Matt Ryan and Jones coming back so that take a qb off the list

They could still trade their pick to a team that wants a qb.

This is definitely a positive for us as far as the draft. Not so sure it is a positive for us overall...

[AU-panther]

If they want a QB why would they say they want a QB?  Just increases the chance someone will trade in front of them to grab the QB. 
 

I’m not convinced they will draft a QB but I’m not going to put much stock in a quote in February.

They could still draft Ryan’s heir apparent also.

there are no great gifs for a smokescreen..

Yea I think they’re taking Zach Wilson.

Well there are only three spots ahead of them, so I am not sure they have a bunch to worry about. Not unless they really like a specific guy. In that case, they would probably have the best ammo to trade up with the #4 pick. 

Ryan returning also doesn't mean they may not take a QB, either.

Some people are seriously high around here.  You don't draft a guy #4 overall and sit him on the bench with no chance at starting.  Yeah, I want Lance at #8 and want to slow roll him, but with TB at the helm, crap, Trey might end up winning the job in camp.

If they don't want a QB they should be acting like they do so a team trades in front of them and picks a QB. 

That moves the non-QBs down the list.  They could end up with the 1st non-QB off of the board.

False logic.

The Falcons taking a QB has nothing to do with Matt Ryan coming back.  He was always coming back.  It has everything to do with the fact that Matt Ryan is 36.  It has everything to do with the quality of the QB class and where they are picking within that class.

There is no scenario where we draft at eight and less than four QB's are off the board before we do.

No scenario? Come on! There are plenty of scenarios where 3, and possibly 4 are gone. But 100% chance four or more are gone at 8? Nah.

That’d be bad for us, who do you think the jets take?
