Zach Wilson, Trey Lance or...

[Mr. Scot]

Sam Howell? 

Don't get a hung up on the names. You can exchange players here if you prefer Wilson over Fields (as I know some do) or if you think there's a better 2021 prospect than Howell, but the basic premise of the question is this:

Would you prefer to get one of your second choices in the coming draft or would you be willing to wait a year to get someone who would be a top choice in the next?

[LinvilleGorge]

Howell. BUT, I don't think we'll be bad enough to be in position to draft Howell next year.

[top dawg]

We will win at least 6 or 7 games next year and be picking in the teens! Howell won't end up here!

I definitely agree.  This team is performing well above expectations and next year those one score losses will turn into one score wins.

If we get some O-line help we could do well and won't be in the top 10.

Granted, but if you've used this year's offseason to build a better roster, then maybe trading up is a more reasonable option.

lol this again

 

How many seasons are we going to blow on this thought process

 

 

[ForJimmy]

Lance. He has all the intangibles and I would love to see our staff develop him.

That's not guaranteed.

We wouldn't be the first team to see a new staff follow a promising rookie season with a sophomore slump.

Howell is THE GOAT of ALL GOATS. 
 

Generational player.

I prefer to get a QB this year. We could be a fringe playoff team next year with Teddy and will not have as good of an opportunity to get a QB. I like Howell, but that's just not happening and I'd rather not trade up. Much better to get Lance or Wilson this year and let him develop behind Teddy for a year while we build up the OL as well.

I have a sense that the prospect of watching another year of Bridgewater may affect some people's answers.

He's almost certainly going to be the starter next year regardless of what happens in this draft, unless the impossible happens and we wind up with Lawrence. We have the luxury of starting Bridgewater for a year and we're paying him to be the starter next year anyways, and all of Fields/Wilson/Lance could use some time on the sideline to continue to develop before being thrown to the wolves, especially behind a shaky OL as it stands right now.

He's on my list of potential targets in 2022 if we don't draft a QB this year. Will be interesting to see how he develops.
