At this point I do think we're going to have to still trade up to ensure we get Richardson. At least up to #5 or #6.

My only concern is who the bridge QB is. I would hope they'd look for someone other than Sam Darnold to fill that role. We know how that story ends. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to draft Richardson and sit him for a year while still winning the division this year, but it'll take a better QB than Sam Darnold.

Then again how nice would it be to end up picking high enough next year to draft Brock Bowers at TE for AR to throw to?

It’s definitely overhyped, but size is a factor in scouting. If it wasn’t Young would be the next Luck/Burrow prospect.

If he runs a 4.4 he probably goes 1 overall

If they really are keying in on Richardson, it is because they think they can fix his accuracy issues AND because they don’t think they have a shot at the other guys.

I said a few days ago in another thread, that I think they are looking at a scenario of Carr/Darnold + Richardson/Hooker.

That feels somewhat realistic to me.

What I think ultimately happens is that they will try to trade down a few spots to pick up some extra picks if they sign Carr. They will draft a TE or WR and a developmental qb to sit behind Carr to develop. The order of those selections will depend on how the qb's come off the board.

If we sign Carr I wouldn't mind trading back a bit at all. We could slide back and pick up extra picks and still land a top WR or TE prospect. Honestly with #39 in our back pocket we could probably come out of the draft with top prospects in both position groups.

I'm guessing the staff is thinking the same thing.

Wouldn’t Corral be that dev QB? Why waste a pick on another day 2/3 unknown?

He may be in the mix. I'm going on the assumption they are drafting one as every indication I've seen says they are. I suppose it's in the realm of possibilities that they do forgo drafting one from this class. It certainly could be all a smokescreen.

Wouldn’t shock me at all. I think this top 10 is going to be wild.

I think AR runs 4.59 and a 4.52 40 today.

If he’s under 4.5 at his size that’s going to be a bit crazy.
