Who and When

[BleedBlue4Shoe86]

Want to see what everyone would want in regards to drafting a QB.  I will list several QBs that I think we could draft and where we could draft them.  Let me know what you want.

None of them personally, we need to wait until 2021 when there is more first round talent available rather than depth at the position. Let’s take a honest look at the QBs in the draft. This fan base is so distraught still over the loss of Luck that they think we need a QB “RIGHT NOW”. After Burrow, Herbert, and Tua when he gets healthy, I don’t see any of the QBs in this draft being good enough to start any time soon, if ever. If we can just be patient for one more year, then we can land another higher pick or even trade up for Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, or another breakout college QB.

I do find you theory interesting and I have been on record here that I really like JB and feel with another year of prepping and learning he could be our starter going forward. But the only flaw I see in your argument is us having a high pick next year.  I just don't see us being any worse that 8-8 again.  Which is not high enough to draft a franchise QB, especially in a draft class that looks thin at QB, outside of the top 2.

 

I have said that I would take a QB in round 2-3 and let him compete for the spot.  At the very least he will push Jacoby to either get better or go in the tank.

 

I truly don't know though.  I support JB but I can be unbiased and say that I really liked what I say from Love in the bowl game.

I like your reasoning here, but the one thing I have to say is that I think the QB class will be even better next year. Think about it. Every single draft there is a QB that started the year off everyone’s radar and then gets drafted round one after he blows up. Joe Burrow, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, and many more all began their years without much chatter, but then went on to dominate. There will likely be another one of those guys in 2021, not to mention that in a class this full of depth QBs, some are bound to return for another year and improve their draft stock. 

 

As for your point about picking that highly, I would much rather trade up for a QB with a complete roster than reach for one with our pick this year and have holes around him. It’s all speculation when it comes to each and every draft, though, so nobody can accurately say anything. We just have to wait and see how everything ends up, and that’s the fun part!

QB in FA... not in this years draft. 2021 draft... look for that guy.

Thanks for the compliment.  I very rarely get them because i am a JB supporter.

 

As far as your two other points.  Just curious

 

1.  What other quarterbacks do you see for next year outside of Fields and Lawerence?

 

2.  What QB would you want to trade for or go after in FA?  I'm on record that if they went that route, I really like Derek Carr.

I like JT Daniels if he can rebound well, as well as possibly looking at Penn States Sean Clifford.

 

As for the Trade/FA route, I do think Carr is our best option as well, and don't see many other players who would be available and are upgrades at the position

If we got Carr, then would you consider a DT or a top WR a must have in round 1

[Four2itus]

None.

[NewColtsFan]

I think both Hurts and Gordon get drafted, but I’m not sure as of now if either goes on Day 2.

 

So....  Maybe.

 

For right now, I peg them in the 4th round.

If he enters the draft.... Jamie Newman - Wake Forest.... Round 3.
