Only QB I could stomach at #6.

We’ll meet every potential 1st round QB even if it’s a smokescreen.

Why would it be a smokescreen?

You really see Matt Rhule taking a guy that needs a few years before he'll be ready at #6?

We want every team to think we are looking at a QB even if we have our sight set on an OL so we could possibly get a QB in love team to offer us a trade or maybe even trade past us dropping one more potential player to us. Same with the OL talk if we really want a QB. Gives us more potential trades. Better than telegraphing the move. 

I get the trade past us but nobody is going to trade with us because they think we like a qb.  That literally doesnt make sense.   I also think it would cost too much for another team to move to 4 or 5 even if its someone like Denver or Wash.  They would have to give up a lot to move up from 9 or 11.   I dont think there is a qb that someone will fall in love with so might as well just hold what you got.  I just dont see any trades happening around our position.

 

Maybe Willis maybe if he blows the doors off the combine but even then his tape is his tape and that is a tough one to overcome.  Then we get to pickett.  You see anyone trading up for him?  I sure as hell dont

Sorry but I wouldn’t take this guy at 6, has Trey Lance written all over him

Same.  For me, its Willis, an OT in the first.  That's it.

Fair or not, the talk about Lance still not being ready is likely to hurt his stock.

At least Malik played a full season of football last season.  And Liberty is technically in the big boy college subdivision.

True, but we also got to look at how he played against the "big boys".

It wasn't pretty.

I would be more surprised if we didn't meet with him.  There is absolutely no reason NOT to do so.

[Brooklyn 3.0]

He's a more talented Armanti Edwards. He's a less talented Jalen Hurts. He's not even on Lamar Jackson's level. I expect he goes late 1st. But if we draft this gamble at 6 ... woooo lordy.

I actually see Matt Rhule taking a guy who will never be ready at #6.

On the First Draft podcast Todd McShay said he has heard that teams will just start him early and work through it.  Teams appear to think he can handle the curve mentally so why not.  Interesting with him coming from Liberty but he has some maturity and mental make up that is impressing people.

I wouldn’t take him at six if I were the GM but I wouldn’t hate it if we did

No clue how we fix OL at that point but we would probably throw some big money around in FA
