Look no further than Fields lighting up Clemson who is on par with OSU for talent. Lance struggled this year against a team with less talent (to be fair it was the only game they played and I’m sure there was some rust).

It’s risk/reward. There is no such thing as a guaranteed franchise player in the draft, no matter how high we are on a prospect. We may feel that no rookie is worth 3 first round picks. Watson before the legal issues maybe, but no unproven rookie. If that player falls to 8, it is much less of a risk than 3 first rounders. Like someone already said, if he struggles we won’t be set back for the next 2 years with a first round pick.

For 3 first round picks? If he falls to us at 8 (not a trade up), it’s too good of an opportunity to pass up. I don’t think he will be there, but if we let a future second round investment keep us from drafting a potential franchise QB I’ll be a little concerned...

2 years at $7 million is great! It’s up to our coaches to put him in a position in succeed. He has shown he is capable just a year ago.

If Fields is there do we take him?

Fields and be thrilled.

I mean yeah. Did we really think that next year’s second plus a couple late picks was the absolute cure for our QB position? If a talent falls you take him. If he and Darnold look good, trade one next year for a ransom. It’s too important of a position to simply roll the dice on QB who has struggled and assume we are good.

Trask will be there and no one should take him in the first...

If we want a weapon there is no need to trade up . Four QBs should go before us (maybe 5) that leaves Chase, Smith, Pitts, and Waddle.

It’s all smoke to encourage the Falcons to draft Pitts and pass on Fields.

Let’s hear who you want at 8.

Fields played Indiana, Northwestern, Clemson, and Alabama with constant games getting moved/cancelled, staff/players getting quarantined and playing through injuries. He is the most battle tested QB out if the major ones we are talking about. I honestly put him right there with Lawrence talent wise plus he is an extremely smart man. Check out Mark Sanchez’s info on his testing, it’s a good read. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/justin-fields-did-insanely-well-aptitude-test-mark-sanchez-says%3famp He really should be the 1st or 2nd pick. If he some how falls to 8 I hope we pull the trigger.

If we get Pitts, my expectations for Darnold will be higher. Pitts, Moore, Anderson, CMC should be a top offense in this league based on potential...

I. Fields 2. Sewell 3. Pitts 4. Lance

I doubt Pitts will be there, but if he is I have no problem taking him. LT should definitely be round 2. Pitts with CMC, DJ, and Anderson would be insane!

I GUESS we will do that...

I’m a realist about it. I would like to see an improvement from his year 2 stats (his best season). A good bit over 3000 yards with at least a 2/1 TD to INT ratio. I would love to see a clutch play or two with the game on the line.

Shhh, don’t tell Denver.,,

What’s your answer? It’s a win win really.

From what I was reading Denver is wanting us to eat a chunk of his salary for a trade to happen. As long as it’s less than his dead cap space and we get something in return it’s totally worth it.

Complaining about a post complaining, classic!

Yeah if you see a negative number just ignore that poster. They are usually trolls...

How is Justin Fields a band aid? I view him right there with Lawrence. Who is better than Fields next year? You have an accurate passer with a cannon for an arm that also runs a 4.4. If he falls it would be a steal. Watson and Mahomes fell to right around the same slot 9/10. It was reported that we “love” Fields and “like” Mac. So if a draft prospect we “love” at the most important position in sports is available you don’t draft him because you consider that a “bandaid”?
