Here are some points I have been trying to make but people want the impatient approach to the QB position. It is easy to say Trever>Wilson>Fields>Lance>Jones. So when you say, "I want Lance, he is better than Jones" you are absolutely right. You earn a cookie. However, when your list is formulated accurately, it should look like this: Trevor (not for sale) minus 2 star Panthers and your next 2 first and second round picks; Wilson minus 1 star Panther and your next 2 first round picks; Fields minus the 2021 first round pick and a second rounder + a first rounder in 2022; Lance minus the 2021 first round pick and the second rounder; Jones PLUS a third round pick. That is the only way you can look at this. So now consider that it is probably that 2-3 of these QBs will fail, based on history. Take Fields for example, and now compare him to Jones. Fields is still a better athlete and he has better physical tools. In the NFL, does that make him a better QB? Historically, no. So now ask, "If Fields does not work out, what have I lost?" 4 potentially high-level players. Now ask, "If I trade back with Dallas (for example) for a third rounder and take Jones and he does not work out, what have I lost?" Really, nothing beyond a wasted opportunity to land a top 10 QB. you gained a backup QB (we really do not have one) and the third rounder can be used to move back up into the second round for an OL or a CB. You still have your first rounder for 2022. So that is why this is not that simple. I think we move up, hopefully with the Jets, but if we stay put or even move back and take Lance or Jones, I get it. If the dice don't feel right in your hand, don't throw them. Jones is the fifth-rated QB on the board and there is separation between him as a prospect and at least 3 of the others. I get that. Some Huddlers are so concrete--it has to be simple--black/white, cold/hot, etc. so they can develop an argument. Life aint that way--there are variables, and I rarely see them mentioned--there is also probability and outcome, and I see no focus on the concerns some have for a QB that have sent many other future superstars to the bench for good. But the likelihood that that is the feeling in 2 years is unlikely. There are so many variables that must be considered, which is why this is an exhaustive process with a 50% success rate.

I will be here all week. Try the veal.

Dont forget there needs to be a pool of about 2-3m for signing players during the season

If we somehow sign Watson, do we remove the "Keep Pounding" from inside his jersey collar?

So he no longer goes by Efe?

Once they get passed Watson (assuming that they have) I think we will aggressively move up. I think it will be Wilson or Fields, but I am not as high on Fields as I was earlier.

Can you not draft the rookies in late April and sign them after June 1? I really do not know.

Somehow, we are like $28m under the cap, according to Newton (SI). We need a CB so that we can look for a T in round 2 or in the event we have to trade the second round pick. Time to do something. I think we land one of the free agents by Thursday at the latest.

See? I hope we have dispelled that myth.

Me too. I don't think it happens either. I'd feel a lot better about T if that were the case.

Like arguing with a toddler at the ice cream truck-it will never end.

And that was from Cap hell--bunch of one-year contracts

Final flash of wisdom for this thread today: Is Cam going to play RT and Moton LT? Discuss.

SO you go into round 3 and day 3 hoping to find a player who could possibly compete in 2022.

Waiting until week 2 of free agency has bargains.

Until we sign a top CB, I am worried that we will have to use the second rounder on a CB.

People do not get how freakishly fast these athletes are. I played TE in college and ran a 4.8 (in 1923-5--during the Calvin Coolidge administration) and that was fast. Now a pocket passing QB with little "athleticism" is running a 4.86. Must be the steroids in the Food Lion Chicken. How often does a QB sprint in a football game? How often does anyone really sprint? WRs maybe? That is about it.

Davis averaged 3.9 yard per carry and had over 1000 all-purpose yards in 2020. Behind that OL, that is not bad. He just turned 28 and has not been ridden very hard in the NFL to date--could be a good signing.

Felton is a slash (RB, slot). I could see him coming in and helping.

We have Cannon, Bonnefon (good fit in this scheme), and Rodney Smith and CMC. I do not see a need for another RB right now.

I have him listed at 275---depends on the site, I suppose. On passing downs, he will move inside like Obada did

I think we will target Fields, which means Miami trade, but I did read somewhere that the Jets are not married to the #2 pick--so for a king's ransom....the difference between #2 and #3 is substantial, so you better like Wilson a lot more than Fields to do that.
