Excluding the top three...

The vast majority of the future quarterback discussion on this site has centered around three names: Trevor Lawrence (obviously) Justin Fields and Trey Lance.

But I want to ask the draftniks to look beyond those three just a little bit. Primarily because it's not guaranteed that we'll be in position for any of those guys, but also because the style of offense we're running may not necessarily need one of those guys to be effective.

Looking at the kind of system that we're running right now, who else could you see in the Draft that might be well suited to effectively run our offense?

You're going to be looking primarily for traits like accuracy, intelligence and quick decision making. Mobility is also useful in a WCO style system, but it's not a "must have" that the quarterback be a run threat.

Who ya got?

I liked Jamie Newman last year at wake as a guy who could sit behind Cam for a year, but he decided to transfer to Georgia and I was interested to see him there, but he opted out and now I still like him a a bench guy who could sit behind Bridgewater.

Trask also looks solid too though I haven't watched a lot of him.

Yeah, I was looking forward to seeing him play at Georgia too. He pretty much single handedly made Wake Forest competitive. I was looking forward to seeing him with a better overall supporting cast, no disrespect to Surratt who's a helluva WR.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
