Definately don't see it happening. I'm hoping someone blows up in the combine and have some team foolish enough to trade up for them. I personally don't think any of these top prospects are worth the #1 pick. I rather trade down multiple times in the 1st round and stack up on picks. It would be great to have an elite player but I rather get a really good player with plenty of others that can provide depth and even be good starters for us.

Teams generally only trade up to the #1 spot for a highly-touted franchise QB prospect (aka Luck). Even with the old CBA that handed top picks massive contracts teams still traded up for Vick, Eli Manning and teams tried to trade up for Bradford last year but the Rams wanted to keep the pick.

Even if one of the QB needy teams in the top 10 falls in love with Gabbert or Newton they will most likely stay put and hope their guy falls to them. Maybe a team with a mid to late first will trade up but even then they won't move all the way up to #1 overall.

You have to hope one of these QBs blow up the combine and then really sell the idea that you will take them yourself. That's the only way I can see it happening and that's not very likely.

      REPORT: Bryce Young ankle injury is “just a one-week injury”

      By strato · Posted

      I am by nature optimistic about acquisitions and draft picks and how the players need time to develop and grow, and have patience with most things.  This Bryce thing was so egregious to me, I just couldn’t accept that they were really doing it. It was so fuging stupid that I could see it. I ain’t no scout.     I am mellowing on him a little because he has shown some growth but I still don’t believe in him. He has to put the hammer down or we are so screwed. Is what it is at this point and what I do know is I am looking forward to Sunday and hoping Andy hasn’t fallen off the cliff. If he is still able to play at the level he was a couple of years ago it will be fun.    One thing I should say for Bryce is that that Dallas game was the most fun game in years, and he didn’t fug it up. But I think that’s his ceiling. Looks really good against the worst D with a 200 yard rusher on his side. Lol peace

      I had to watch it again. Whoever has on that outfit is going to hear it for a few days around campus lol. Gave me Happy Gilmore vibes. Kinda looks like they were playing. He knocked his hat off .... and cam smacked the fire out his ass... he'll prolly keep his job but im wondering could the mascot guy have a case out of this?

      lol I hate being negative about the team I’m always such a glass half full guy and optimistic. But Tepper has done that to me man. It’s not our first time under Tepper having a winning record around this time of year. Always turned out to be a fugazi, so I’m tempering expectations. Obviously I’m way happier being 4-3 than having our seasons over by now like the last several years. But Bryce is truly terrible and I don’t see any way around our weak QB position this year as the schedule gets much tougher. I’m becoming more and more optimistic though about the progression of the D and what Canales can do with a legit QB behind this line and this running game and progression of young WRs. But that’ll take at least next offseason so this year I’m tempering expectations significantly.
