As much as I'd rather had somebody eise, the 1 year let's me know they are looking at a developmental  qb too. I'd like to swing on Bech or The Baylor  Qb in the mid rounds. 

I don’t know much about the QBs in this class, but it is interesting there seem to be a few that were up until this past season considered 1st round picks that are now looked at more in the mid rounds (Sellers, Klubnik, Beck more so 2 yrs ago but still). I wonder if one of those types could be the guy. But also there’s probably good reason they lost favor. I remember when Sam Howell was considered a possible #1 pick, then another year in college happened.

It's really some guys to ke that have a shot to be good with the right system. Canales wants mobile qbs that have some upside.  Perfect draft to grab one mid round and build a guy up the way you want.

I mean I’d be fine with either of those but expecting them to push Bryce Young for QB1 any more than Pickett would just seems like wishful thinking and more of “they signed a 1st rd pick reclamation project type but not the one I like most therefore they don’t want to win football games”.

Howell's only true starting season he was sacked 65 times, put up almost 4k yards, ran for 250 and 5 tds while throwing for 21/21. Lot of ints but he was also being asked to do a lot with lots of pressure and no RB help. 

I don't think it's even questionable to think he could come in and legitimately compete with Bryce right away.

Can he sneak it for a yard?

He couldn’t even beat out Tanner McKee for a backup spot last year. I’m all for it like I said, especially as a UNC fan, but multiple teams have tried him and he hasn’t beaten literally anybody out.
