If those guys are that good, no amount of picks will move a team to trade it away.

ngl, having those two draft-eligible next season makes the idea of rolling with Matt Corral and taking BPA at #9 (or trading back) just a palatable as trading up to #3 and grabbing one of the top 3 guys from this year

He might be able to practice in July.  You think Reich is rolling with that?

We are not bad enough to get the top 2 picks.

 

The teams with the top 2 picks are not trading it if these QB's are what you think they are.

 

Nothing to discuss here.

You take the next best QB.  Next year won't have the cliff after QB3/4 like this year. It will be more evenly staggered, like actual mid-to-late round 1 QB prospects.

There's 4 of those this year

We are not going to lose enough games to get the first overall pick we can't even get into the top 3. We've had our chances the last 3 years either this year or next we are going to have to make a bold move. And hyping next years class is just more of the same. When next year rolls around the hype will start to slow like always then the usual people will get cold feet again. The front office can't operate that way.

No clue. We'll see what the future holds.

I'm just happy that we've got multiple paths to success. Some folks might feel otherwise, be it because there's a particular path they don't like or one that they're passionate about the team taking. Would rather enjoy the ride than gripe about thinks outside of my control.

It would be silly to tank this season for one of those two guys. Unless we really poo the bed early on. I do think it’s possible Tampa is so bad they get one of these kids next year. And that would suck.

Do you realize we all thought CJ Stroud was the sure fire savior last year and reason we all (or most) didn't want to draft Pickett? Most of us have two balls here but neither are crystal. It's time to nut up and draft a QB, develop him, and move forward like successful franchises do. Stop being scared.

If they're the level of prospects people think they are then the only way to land one will be to suck your way into a top two pick because Amy team that does won't be trading out of it.

Next year's class is always better for the "just wait" crowd. They probably wanted to pass on Cam in 2011 to wait on Luck in 2012.

[LinvilleGorge]

And next year it'll be another guy or two who isn't draft eligible yet who will be better in their eyes than Williams or Maye and we'll need to wait on them. Ad infinitum.
