yea Lance at 8 is basically my number two most desired scenario behind trading for Watson

Miami and Cincy are our most likely trade partners. We trade with Miami if either Fields or Wilson falls to 3 and we felt strongly they were QB#2 We trade to 5 if we like all the top 4 equally and are ok getting whoever is there. Atlanta is a real key because I truly don't think they are going to take a QB, I see them taking Slater or Sewell. Miami really doesn't want to pick at 3 and will want to trade down but if someone doesn't blow them away with an offer they might get stuck taking Devonta at 3. Cincy makes a ton of sense to trade with because they will get their guy Sewell or Slater at 8 in all likelihood

Chiefs make a lot of sense

oh you were OP, yea he wasn't fired for that man

again this has nothing to do with them losing the last game which is what the OP tried to claim he was fired for.

Still am not seeing how wilson "screams" Mitch lol

been here since 09 sheesh

great post OP only thing I would disagree on is the mitch comp. Mitch never wowed me, some of Wilson's throws wow me I love the Lance bit, I think he has the highest ceiling out of anyone not named Lawrence

this is awesome news

Posted this in another thread We are probably going to have to trade up to GUARANTEE a QB is the pick now, however with the Stafford trade I think it is more likely Lance falls to 8. Who do I think we might trade with? The Bengals at 5 are VERY interesting. Per this draft chart: https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp The capital to move up from 8 to 5 isn't that bad. It would take basically 8th overall, a third and fourth rounder. Let's say the Panthers bet on being better next year, so we trade: 8th, third this year, and a future fourth for 5. Here's why this is interesting. Let's assume no one bites on the Jets mega offer and they take Wilson at 2. The Dolphins again will want a king's ransom. Again if no one bites they're forced to take the guy they want (Devonta) at 3. Falcons are interesting because I really have no idea what they do but it is conceivable they DONT go QB because Matt Ryan's deal is an absolute albatross and the worst I've ever seen. Suddenly, the fifth pick has Fields and Lance (pick your player). Panthers give the Bengals a chance to still get Sewell/Slater at 8 more than the Colts or 9ers would be able to provide. Also you can bet your bottom dollar Fitts is trading back in the second round in this scenario above to reaquire some of the capital it took to move up to 5. Let's say with the WFT who is going to be itching to take their "Greg Little, Everrette Brown" first rounder who is in the second all of a sudden.

same. I'd rather trade up to 3 for Wilson OR trade up to 5 for either Lance or Fields

It's weird how all of this is leaking lol

Radunz in the second might be a way to fix LT

but Brian S told me I was stupid for offering a 3rd and 4th rounder for stafford!

if we do that I am done

Giving up Burns is too much imo. I feel very very highly of Burns enough so to say he would go top 5 overall in an NFL draft of all eligible non QB players.

yea the more I think about it the more I think they could still take one. Goff's deal is basically two years and further the Colts and 9ers would probably jump to 7 to leap frog us to get a QB Unfortunately I think we still have to trade up to GUARANTEE a QB

So the Rams partially had to do this to make their cap work and Goff's contract (While bad, is basically a two year deal) with a reasonable out in the second year with a dead hit of 15 million. I still think the Lions will wait a year to take a QB. They will give Goff his chance this year, if he sucks this year they will take one next year. Basically this is amazing news as the Lions almost certainly aren't using 7 on QB now

In your scenario above is Slater available because that's who I draft. At least you solidfy left tackle. Don't get me wrong this is the absolute nightmare scenario that is looking more and more real daily. There is a VERY real chance all four QB prospects are gone by 8 and we miss out on Watson. I think it's important to remember Fitts press conference. He says there are usually 14-16 guys in every draft who are basically tier 1. After that there is no discernable drop in talent from 16-50 or something in that neighborhood. I don't think he would want to give up a tier one player. Now if we were picking like 18 and all of them were gone I could buy into a trade like that for sure. Tepper wants a QB, unless Rhule/Fitts sell him on one of these secondary guys Jones, Newman, etc. there is no way to guarantee one of them is available in rotund 2. So we're left with two scenarios: we draft Jones at 8 (I might honestly quit this team) or we trade up to #2 or #3 overall. I am actively willing scenario two into the universe.

The only QB I *might* consider outside of the top 4 is Jamie Newman in the second round.

Mac Jones is a less athletic Andy Dalton who played with arguably the greatest offensive weapons in college football history with a stout o-line. People say that LSU offense was transcendent, well that's because Burrow could sling the rock. Jones basically played with an offense full of first rounders not to mention the Heisman winner at W fuging R of all positions. No to Mac Jones before the 4th round and at that point you're just drafting Will Grier.

...but ...but ..but the Huddle assured me there was no way all top 4 QBs were gone by 8 and that win against WFT didn't really matter!

I trust this man fwiw
