Where is that argument coming from? It doesn’t make any sense at all. It would take trading up quite a few assets, if they aren’t 1-2. No one has said any different. Weird argument
Off the top of my head, the Lions, Titans, Falcons, and Redskins will likely be in need of a QB. Then you have the Bears, Cardinals, Seahawks, Rams, Jets/Packers (depending on Aaron Rodgers) who could very well be in the mix. That list potentially gets bigger if Williams/Maye are as advertised next season.
With three 1sts and being a 5-6 win team, yes they absolutely could, how many games do you think they are going to win this year? Vegas predicts 5.5 which puts them with a top 2 pick and that's with Young. I like the odds of getting one of the three QB's I like in 2024. You obviously love Young so your vision maybe clouded. Kinda like Cal's
I'd add Bucs, Steelers and Raiders to that. With Jimmy G in Vegas, they can be playoff team or bottom team, depending on his health.
It's hard to get off a quarterback if you have a lot of draft capital and $$$'s invested in him! That's why it's important to make the right decision on one. And the Cards at #3 STILL aren't at a good enough slot to get one of the top 2. If the worst happens (imo) and Young goes #1 then I wouldn't mind trading down with the Cards and taking Will Anderson and draft a QB later. Of course they're probably married to Murray for at least another year or two so that probably won't be an option. If Stroud goes 1st I won't have to worry about things like that though. lol
OR it just shows that the QB position has become SO valuable that teams are overdrafting them higher and higher and paying more and more draft capital to get up high enough to select them and it's only getting WORSE every year!
I agree about needing a good receiving tight end on the team and I really don't like most of the wr's rated in the 1st round either but I think there's quality to be found 3rd or 4th round and down. Problem is it takes GOOD scouting to identify them and Nick has a HORRID track record with wideouts. From his N.E days to the massive overpay for Nico Collins he just doesn't engender much confidence in me that he will pick the right one
Agreed. Which makes the “waiting” game even riskier IMO. The only way to guarantee getting your guy is a full-on tank for the #1 pick, something I doubt DeMeco signed up for.
The argument is many here think if the Texans want one of the top picks next year they will get it which is ludicrous
Jared Goff last year: 65% comp. 4400 yards 29TDs 7INTs I think that the Lions feel good about their QB situation and that alot of guys undersell Goff. I doubt they are in the mix for a college QB anytime soon.
You think the Texans would trade three number ones to get a crack at one of next year’s QBs? Wow. As far as Young, I have stated many times, I hope he doesn’t end up here so that has zero to do with the discussion.
It’s probably more ludicrous to think we wouldn’t have a top 5 pick, which puts us in range to offer the mother load
I am not a fortune teller who can see into the future so I admit I don’t know how we will do. I do know this team could have easily won 7 to 8 games with Mills at QB. Makes me a little more optimistic I guess.
But it’s not Maye/ Williams > Young/ Stroud Its Maye or Williams vs Young or Stroud/ 2024 1st round pick/ 2024 2nd round pick/ 2025 1st round pick/ additional day 2 pick and probably a young ascending player on an a rookie contract.
This is absolutely a possibility. I don’t think it’s a certainty but definitely a possibility. The question then becomes, are Williams/Maye worth that risk or price. I personally think they are, I believe their upside is top 3 QB in the league
