Miami? I doubt the Falcons will trade with us. Cincinnati is an option is a QB is still available since they don’t need one.

I don’t think Mac Jones will be that bad. He just doesn’t have the potential to carry an offense like Lance, Fields, and Wilson do. They have the ability to better stretch the field with stronger arms and to take over with their legs when a play breaks down. Give Mac a pocket and some weapons and he should be solid. The other guys just have potential to be something special IMO.

Starbucks and Amazon. Miss those Super Sonics....

Exactly. 40 times don’t always reflect game speed. Just watch him play and yes he wore the GPS for several games which gave us all the data we needed of actual game speed. 21.58 mph for his size is crazy and his 40 time wasn’t going to top that.

I honestly think if we miss out on Watson, we trade up to three and draft either Fields or Lance. We seem all in on getting a QB this year. Defense revamp was year 1 with Brown, Chinn, YGM, Pride etc and year 2 is getting our QB. The following years will be filling in holes to make a run.

That Trey Lance is so hot right now.

That’s fair, but if Jones had Lance’s arm and athletic ability he would be the top pick. They are both risky due to only starting a season’s worth of games and having superior talent on their teams. To me the potential of Lance is crazy, but the floor for Jones is much higher. Mac’s worst case is Teddy, best is Brees (super low chance of this). Tre Lance’s worst case is out of the league in a few years, best case is maybe off the charts? Maybe what Josh Allen is becoming or peak Cam with better passing? (again low chance of this). Lance’s advantage is his ability let’s you open your playbook and win with less than Jones can (potentially).

I’m saying most of Mac’s competition was significantly below his team and he started the same amount of games. So yeah the guys he is going against are better, but his teammates are significantly better than them.

I mean Alabama was way better that other teams this year. They are loaded with NFL talent. Mac Jones had a NFL line, RB, and WRs mostly 1st rounders going against a lot of players that won’t get drafted. The gap from Alabama to the average team they played could be greater than NDSU and their competition. Also Lance started the same number of games as Jones. So experience should be similar...

Started just as many games as Mac Jones. I would argue the gap between his competition was less than what Jones was facing too...

I think picks 3-7 are up for grabs. None of those teams are in a spot where they need a QB and they have too many other needs to ignore. Denver and the Niners are our competition for a trade up. Basically I think it’s Lawrence, Fields at 1 and 2 and we just have to prevent Denver and San Fran from jumping us and taking the other 2. I don’t see WFT trading up to select another QB in Fields or Lance who, one is from the same school as Haskins and two had one great season like Haskins did. They will sign a vet or take someone safe like a Mac Jones. Just my thoughts...

If we get Lance/Fields at 8 and a LT in the 2nd I will be thrilled.

How does his LT look? I’ve heard he might be a 2nd rounder. We doubling up and getting Lance plus his LT?

Do you think all 4 are gone before we pick?

Interesting note, he has the same number of career starts as Mac Jones...

I wouldn’t be completely upset about Mac Attack Jones, but in comparison to Lance....

He will become my draft crush and be there at 8, while we draft Mac...

What time does his pro day start?

In the middle as it has potential, but still some minor concerns. I’m assuming Lance or Fields will make it until 8. Wishing we had lost games last year is pointless and nonsense. If we love a guy we will trade up for him if needed. Aside from Lawrence, I see concerns with every QB in this draft. If we can’t get Watson, I’m for sitting back and seeing who falls to us. If no one does get a LT or trade down.

Somewhere in the middle?

Hopefully he doesn’t throw himself into the top 5...

QB and LT are still the biggest needs. I’m sure will sign a vet WR or draft someone like Rogers from Clemson in the middle rounds. You (likely) won’t find a capable QB or LT in the middle rounds.
