Yes.  Better question is what will the huddle reaction be if we trade the 8th pick before it's our turn and one of the huddles top 4 QB's is still on the board?

I would take it hard.  I would need some consoling from fellow Huddlers.

It all hinges on the Jets at #2.  Nobody is trading up that high and if the Jets actually do trade back, they obviously have made their choice sticking with Darnold.  You don't defer on the remaining pick of the litter if you are serious about getting the best one.  If the Jets roll with Darnold at bare minimum, one of the remaining 3 QBs will be there at #8.  Now, will it be the Panthers preferred guy?  Who knows?  I know which of the three I want.

I bet we have a choice between fields, lance and maybe Wilson now.   I am still not convinced atl is taking a an and the jets may roll with darnold 

If there are no trades, then maybe.  Who can afford to move up to the top 4? A team at #7-12 or so.

The Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, Bengals, Eagles, and maybe even the Lions could trade out-giving a QB starved team the slot.

The Jets are the key. Will they go all in on Watson, or will they give Darnold a chance under the new coaching staff.

1 - Jets roll with Darnold, they stay at 2 and pick Sewell or Chase/Smith. 

2 - Jets roll with Darnold, and trade back. This would net them a 2nd this year, and another 1st next year. That would give them (2) 1st and (3) 2nds this year, and they would have (3) 1st next year. If Darnold works out, that is a lot of holes they could fill. If Darnold doesn't work out, they would have ammo to move up for Rattler or Howell next year.

3 - Jets trade Darnold, and draft a QB with the 2nd pick.

4 - Jets trade Darnold, and go all in on Watson with the 2nd pick being part of the deal. Houston then sits and takes QB at 2.

5 - Unlikely...Jets trade back, add a 2nd this year, and a 1st next year. Then having gathered more picks, they go all in on Watson without losing all of their draft picks. Houston probably would not like this.

I will probably laugh my ass off at the reactions.  But I do not take this stuff seriously.  

I am wrong about the draft (when a few years have passed) that I do not pretend to know more than the team scouts.  I was wrong about Cam, Luke, CMC.  Right about Thomas Davis (good pick--I defended him) and Kelvin Benjamin.

I vote we hang tight at 8. If one of the top 4 fall to us we grab them. If not, we take BPA and go for Newman in the 2nd.

I predict that there will not be much difference between Lance and Jones. 

Lawrence:  Top pick

Wilson: Top 3 pick

Fields:  Top 5 pick

Lance: Top 10 pick

Jones: Top 15 pick.

Who would that be?  With all the uncertainty of grooming a young QB, teams with even average starters aren't going to send some sweetheart package for an unknown commodity.  That's the reason the Stafford-Goff trade was so eye-popping.  Two guys that are known commodities in the League.  I don't buy it for one second.  Maybe if the Jags somehow were shopping the #1 pick ( for Trevor) I could see someone packaging something ridiculous, but not for any of the other three.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
