I think the OBJ trade clearly signals we will be looking to draft a QB this year. I just hope we can get the one we want using only 1 first round pick.
So which one do we want to draft and why? I look forward to reading your comments. Thanks in advance.
Not suggesting, but would you (or anyone else here) give a 17 for Russell Wilson?
I wouldn't touch Daniel Jones at all. I've really soured on him.
I'm finding Thorson and Stidham more and more interesting.

I personally like Drew Lock the most, but there is nobody that I would take at 6 or 17 with the quality at DL/EDGE/LB/OL in the draft. If he fell to Round 2 (like what happened with Geno Smith), it would be a different story.

That is a tough one for me. His intelligence and ability to avoid hits makes me think he can last longer than other running QB's. My biggest concern is the contract figure. Will he do well enough to justify using that high of a percentage of the cap?

In about two seconds! A pro bowl QB seems like a good investment for #17.
Lock acceptable too.
Not drafting one of these guys (or not getting Rosen) would be a 7.0 on the Richter Scale.
Drafting any other QB, particularly Daniel Jones with either 1st rounder would be an 8.0.
There are 3 to 5 true franchise guys in the NFL. IMO. Mitch Trubisky will most likely play in same amount of Superbowls as I have. That term is so Watered down its sad. Nick Foles won a Super Bowl and still the urban legend you can’t win without picking a guy in top 5 of RD 1 lives in and on.
Threw it beautifully though.
Then sign Gardner Minshew as a street walk on and see if he has the stuff to be a pro QB and not just another product of Mike Leach's system.
I prefer tall, pocket QB's with a giant football brain. There cannot be enough said about the importance of a cerebral gift to that game of football. Athleticism is nice, but the problem with that is it's too easy for them to ditch the mental aspect of the high speed chess game and take off on their own. Those players are short lived for taking too many hits.
With a great offensive line, a 6'4" or 6'5" pocket QB can destroy a defense. Just my take on things.
I believe our first round picks need to be making a haul of this stacked defensive draft. The defensive studs will be well picked over by round 2
Same here.
Your obsession of Jones is getting close to Milton's for Rosen.

Shit, I'd sign up for Minshew and replacing Shurmur with Leach.
^This.
If they draft Dave Brown II higher than the third round I'm switching to the goddamn Eagles or something.
Oh, dear God.
Personally Id take Haskins or Lock at 6 and be done with it.
