Started just as many games as Mac Jones. I would argue the gap between his competition was less than what Jones was facing too...

I think picks 3-7 are up for grabs. None of those teams are in a spot where they need a QB and they have too many other needs to ignore. Denver and the Niners are our competition for a trade up. Basically I think it’s Lawrence, Fields at 1 and 2 and we just have to prevent Denver and San Fran from jumping us and taking the other 2. I don’t see WFT trading up to select another QB in Fields or Lance who, one is from the same school as Haskins and two had one great season like Haskins did. They will sign a vet or take someone safe like a Mac Jones. Just my thoughts...

If we get Lance/Fields at 8 and a LT in the 2nd I will be thrilled.

How does his LT look? I’ve heard he might be a 2nd rounder. We doubling up and getting Lance plus his LT?

Do you think all 4 are gone before we pick?

Interesting note, he has the same number of career starts as Mac Jones...

I wouldn’t be completely upset about Mac Attack Jones, but in comparison to Lance....

He will become my draft crush and be there at 8, while we draft Mac...

What time does his pro day start?

In the middle as it has potential, but still some minor concerns. I’m assuming Lance or Fields will make it until 8. Wishing we had lost games last year is pointless and nonsense. If we love a guy we will trade up for him if needed. Aside from Lawrence, I see concerns with every QB in this draft. If we can’t get Watson, I’m for sitting back and seeing who falls to us. If no one does get a LT or trade down.

Somewhere in the middle?

Hopefully he doesn’t throw himself into the top 5...

QB and LT are still the biggest needs. I’m sure will sign a vet WR or draft someone like Rogers from Clemson in the middle rounds. You (likely) won’t find a capable QB or LT in the middle rounds.

I mean it would take 2 firsts and most likely another pick to jump to 2/3 to draft an unknown in Fields/Wilson. 3 firsts is most likely the STARTING point for Watson....

Don’t complain about him complaining about people complaining!

Ronald Curry?? As in THE Ronald Curry?! Also the Falcons need to piss off and keep Matt Ryan. He is their burden to bear...

Did we trade for him yet?

If they are all gone my some miracle we either take an elite LT or trade down. I would be against drafting a project like Newman in the 3rd/4th just to see if we can get lucky and develop him. Worst case is he can be the backup to whomever we draft the next year.

My only guess is they thought getting a starting QB, CB, FS, DT, LT, LG, RG, TE, slot WR, AND both LB positions was a little too much for one offseason, so they held on to Shaq. Do I agree with it? No, but at least he is just overpaid and not a liability on defense.

Jones is tough. Is it his fault his team was loaded? No? Did he thrive with all of that talent? Yes! Record breaking season. He and Lance have the most unknowns, but Lance has the most potential of anyone in the draft. Rhule got a nice up close look at him in the senior bowl. If we draft him, it’s because Rhule thinks he can be the guy.

I guess my thought process (though now proven wrong) was he isn’t making any more total and we would be eating dead money if he is traded which means the team taking him would be responsible for his salary minus the dead money we are eating. This would be assuming a team wanted to give up capital for him, but stated his salary was too high.

Any chance it’s a way of trading him while eating some of his salary because it was too high to move him?
