Dukes and Woodson say trade down

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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.

      Cam regularly threw for less than 200 yards and nobody questioned he was elite. He averaged 219 yds per game for his career.  You seem to be way too hung up on yards as a stat.  By that definition Jameis Winston should have been MVP by now.
