Lets say we do not draft one of the top 5 QB's (Lawrence, Fields, Wilson, Lance, or Jones) in this years draft, which of the later tier QB's would you draft that would have the best chance to beat out what we currently have on the roster of (Grier, Walker, Stevens)?

I'd prefer bringing in a veteran QB as the backup to mentor Sam D, and cut the other guys. If we do decide to draft a QB this year as a project or maybe to compete with Sam I would prefer (1) Davis Mills, (2) Kellen Mond. I wouldn't Midn picking up Jamie Newman for a true project to run the practice Squad.

Ideally if we miss the top prospects, we get a vet backup to help our young QB room.  There's so much value after the first round this year in OL and CBs, I don't want us to spend a pick on another project at QB when we just effectively spent next year's 2nd on one.

Davis Mills would be the one I'd be most willing to give a shot. I think we may have interest in Kellen Mond because Rhule recruited him hard at Baylor. Personally I'm not high at all on Mond. Intriguing physical talent, but he's wildly inconsistent and doesn't play to his talent level even when he's "on" IMO.

I would do go for Newman in the 4th-5th but that's about it.

Mond just bugs me.  He is super reminiscent of Kizer. 

Mills, I don't know.  Just don't know much about him but when I looked into his shtick, it seems he just throws a TON of uncatchable balls.

Newman is the one that interests me.  Before he opted out, people were looking at him making a trajectory to a top pick before we really thought of Jones and Wilson so highly.  Lawrence, Fields, & Lance were always in that discussion with Purdy and Newman really being the guys teams  were thinking could make a leap.

Furthermore, that wake offense, ehh doesn't really allow for skills to shine depending on the position.  For Newman, yeah, I'd take a gander.  We could already have Slater-Leathorwood-Samuel Jr. type situation before we even gamble on a QB.  I'm game for it.

Tbh I’d rather draft a late round kicker then wasting another pick on a 2nd or 3rd day project QB. 
 

spend picks on players with an actual shot to contribute. If Sam isn’t the answer, which is a possibility, continue to build out the roster as a whole and trade up for “The Guy”  in 2022 or 2023, once the roster as a whole is more playoff ready, a la the chiefs pre Patty

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
