cap space for? Didn’t I read we have the most cap space right now in the NFL? We are going to give away a young player to free up Darnold’s money for what?

Curve ball!

I think that scenario would be Pickett.

I think the idea for WIllis is to try to develop him into a Josh Allen. Cannon arm, great athlete and develop him into a pocket QB who can keep the defense honest and extend plays with his legs. I hope no one's plan is to Mike Vick him and have him constantly run/take hits.

I doubt Icky and Neal will be there. If the Lions bite on WIllis or the Falcons trade up for him that leaves just one...

I feel like we have a big 4 based on value/need in Icky, Neal, Willis, Pickett. If they are all gone by 6 we could trade down or look at plan B which is Corral/Cross or of course another position...

I don’t think it’s crazy. I said it’s not a terrible idea. I think we can assume Icky and Neal aren’t there at 6. If they are it definitely changes things depending on how high we are ranking Pickett/Willis/Howell. Cross is a solid prospect, but he has been ranged a bit by scouts/analysts. Most people think Pickett and Willis are first round talents (maybe not top 10), but if you are drafting a QB in the first they are projected to be your franchise’s QB going forward. So if Pickett is ranked 12th, but we take him at 6 because we need a QB and he fits the west coast style we are wanting to play that’s not really a reach to me. BPA is never going to be 100% pure because it would be foolish for a team to ignore weaknesses and draft players they don’t need because they are ranked higher. Also we may view Neal as a pure RT and he already have a great player there.

The Darnold trade was terrible and that should never be justification of why to make a trade. If anything it tells me we shouldn’t trade for other team’s castaways. I don’t want to trade anything for these QBs available by their teams. Just draft one like most teams do. We aren’t going to outsmart another organization and snag a franchise QB from them for cheap. The chances of that happened are slim and we got screwed last year trying to do just that. Just take your chances and draft one.

But he has already had several years in the NFL and can be had for much less? That shows he was overvalued and hasn’t reached his drafted potential. Otherwise he would have played good enough in preseason and his start for GB to move Rodgers or trade him for more than a 4th. It’s like trading for Willis after his has been in the league for 3 years and shown nothing that warrants spending a prime pick for…

It’s not a terribke idea. I still think people underestimate the QB position. A great OL and average QB can make you the Colts missing the playoffs. A great QB and terrible OL can get you to the Super Bowl like the Bengals…

Didn’t realize his was today. Thanks @BurnNChinn!

I don’t know how you could possibly know that.

It’s not a deep class and doesn’t have a top guy, but as he states here, there is still first round talent.

He has a strong arm with a quick release, commands the huddle, and carved up some top SEC defenses. He definitely needs to put on some weight and his attitude might be an issue in the NFL.

And was high on Mond…

It’s considered bad because there us no true number one and a large drop off after 5/6. Once you get past Howell/Ridder there isn’t much NFL caliber guys period. I just don’t think this really affects us where we are picking. It’s a bad year to be picking number 1 or if you are wanting to gamble on a later option QB. Pickett, Willis, and Corral are considered first round talent and Howell/Ridder I’ve seen on the cusp of 1st/2nd.

Willis’s overall college completion % is higher than Russ Wilson’s was.
