Hawks: Will Anderson Jr. If he's available.
As much as I'm intrigued by Richardson, it's hard to disagree with any of that. Solid take.Of course, it's the outcome most people want. Myself included. From a National perspective, the QBs, Will Anderson, and Jalen Carter are the only guys worth talking about in the top 5, the other guys being dragged into the convo, are just for that, the convo. Have to fill that time with something.
Base on my evaluation, I wouldn't touch any of these QBs in the top 10, but this draft is lacking blue chip talent, so the most valuable position (QB) gets pushed up the board.
I think Bryce Young is top 5 worthy, however I don't think he can hold up with his slight build. So I would have him lower due to that.
Stroud is overvalued from playing on a loaded team, with a superior scheme. He's good, but not Franchise QB good. He was playing Madden on easy, and getting comped to players playing on All-Pro. It will be a different ball game for him at the NFL level, more so than the other guys.
Levis could go either way, he's the boom or bust guy. Poor decision maker, sloppy footwork. Has everything else if you're cool with his arm motion (which I am). He could be unlocked and become a player. But needs the right coach to unlock him.
Richardson is fool's gold. Unless you're cool with running him until the wheels fall off like RG3, then he could impact early, but eventually will get injured. I don't view him as a prospect that can sit for 2 or 3 years and magically become a refined pocket passer.
So yes, I wouldn't be surprised if only 2 QBs go in the top 5 and the other 2 slip. Also too, drafting QBs high puts your ass on the line as a GM or Coach. If you draft a QB that high he better be the guy or there is a good chance you're getting fired.
If you think Hooker is a potential franchise QB you trade back into the first if he is still there and secure the 5th year option.Nah, they will stick to their own plan. Not what the fans want. Hendon Hooker in the 2nd round would be worth the pick imo.

I think people are sleeping on Witherspoon and wouldn't be shocked at all if he is the pick for Seattle.
I could see Witherspoon go at 6 to Detroit. I think he goes higher than the media is predicting. If Seattle grabs him it would be after a trade down. It goes against what they usually do with the position but I think this drafts talent could push them to break from the norm.Maybe at 20 if he lasts that long. But at 5?
He's generally rated to go after Gonzales as far as CB's, but definitely an interesting prospect that'd fit nicely on the other side of Woolen. I don't think anyone's super crazy about Jackson. He played solid, but he's not a playmaker like Woolen is.
