Hawks have two 1st round picks and two 2nd round picks next year. If they want the 1st or 2nd over-all pick to get their QB, they have the draft capital to get it (more than the 49ers did when they got Lance) moving forward.
If there is a team willing to do the trade. But likely the teams that will have the 1st and 2nd picks will need QB:s and will not be willing to make a trade.
that is going to be a goal of so many teams. Hoping that comes to fruition is a really bad strategy.
Give them an offer they can't refuse. Two 1st rounders in the same year as well as the next 2-3 1st rounders should suffice. Also, see below.
I'm with it, but only with Texans considering Jacksonville has their QB, Lions will quite possibly be the only competition depending on how the 2nd round of the draft goes (if anyone predicted to be in the bottom tier of picks choose a QB in this year's second round). Even then, I feel like it just might take more than a 2nd this year. Even so, I'd be willing to pay that price for the top 2 picks of a non-QB-needy team.
On top of Houston and Detroit, There are also Falcons, Panthers, Colts, Saints, Commanders and a couple of other teams looking to fill the QB position. It is a tough road to go if a top 2 pick in 2023 is the target. Giving 1-5, first rounders as you suggest, weakens the team a lot from other areas. Also if and when there a two QB needy teams on the top 2 picks in 2023, giving the farm might not be enough. Taking a flier on a 2nd round QB this year is not much compared to that and it does not mean a QB is out of the question next year if he doesn't progress as expected.
I understand what you're trying to say, however I doubt the Falcons, Panthers, Colts, Saints, and Commanders have the top 1-2 picks next year based on their respective teams and how they drafted this year. I fully expect the Texans to have one of the two top QB needy picks for next year though, and I'll be happy to explain why in a very detailed post/private message compared to all the other teams you mentioned.
This is a good point. I like Corral most but as it’s only a second rounder, Willis might a be a worthy bet too as it does not set the franchise back like a top ten pick might. Ridder or Howell might be the ones FO has highest on their board. Interesting to see whether they do make a move at QB. Plenty of great prospects for other positions are available too. I like the way they started the draft. No reaching, no unnecessary trading. Just BPA and it fills a need too.
Pete would never go "full tank mode." That would be anathema to him.
How is it a steal if the qbs left have 3rd round grades at best? There's no value in getting the best of poor quality options.
But do they have 3rd round grades at best? PFF has Willis 30th overall, Ridder 41, Corral 53. NFL.com has Willis and Corral 19 and 20 overall. Ridder 33. It' possible I get these wrong and teams obviously have their own grades. It just seems to me these players have a low 1st round - end of second round grades.
So you “remember” what I posted 10 years ago even though you joined this site 5 years after the so called post of mine? It”s true I actually did not love the pick of Wilson as we just got Flynn but NEVER said he was the worst qb ever. Before posting something incorrect you may want to check before doing so.
Sites like that admit they grade players with need and not just in terms of ability. This so they dont look daft when someone makes a reach like the Steelers at 20.
Are we going to have a top 2 pick?
My guess is only if we trade up.
Both those guys are really good. If I’m sitting there with a top 2 pick, I don’t trade that pick for anything.
