What if it’s not Young or CJ at #1?

It’d be pretty hilarious. Even though Richardson has potential it’d be a bad decision to take a guy who isn’t NFL ready at 1. 
 

I think it’d be funny if one day a team trades up to #1 only to trade down multiple times for an overall better haul. 

The plot for Draft Day 2.

Who's the best long-snapper coming out this year?

[XClown1986]

I honestly think it will be Anthony Richardson. His ceiling is so incredibly high. Stroud is an NFL starter, but will he ever be more than a Jared Goff type? Doubtful.

If Levis ... I laugh and laugh at this stupid franchise but hope the kid is decent as some claim he already is.

If Richardson ... I'm done.

If a non-QB ... I laugh at this stupid franchise and wonder what they have up their sleeve.

the number 1 pick is still for sale, if you think about it.  If a team offered four first rounders, would we do it?

[Cdparr7]

I have this odd fear they will trade back a few to recoup some of what they lost and take a different QB. I don't think they would after going all the way to 1.

Wait I was assured by you that Will Levis was the number 1 pick.  My how things have changed

As mentioned, trading back makes no sense. Not only do you need to get a WR as good as DJ back, but you also have to replace the First you traded away ... before you even begin to look at what you "get" in the trade. No one is going to give us a star WR, and three Firsts (to which we "get" two Firsts in the deal).

I'm rambling, but we have to recoup what we gave away before we even look at what we can "get" for trading down.
