Could be Mond, could be Trask (yes, he had a bad bowl game with all of his WRs sitting out the game)--and that player may not be the guy in 2021. I think they will be playing in 2022 and 2023. These guys can be coached and the system is so important. Not my first choice, but if you go back and look at drafts in the past, how many QBs (if you are honest) would you have taken are now "Busts?" In the Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, Darnold draft, how many people would honestly say they would have selected Allen?

First, Mond and Newman are not in the same class. Mond's skill set is off the charts. Just has not put it all together, yet. Can Brady help with that? I dunno, but I do not know enough about QBs to write off players with skills before they ever played a down.

It was tough to watch, but if we upgrade the OL, throw in a healthy CMC, we will be better for the time being--enough to keep us out of the top 10 in the draft and playoffs at the same time. It is the kiss of death to be mediocre. Financially (Thanks Marty!) we are into him for big bucks in 2021 if we start him or release him, and he is currently (MAYBE) the best QB on the roster. Winning culture. We could go with that and wait until the draft to see what falls out of the tree--will current QBs be cut or traded? Who best fits our system? Me? I am going after Minshew with a 2022 second rounder to see if Jax will trade. Why would they not? He is a cheap backup for a season, but he is getting benched by a college player.

I would definitely trade back--but I will speculate that there is a chance that we are higher on Lance than the NFL scouts--wonder what the odds are that Lance slips to us? I might say, 30-40%--if trading were not allowed, I might say higher.

I am responding before reading the rest of the thread---nice topic and I agree--especially if that QB would be the fifth QB taken in the draft. The stats that show a 21-year-old QB coming in and saving an organization with many holes and needs indicated that the odds of becoming a bust are LIKELY. The fact that a few vets will "shake out" is probable. Some simply need a new scenerio and more support. If we build a good OL and add a solid TE, for example, any QB that everyone calls a bust (Darnold, Minshew, Goff, etc. stand about as much of a chance of becoming legit here as a FCS QB with 1 year under his belt would. I encourage open minds--if you think Darnold sucks, he may---but his coaches and supporting cast was abysmal. Give him a line, some WRs, a CMC---things might have been different.

MHS Predicts: So here is how this baby is going down: MARK MY WORDS! 1. Lawrence QB Jags 2. Wilson, QB Jets 3. Jones, QB, 49ers 4. Pitts, TE, Falcons (don't call me crazy--he would keep Ryan young for another year or two) 5. Panthers, Fields, QB (trade) 6. Broncos, Lance, QB (trade) 7. Lions Chase, WR 8. Bengals Sewell, OT 9. WFT, Parsons, LB (trade)

I care a bit. Its not a good look.

Come on, Y'all. Its March.

Well that stings. You know, until the Roger calls out the Jets pick, I would remain humble. You guys are notorious for having blank, shocked looks on your faces after the pick is announced.

They WILL try.

Now think about this, gridiron scholars: Trask had a bad bowl game, but most of his offensive weaponry bailed on him. Is some team gonna roll them for him? Could be be the sixth first round QB? Seriously--we need to take a peak at the unloved veterans, the QBs left behind. Minshew, Garappalo (NE), Darnold, and Goff if they take one at #7. Imagine taking a T and CB in the draft and not worrying about a QB? We have the cap room...

I think you have to wait until we see what Atlanta does. We may not want to move up for Lance.

he processes quickly, he fits their system. When on the big stage, he produced. Why not? Lance is POSSIBLY the most overrated QB in this draft,and I think he could be good if developed properly.

Those trembling lips--such realism. How did you know? I wonder if my true identity has been compromised.

Believe, Shocker. You gotta believe.

If this means Miami at #6 (Philly's spot) is not taking a QB, nor is Cincy at #5, then Atlanta and Detroit are our only obstacles, barring no trades.

This reminds me of another Jones going early in the draft, way earlier than people thought.

I been telling you nice lads that Jones is in play. You poo'ed me. Poo'ed me I say. Well, who is pooing now?

This could be a blessing---wonder if the fans that drafted Mitch Trubiski were elated after the trade up?

I see SF taking fields--more durable than the frail Garrapolo. Lance? Not as durable. They are tired of injured QBs

Don't poo me for this, but a T or stud CB in round 1 and trade up for Jones in late round 2 (if he falls) is possible. Some say Lance will fall.

You ever heard of "between the hedges?" (that's all I got)

Not the way a hedge fund manager thinks.

Maybe this means we are getting Watson.

QBs taken later could be good--Dak, Wilson, Brady, Brees, Carr, Cousins---it could be a good move. He has the skills--just needs consistency etc.
