Trade Down for Ridder?

I think Ridder as a project has every bit as much upside as any other QB in the class. I’m becoming more and more convinced that we’ll do something like this and trade down. 
 

If we traded down with a team like the Packers, Chiefs, Titans, Bills we could pick up a 3rd this year and a 1st next year. Sign Armstead and I’m fine with that.

I am 100% down for trading back in the 1st. Except not to draft Ridder. There's another QB who is flying under radars because his team underperformed, but he's a future star in the NFL.

No one outside of the Tarhole homer crowd thinks this guy is any good, and rightfully so. He’s the next Ryan Fitzpatrick.

This is my ideal scenario. Ridder is more pro ready than Pickett IMO. 

What is Ridder really good at doing?  Arm?  Athleticism?  Accuracy? Everything is so average, even compared to Pickett.  Sorry I don’t see anything at all that tells me he is a starting QB in the NFL.  He didn’t really play well against anyone except maybe Notre Dame.  His accuracy dropped big time against good defenses.  He isn’t good.

It felt like while I was watching him that everything was scripted to work in his favor…and even then he was average.  He won’t make it maybe even as a backup.

If we trade down that’s who I want. If we stay at 6, I’d prefer Willis.

What would be the mood if we traded down into late teens/early 20s, added a 2nd and 3rd, and took Ridder? 

I've convinced myself I can live with this idea over taking Willis/Pickett at 6.

Let's seperate the plan from the player.

The plan I like. Trade down into the early 20s while we pick up 2nd and 3rd round pick. Then draft a QB with either our 1st or 2nd round pick. Love it. Count me in.

As to the specific player of Ridder, I have no clue. I've missed on so many rookies over the years, I don't even pretend to know who is going to be good anymore.  Whoever we pick, I hope they become a great QB.

One you don’t compromise a QB selection based on picking up more draft picks if they think Malik Willis upside is to great to pass on then he is the pick at 6 cause he very well could be gone at 8 or 9

we have a left tackle in Brady had really high pff number when he played LT so i think Willis will be the pick at 6 o-line is set up for Sam darnold to have success for half the season while Willis gets his feet under him. However I do believe he will catch on quicker than most think he’s very smart humble kid.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      The vast majority of mocks from the past week suggests Sadiq, then Freeling, McNeil-Warren, Cooper Jr   https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/teams/2026/carolina-panthers

      Yup. Hopefully  Brandon adds some muscle this off-season but he'll probably be resting his shoulder for a while so I doubt it. Miles should probably be replaced but I don't think we find a better 4th option to be honest. So is it better to add depth along side williams and Coby or try to upgrade the 4/5 . I think adding depth will probably be more beneficial than trying to upgrade starters and bank on Brandon and Kons continuing development. I really don't think they are going to make the playoffs unfortunately. I think the big hole they put themselves in has exhausted them. They've been amazing since January 1 but I think it's come at a cost and their legs are gone.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      The issue is the predictability of it all in a Bryce Young led offense. In 4th down attempts the Jets were at 41 and we were at 40. And we were 4th in conversation %. We were 25th in the league in 3rd down conversion because we faced so many 3rd and longs in part due to playcalling on 1st and 2nd down but more largely due to the limitations that cannot be overcome.  And people want us to spend another 1st rounder on WR as if it is going to magically give Bryce physical talent he will never possess. It's a shame we cut off our own nose just to put ourselves in this frustrating predicament.
