Lance at #8?

I was really hopeful he would be there at #8. But all indications are that there will be a feeding frenzy in the draft with an unprecedented number of teams looking for a QB. Our biggest risk is someone trading up to grab Lance who I think is the most promising prospect after Lawrence. 
 

Am I overreacting?

I would be all for Lance, but he will probably sit and refine his game in his first season.... this board will implode if we draft him and he's behind Bridgewater week 1.... Even if it's the best for him long term.

Not me and I'm arguably one of his biggest supporters here.  In fact, I WANT him to sit at least the first half of the season and will be fine with the entire season.  The one qualifier being he gets some game reps in clean up duty or if we're getting blown out.  I would prefer he gets some spot duty before assuming the helm.

I would expect him to sit and hope that TB would play well as long as he could.

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.

I agree, but I see this year as being different--for example, I read a Colts site and they are rumored to be targeting Fields.  I think the Panthers might move up.  Denver, SF--a lot depends of free agency.  I think some teams (like the Panthers) prefer an unknown commodity over the known commodities that they have or will be available in free agency.  Gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.

With advance football analytics and me watching hours of college football film which I get paid because of working with stats I’d say it goes Lawrence which is nothing but amazing , possibly the best qb I have ever seen , then Mac jones which is a poor mans tombrady , Big Ben and Sam Bradford all in one , then tre lance which I love as well , but he has a bust rating of 55% which is a couple less than Justin fields which is the riskiest player in the draft , Zach Wilson is no doubt a bust

Wait, are you now pretending you are some kind of analyst? You need to understand we all know that's not true.

    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
