Who wanted to trade up? For quite a while it was assumed he would be the one quarterback that could fall.

Greg Frye was one of the main ones.

The Pope is always perfectly healthy until he's dead.

Likewise, coaches always 100% believe in a guy right up till they cut or trade him.

Not really. It depends upon the circumstances.

Who should we draft at 9?

Depends on who's there, and how you graded him. 

As for me, I think you have to go BPA, but with one caveat if you're in QB purgatory like we seem to be in: if it's close, I'd likely go with the QB, even if that's not my usual modus operandi. But, it would have to be close.

As for this draft specifically, outside of the top 3, I just can't see us drafting a QB at nine.

I think we take AR or trade up for Stroud if he drops to around 3-5ish. That’s of course assuming Stroud declares.

I don't believe that we will draft Anthony Richardson at nine. His development will take way too much time to spend that type of draft compensation, and as such I just can't see any sensible GM drafting him in the top 10 (or top 20, really).

If we hire Johnson I would bet anything we take ar at 9 if we don’t trade up.  The timeline matches perfect.

We'll see. I think Johnson is as good as ours. I don't believe we'll spend that type of compensation on AR though. He's way too raw.

He is super raw but as I sit here and watch Allen damn that would be fun to have on my team.

Nate Sudfeld is Detroit’s backup and is a FA this offseason. I wouldn’t be surprised if we sign him for cheap abs draft one at 9.

Sudfeld or Darnold...I'd say Darnold wins that.

If we're talking about backup / bridge QB types, would anybody be hugely surprised if Johnson decided to give Darnold a shot?

Sudfeld knows his offense and would be much cheaper. It just depends on how confident Johnson is in him. Darnold was a Rhule reclamation project. Looking decent in Wilk’s power running offense doesn’t really prove much unless Johnson is wanting to run something similar. New coaches like to bring in some of their own guys.

I wouldn’t be surprised either way. Johnson has no ties to Sam and Sudfeld would know his offense/how he wants to run things more than any QB not named Goff. Plus he will be pretty cheap…
