Am I the only one who thinks Atlanta will go QB?

The amount of mocks I’ve seen without anyone mocking them a QB blows my mind. Ridder isn’t the long term solution and if 1 of the 4 are still on the board I think you have to try

Super possible. I don't think they go into next season with Ridder penciled in at starter. Does that mean draft? FA? Trade? Who knows? But yeah, taking a QB in the 1st round is definitely very possible for them.

Derek Carr.

They have a lot of holes, I see them taking the best defensive player. Maybe they fall in love with a QB there, I can see it going either way but my best guess would be them taking a D.

Unless Stroud or Young fall (they won't) I don't like our chances at getting a franchise QB this draft, but I'd still try with Levis or whoever. We gotta just start throwing those darts out there on legit top prospects. Corral doesn't fit that bill. If whoever we draft this year sucks for 2 years, then try again and rinse and repeat until we solve the issue.

I think Carr will try to find him a much better landing spot than ATL. I wouldn't be surprised to see him suiting up for the Giants.

Then why draft him in the first place? You think they drafted him #74 last year to be a permanent backup?  I'm not aware of NFL teams that draft qb's every single year, but our fans think we and Atlanta should start a trend.

They figured at 74 it was good enough value to take a shot and see what the kid had. The same thing we did with Corral.

Not quite sure why this is such a hard concept to grasp when dealing with the most important position in all of sports

This. If you take a swing there and land a franchise QB you got a massive steal. If he ends up being a decent backup it's still a pretty good pick. If he's an outright bust it still doesn't hurt you all that bad vs. typical 3rd round pick expectations. If you think there's a chance the guy is a starting QB the pick is well worth the risk.

I was thinking Derek Carr to Carolina.

Daniel Jones is going to get paid in NY.

[X-Clown]

My guess for Carr is the Jets or Commanders

I don't think the Giants are dumb enough to do that. They're doing as much as they can with Daniel Jones level QB play.

That would seriously test the perseverance of my fandom. I honestly think his ceiling is around how Darnold performed this year. 

I think it's more likely than not that his ceiling is how Darnold performed last year.

Yikes. If so, then I'd expect he'll drop in the draft like most of the 2022 QBs.

Hopefully he goes top-5 to someone else and Richardson slides.

Gastonia fans would love Richardson if he wore No. 15
