So Pat Shurmur the "QB whisperer" is our new HC. What round 1 & 2 pick scenario would you choose?
Option A:
Rd. 1: Saquon Barkley Penn St. RB
Rd. 2: Lamar Jackson Louisville QB
or
Option B:
Rd. 1: Josh Rosen UCLA QB
Rd. 2: Derrius Guice LSU RB
or
Option C:
Rd. 1: Sam Darnold USC QB
Rd. 2: Best available OL
I personally like Option A.
To get both Barkley and (IMO) the best QB prospect in this class would be a coup.

So you want to cluster draft two RBs at the top of the draft?
(kidding)
That'd be my preference.
I'm almost positive he will be pending the Combine. He had a down 2017 year, RB's usually fall in the draft, 4-6 QB's might get picked in the 1st rd.
If you’re going to spend a number 2 overall pick on a RB you better damn well already have a good OL built.
trade down get all the OL/DL/LB you can over next 2 years
If there are reasonable FA's at those positions get them.
No need for QB at this time. Eli will be around 2 years minimum, unless GREAT trade offer.See what Webb has.
OPTION D
BPA rd 2 thru 4
P in rd 5
prospects in 6 & 7

id take A but jackson isnt the best QB in the class...guy has serious accuracy issues. lets see his durability when taking NFL hits....

I'm in this camp as well. Wouldn't mind Fitzpatrick in Rd 1 either.
Trade back to 5 and take either Fitz or Nelson would be my ideal scenario. Then load up with players from there. We could possibly get three of the top 35-40 players in this draft plus whatever extra in next.
I would draft LT-Mike McGlinchey, LG-Quenton Nelson, and C-Billy Price to go along with re-signing Jones, re-signing Fluker, and moving Flowers to RT.

How is Jackson the best qb prospect when some in the NFL think he’s ultimately going to end up at WR? HARD pass on this guy.
I would like to see Lamar Jackson try to be successful but I'm not sure he should try with the Giants.
+1

I'm for that. Worked out nicely for Dallas

Evaluates Webb extensively before the draft and likes what he sees. Then we can trade down and grab an extra pick or 2 and get more help.

Here's what we know about Jackson: an offense was run with him at the helm where he produced more than any of these other quarterback prospects. He was extremely productive against FSU and Clemson...it's not like he was only good against inferior competition.
I agree he's not the best pure passer, but there's an offense that exists where this guy destroys games. We know because he was basically a one man team and won a Heisman doing it.

Trade down with Cleveland for picks #4 & #33, plus Joe Thomas. Trade down again with the Broncos or Jets, obtaining either the #5 & #37 or the #6 & #38. Trade back up so as to have the #5 or #6 along with another 1st rounder somewhere in the teens and still keep our own pick at #34.

I like it too but not crazy about McGlinchey.
Round 2 - Billy Price
This with a couple of good ol signed in free agency gives us a very good run game.

Yea that's my thought.
Add norwell or solder and draft Barkley....give Eli a run game plus improve the OL. Eval Webb one more year
I won't cry about it, but I don't love the idea of taking Jackson. I'm sure I'd go bananas the first time he ran for 25 yards on 3rd and 12 but those qbs just don't exhibit any real staying power unless they adapt and adjust their game to fit the NFL.
2. Santa Clause
Because that’s how realistic A and B are.
There are a bunch of non-elite passers making plays in the NFL because they can move: Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Cam Newton, Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor to name a few. None of these guys is in Jackson's universe as an athlete, but he's in theirs as a passer.
Shurmur has the reputation for working well with different types of QBs...I think there's a good chance he'd get the most out of Jackson. And if we're talking ceilings, Jackson's has to be the highest of the whole bunch because his elite trait is much greater than anyone else's.

All of those QBs are trash except Wilson, Wentz, Cam, and Watson. Wentz and Watson are coming off serious knee injuries because of being the type of QB you describe. Cam can’t get over the hump because of his accuracy issues. Seattle went from a dominant team to now a fringe playoff team because they paid Wilson.
