Both ATL and Det have qb's on the books for 2 more years.  It would be insanely stupid to draft a qb in the top 10 and essentially bench him for 2 seasons especially considering Ryan is playing well and Goff was the #1 pick and probably just needs different coaching,

That's not relevant at all.

In the case of ATL, they have a very old QB on the books, and a very expensive QB at that.  Draft Trey Lance, give Matt Ryan a year to teach and then cut.  Poof.  Trey Lance gets the time he needs and Atlanta get the QB they will need within the next couple years.

For Detroit, it's harder to pinpoint.  Yes, they have Goff, but do they believe in him?  I'm not sure they do.  As a Panthers fan, I certainly *hope* they do, but there are a lot of question marks around Goff.  Once again, same rule applies.  They can have their current QB teach for a year or even two, and then cut ties.  Fields as a regional player or Lance as a developmental player would go down well in the Motor City.

Not relevant?  Say what?  They cannot just cut Ryan next year.  Look at his cap hit.  It doesnt work like that.   By reworking his deal they essentially are making one more run with him and Julio and I would bet dollars to donuts they either trade out or go best defensive player.  No way they go qb and sit him for 2 years picking at 4.

Brings me back to my original question though - who were they so concerned about taking Jones before the 12th pick?

Daniel Jerimah talks about this a bit in the new podcast.   basically says they didnt trust jones to get past Carolina.

They should, but they are sending out QB vibes.  I really do not get it--the #4 QB in this draft is not worth the #4 pick, and they have many other needs and a serviceable QB.  I am going to make a longshot prediction and say the take Chase WR or Sewell T

Yeah, that's my worst case scenario.  Falcons drafting a QB at 4 and he ends up owning us for a decade, while we're stuck in QB purgatory.  I honestly think Ryan has a lot left in the tank, but with the new coach/GM it's hard to tell what they're thinking.  I still think they go defense, but no one really knows anything.  These top 10 picks are going to be intriguing
