So which QB do we think will be available at #9?

Geno Smith needs to be paid and Jared Goff isn’t a good enough reason to pass up on a QB if there’s one you like. 

Both of these teams are only picking this high due to La and Denver. This might be their best chance to land a QB without having to trade anything 

I'd say both clubs are 50/50 on taking a QB.  Pete Carroll surely isn't betting on being this close to the top again.  The Lions are more likely to pass than the Seahawks.  Either way, the Texans and Colts are drafting a QB.  It's just a matter of who is left, Levis and/or Richardson.

Justin Fields hasn’t shown progress? 
 

Final 8 games of 2022:

116 of 182 passing for 63.7% completion rate. 
1194 passing, 779 rushing = 1973 yards

18 touchdowns and 5 INTs 

Per game average: 

63.7% Completions

246 Yard of Offense

2.25 touchdowns

.625 interceptions 

Compare it to the first 7 or all of last year. And this is in a new offense with a new coach and Mooney being his only reliable weapon who is a glorified number 2.

Dude Fields just led his team to the 1st overall pick and you think he'd save this franchise? lol

You understand they have zero defense and zero WRs…right ?

I actually watch the bears.  Fields is all they have and in his second different head coach and offense in 2 years 

the new coaching staff did what Wilks does because of it as what they can do is run and keep their defense off the field

All this with practically nothing around him. Well, they have a #2 wr, lol.

Save your breath with these people

Fields is electric. He also is improving passing wise, or seemed to be by eye. But he's always on the run because that OL can't protect him. They really need OL help badly. Regardless of if they move on(bad idea imo but...) Any young QB will struggle passing behind that line.

There's a difference between how many teams need a qb and how many are going to want to draft 1. Last year was a good example that teams are getting wiser on not severely overdrafting qbs even if they need one. Especially this year when you've got a fair number of QBs going into free agent who have a tremendously higher floor than someone like Richardson who is going to be a hope and pray kind of prospect. Derek Carr, Garoppolo, Tom Brady, Geno Smith, Daniel Jones and then you've got your next tier of possible bridge starter/high end backup if you're not in love with the rookies at your draft slot, to include Minshew, Heineke, Darnold, Baker, Bridgewater, Mike White, Andy Dalton, take a project/aim for the 2024 class, similar to what us and Atlanta did last year.

My guess? Richardson will be there. Levis depends on the hype and combine, but has a chance to fall. But I doubt 4 qbs go in the top 8. And if they do, there's going to be a monster prospect at 9.

You guys really think Fitt is going to push all the chips to the middle of the table for one of these QBs?  Might as well start getting used to the idea of having Derek Carr or Daniel Jones now lmao

Why not? He tried with Watson.

Fitterer knows this is his last chance. If he doesn't find a quarterback this off-season, he's toast.

Career Stats Per Game - Fields / Trubisky

Total Yards: 210.2 / 203.5

TDs: 1.3 / 1.3

INTs: 0.8 / 0.7

Comp %: 59.7 / 64.2

Passer rating: 79.7 / 86.4

Win % in Games Started: 20% / 56%

One is apparently a franchise QB and the other, despite having equal or better stats, is considered backup level.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
