It’s considered bad because there us no true number one and a large drop off after 5/6. Once you get past Howell/Ridder there isn’t much NFL caliber guys period. I just don’t think this really affects us where we are picking. It’s a bad year to be picking number 1 or if you are wanting to gamble on a later option QB. Pickett, Willis, and Corral are considered first round talent and Howell/Ridder I’ve seen on the cusp of 1st/2nd. 

IMO, Pickett/Corrall are late 1sts, Willis is a 2nd and the others are 3rd or lower.

Why are we forced to take  2nd / 3rd round quality QBs in the 1st round?

Desperation.

That, plus no second and third round picks.

That's why you pass this year and either pick the best LT on the board or trade down. Snatch a FA QB or a QB for a lower pick trade for a 4th or 5th in next year's draft (or this year if they can get the extra later round picks). Smartest move they can make this year. Unless they want to roll with Darnold or Walker and rinse and repeat.

Simm's opinion(I know he has his own thread) was that Pickett and Corrall were the only 2 that might be worth a first rd pick. He didn't ACTUALLY say this, he just said that the other 3 were not. Also, NONE were top 10 picks.

I admit that I don't know poo about this year's QB class having only seen Howell play in an actual game instead of highlight film.

Sign Brown. Trade back. Acquire a mid round 1st, 3rd and a 2023 1st. Draft a QB somewhere (maybe Howell). Roll with two 1st round picks and a full draft in 2023. If the QB dice roll doesn’t work this year we probably have a top overall 2023 pick and another 1st. Take Stroud…..keep moving. 

Unless we happen to grab a vet QB prior to the draft this is the best option. Get a LT in Brown, grab a QB mid round 1 & draft BPA round 3. You could still possibly get Pickett, Corral, Howell or Willis.

The UNC fans have realized their pathway to Howell is trading down. Regardless, the smartest method of acquiring a quarterback this year is to draft one. Giving up assets like cap and draft picks for someone else's failed project is just a rehash of the last two years.

The hope is they don't fall in love with any of the top 3 QBs.  That way a trade down is risk-free because at least 1 of these guys will be around in the mid-first (if not all of them).

We ain't that desperate.

Rhule will literally lose his job if he spends a Top 10 pick on a career back up.

Versatile, you say?
