Quarterback trade options

I would be happy with either Darnold or Minshew ( in that order).  Darnold has not had the best of team around him in NY and I think a change of scenery will do him well.

I've also said that Minshew would do well with this offense.  He's in the mold of Jake Delhomme and would bring some fire to our offense.

Jimmy G.  I am not interested in.

Daniel Jeremiah slots Sam Darnold into this year's draft pool and puts him at #3...

 

I don't question Jeremiah's evaluation (I find him generally quite good). However; you can't look at this in a vacuum and not consider Darnold's contract situation. Minshew is much cheaper and just as good. I'd rather roll the dice on the 'Stash.

Understood. Pretty sure Jeremiah is looking at it only from the talent aspect.

I'll just add "perceived" talent aspect. Part of that equation should be decision making and ball security. Minshew may even the score a little bit on that front. Darnold has been a bit of a turnover machine! That's his biggest red flag for me! Minshew was his rookie season, but he cut turnovers considerably in 2020.

I'd offer a 3rd for Darnold. Gase players have a track record of looking like different players when away from him (Robby Anderson and Tannehill) and he'd definitely look better in Joe Bradys offense with these skill players. 

I still think turnovers are his issue, going back to USC. He'd still provide more dynamic play that Teddy. No idea his upside at this point, really. But he's also young as hell like our other skill guys at 23, so I think he'd fit here. 

A third rounder is not a big risk for him.

More than likely we will trade for darnold if it becomes available I still think he a top talented QB in this league just on a team will no help from anywhere. If we get Either him or minshew I really could see us trade down in the draft once or twice to pick up more draft capital. I think this would be the ideal scenario rather overreaching for one in the draft.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
