Regarding Darnold...

The "competition" stuff is probably coachspeak, but it's not hard to imagine them keeping Darnold.

I imagine they'd have to get at least a reasonable offer, but I wouldn't count too heavily on that coming.

To those looking for the team to ditch Darnold, I'd say don't hold your breath.

Would be really entertaining if they got a killer offer for Mayfield (relative to his cost) now that his salary is down and Carolina ended up trading him again, putting Sam back in the driver's seat.

Won't happen of course, but would be entertaining.

Ditch Darnold and take PJ with him .. it’s time to stop keeping proven failures.

Too much dead cap...

The 5th year option was a sunk cost the moment we picked it up. Cutting him now or letting him walk later it's gone regardless.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

If Mayfield got injured, would you really wanna start Corral?

Yes. Mayfield for all his flaws has been a successful starter at one point but Sam has been the same going back to USC. If push comes to shove you just cut your losses and be done with it.

    • I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.
    • I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--
    • After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
