4 qbs in the top 10, you forget stuff easy!

I said 4 in the top 7.  Also unless I am drunk the draft hasn’t happened yet.

Lance is no more talented than Darnold. They both have technical flaws to fix.

Trey is more athletically gifted, hands down.  Yes, both need to work on their mechanics, but Lance's upside is much higher than Darnolds.

I am just saying there is a chance.  Lance is a good 2-3 years away from being a quality starter if that.  I like the dude but I am going to trust the staffs judgement.  He is 20.  Played in just a handful of games and that obviously was at the fcs level.   I am just saying it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see them pass on lance at 8.  

Only 2-3 years away if the coaching staff put training wheels on him i.e. being Captain Clipboard.  He only needs to sit a half season or one full season max. Being 3-years out is only if a staff puts him on that time table.

Take a receiver or OL 8 and grab mond in the 2nd.

Get back to me when Lance scores a TD on a 50 yard scramble in the NFL.

Not gonna happen. Athletically, I think he's pretty much a slightly bigger Deshaun Watson. Josh Allen would be a decent athletic comp too IMO. Definitely a plus athlete at the QB position, but anyone expecting Cam or Vick or Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray is gonna be sorely disappointed.

Oh well then. Darnold has done that - so I guess he's a better athlete than Lance, right?

Yeah, he isn't. One lightning in a bottle play doesn't make an athlete. The odds of Darnold pulling off that run was next to zero. The odds of him replicating it again probably are zero.

We get it, man. You're happy with a JAG QB and don't want to take a chance on getting better.

Will do.  I suspect it won't take too long.

Guess Mr. Wrong Atlanta is going to trade back that’s 4 qbs in top 4. Hey maybe next time bud

About the same as putting premium in a Ferrari with no wheels.

Darnold would be better than Bridgewater.

I'm not happy with investing the #8 pick + probably something else on the 4th QB in the Draft (I'm just not sold on Fields or Lance). I'd much rather spend it on a player that's going to improve the team - and keep that other pick to spend on another player that improves the team.

What's that, trading away valuable Draft resources to put a rookie QB behind an awful Oline? Agreed.

The 4th QB picked wouldn't necessarily be the 4th QB on our draft board and the 4th QB picked in this draft class very well could be the 1st or 2nd QB drafted in a lot of other draft classes.
