So I want to make sure I am on the same page.

We want a franchise QB.  We just want either a young vet.  Someone 25ish or younger. Or a draft pick. We just want to give up absolutely nothing to get him. I think we've been using the Madden trade function too often.

Cam?

mock should put the compensation it took the Panthers to get to #2.    Which is crazy value.   

I think #4 is as high up as I would go. 

Well you know we aren’t trading with the Falcons and we want to jump ahead of them so it’s going to have to be #3.

and let’s not forget the game was scheduled just a few days before it was to take place, and BYU had to travel across the country so they basically had one day to prepare.

Then imagine trading up for a player not as talented as him. 

It's easy to look talented when you're playing against high schoolers.

Name the list of players going to the NFL from BYUs opponents.

How many NFL players was Wilson playing with? The last time a BYU Qb put us similar numbers to Wilson was a decade ago and that’s without his rushing numbers.

100% not the point.  He's still playing against significantly better competition than Lance.  It's not even a discussion.

BYU might as well be. They don’t play nobody. Lost to fuging Coastal Carolina. 

At least Coastal was a ranked team and a division 1 program. As others have pointed out, that game was scheduled the week off and there was no preparation time. Additionally, Wilson looked really sharp in that game even though his OL had him running for this life constantly. 

Regardless of BYU's competition (which is certainly better than North Dakota state's)...

BYU - division 1 program

North Dakota state - division 2 program

How many National titles does Wilson have?   Undefeated seasons???  Pick-less seasons????  Anything??????

I guess pretty much every draft guru is wrong then when you consider Wilson is overwhelming mocked higher than Lance?

Also, not sure if you followed it closely, but North Dakota state has been a powerhouse lately in Division 2 football. Don't pretend Lance has brought them to relevance.

As always, depends on what we give up.  Trey Lance scares the absolute crap out of me.  I really don't want us to settle for him.

No real difference than Josh Allen out of a smaller school in Wyoming, and he was 7th overall...Baker and Donald went ahead of him, then Rosen at 10. 

That's when you have to believe you have the staff in place to 1) develop, and 2) put real weapons, and OL around a young QB talent to let him mature. 

If we could keep our picks, and Lance was available at 8 I'd be happy, his stock would be higher if he'd had a 2020 season. Elite athleticism, and arm talent to go with our full slate of picks allows us to trade back in the subsequent rounds with more opportunities to land some quality rookies.
