The ideal scenario is, of course, Lance or Fields fall to 8. But I think that's really unlikely to happen. Allbright is reporting Lance is going #4 overall to Atlanta. SF would love a chance to get Fields and would def trade up for him.

If we're sold on a particular prospect, I'm all for it. Yes, there are four very good QB draft prospects available but history says they almost certainly won't all pan out. Trust your evaluation.

That's just it. We have no idea what our actual QB evaluation will be. If we trade up, we'll have some idea.

Really bad idea I’m not trading up for second or third best qb. To give up that much capital for an unknown is never smart imo. 

Texans and Chiefs traded future 1st round picks to trade up for Watson and Mahomes respectively.

Yep I know that, those qbs were better than the ones in this draft. If it wasn’t for teams wanting qbs so bad the ones after Trevor wouldn’t even be thought of in the top 10. I’m just saying I don’t think these qbs this year are worth that. JMO

"Never" is a bad take. The draft is all about risks. It all comes down to how much you trust your organizational evaluation. If your scouting department, coaching staff and GM all think Player X is "the guy" then maybe that big price to go get him isn't outlandish. 

But, you are then subject to the backlash if that ends up whiffing. We just got rid of a front office guy that had a lot of "bold" takes on prospects. It didn't work out too well.

Were they as PROSPECTS though? It's easy to say that knowing what they turned out to be in the NFL.

Watson showed the ability to play some real hero ball at Clemson but he was kinda like Fields in that sometimes he looked like the best player in college football while in other games he just looked flat out off. Mahomes had tremendous raw talent but he needed a lot of work from a footwork perspective and their were a lot of question marks about the offense he came out of. Those guys were good prospects but far from slam dunks.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
