IMO he has a lower ceiling than Ryan does but Cousins isn't a bad comparison. I still kind of think that is really his best case scenario, however. What I will say is that he will be ready to play in 2021 versus Lance. Lance is immensely more talented but he has a lot of mechanical issues and just really needs more game reps and field experience to be at the place Jones is right now. I do wonder if that will have an impact on us potentially drafting a guy like Lance because he might need a year or two on the bench before he is ready for primetime.

Josh Allen was a career 56.2% passer. Trey Lance is a 67.0% career passer. I am not saying that he doesn't have some things to work on but the accuracy issues seem to be extremely overblown. For reference, Carson Wentz was a 64.2% career passer at NDSU.

This is making a lot of assumptions. We hope that is the case. It's also possible he is a JAG and a year off from the league will just set him behind further. TBD.

That is a fuging nightmare scenario. Jones would really have to be a Tom Brady level competitor for him to rise above his below average to average NFL skillset.

Trust me, I wasn't one on that Little bandwagon. I was against drafting him when we did and I stand by that assessment. I am fine trading for Watson. It's unlikely any of these QB's in this draft will be as good as he is, so I get the desire to trade for a surefire star QB. But, we aren't 3-4 years into our rebuild, we just got past year one. I doesn't make sense to sell off the entire team to get him.

I assume he is targeting the new TV deals, which is extremely smart.

I don't think they will let Dak walk this offseason, nor do I think that Wilson will be leaving Seattle. I am not against getting Dak, but I don't know if I am prepared to make him a $30+ mil a year QB on a 4-5 year deal, either. I could probably stomach that on a shorter deal. I will say, don't judge him too harshly for being on a team with one of the worst head coaches currently in the NFL.

I am okay with pursuing Dak but it can't be at a Watson/Wilson price. I think he's a very good QB but I am not sure that he is an elite QB yet. Unquestionably a massive upgrade over what we have had.

If we get 3 or 4 of those guys as regular roster members or depth chart guys, I would say that is a phenomenal return rate. We know how infrequently Rivera developed guys at that level. Conversely, I do remember Fitterer making statements about bottom of the roster churn, so I hope we keep trying to get new and better talent there every year.

What....no Greg Little?

Lance spent most of his football playing career as a RB, so it may be a lot more difficult than most to break of bring a runner.

You do realize he was a career 67% passer through 17 games, right?

I'd be pumped to land Lance at #8. He clearly has the highest ceiling of any of the QB prospects in the draft, even if he may take the most time to develop.

He is very expensive as a backup caliber QB.

They already have a QB on the roster almost as expensive. They have to shed $70+ mil in salary this offseason, I don't think they are going to be trading for players that are expensive.

He has some guaranteed money in 2021($10 mil). I am not really envisioning a scenario where a team that is $65+ mil over the cap has that much to spend on Teddy.

They have no cap space and they literally traded up to fug us in the last draft. I kind of doubt this will happen.

I have to assume this is sarcasm.

It isn't possible to make it easier on them. The salary cap rules are what they are. If it's the cap they are worried about, then they will most likely trade him post-June 1st but the cap hit would still be astronomical.

It is if you make a stupid signing like Tahir Whitehead.

Too easy to cheaply fill LB in free agency rather than spend a premium pick on a LB. The idea of taking a LB in the top ten is just the sort of Hurney move that keeps us from being able to rebuild effectively.

I think all the interested parties know his trade is inevitable, as well. The rest is just posturing.

The problem is that we are tribal and don't view humanity as "the tribe." It is your religion, ideology, race, politics, region, nationality, neighborhood, etc, etc. We make ourselves into these smaller and smaller groups to fight and struggle against ourselves. It's a distraction from trying to move the human race forward. I'd personally be shocked if we were the dominant species on the planet in 10,000 years.

Not surprised at all. I had a buddy that was a cop in a NC city and he now has a permanent limp from a job related injury(blown out knee from chasing a suspect). They refused to give him a desk job, let him go and he had to sue to get any money. Even still, it was just $100k for a lifetime ailment. No medical, no partial retirement....nothing. People just don't can't see beyond the one decision in front of them.
