Crazy new mock from Zierlein

[ladypanther]

Has Atlanta giving us their #4 pick so we can get a QB. 

Pick
4

Carolina Panthers
(via Falcons)
TRADE

Trey Lance
North Dakota State · QB · Sophomore (RS)
Matt Rhule is building for the future and a great way to do that is grabbing a dynamic talent who can sit early on. Moving up -- from No. 8 into the Falcons' No. 4 slot in this exercise -- might be the only way to get him.

[Mr. Scot]

That's...hard to imagine.

"Seems unlikely" just doesn't quite describe this.

Atlanta isn't trading us their pick without us giving up an inordinate amount of capital. In short, we'd have to drastically overpay to get #4. It would literally be cheaper to trade for #3.

Right....does he even know the teams are in the same division??  No way they are helping a division rival get their QB.

Giving up a hell of a lot of Draft resources to a division rival for a QB who's at least a year away from seeing the field.

Seems unlikely.

So, who the hell is Zierlein, and why should I care what this obvious fool is saying again?

 

(Not a shot at LP in the slightest. I'm sure you put it here for us to be shocked by and subsequently laugh at this clown, just no idea who this person is)

Zierlein's been doing this for a while. He's generally pretty good.

This one, though? Eeeehhh...

Cool, I stopped being lazy and just figured it out. Linky below:

None of their 'draft analysts' have ever really impressed me, but this one does make for some interesting and laughable material for sure. Thanks LP!

[Raskle]

And here's the video explaining why...sort of.

Basically just states we're building out the process and trading up to grab a QB makes sense w/TB still here so they can sit the new guy a year. Doesn't really explain why Lance over Fields or Wilson though (or why Atlanta would be stupid to trade to a div rival), which is kind of a big portion of what an analyst is supposed to do. So, a mix of unexplained conclusion and blatantly obvious takes.. not really impressed.

This is right. This year gone full overload with trying to get the most bizarre mock draft for clicks. They are not my thing, even the best mock experts get about 7 picks right and they are normally in the first ten picks. This year, just pushes me away much harder. 

[CRA]

And Fields went at #9? 
 

no thanks.  Lance is going to have to sit and we might as well trade Joe Brady if we are going the Lance route.
