So which QB do we think will be available at #9?

I doubt Stroud is sad about having options.

I think we'll see more and more of these potential draft candidates elect to stay a year or two longer in school.  Some of these NIL deals can be rather lucrative from what I hear.

Sad for him? No.

I think it's sad that we've come to a point where things like that can happen though.

Likewise, a point where LSU needs additional security at gymnastics meets because creepy guys are there to ogle Olivia Dunne

I think someone will trade with Bears and grab a quarterback and don't think it will be Panthers.   Colts, maybe?

It's safe to say Young and Stroud will be gone early, I am hoping someone drops to us like Will Levis or Anthony Richardson.

Am I being delusional?  Is trading up our only option to land one of the top 4 QBs in the class?

I went back over the last 10 drafts and the fourth best qb was available at 9. Now some years that fourth qb was picked at 10. I suspect that Richardson for one should be there.

Combine is key for AR. If shows up like hes capable, he will go BEFORE 9.(im betting yes) Theres lots of whispers out there of him running a 4.4_ . That would set his stock ablaze. Even a 4.59 would have a big effect....

The other top three are long gone too. Levis will show off the arm canon(im betting yes) and have a zack wilson effect. The AR side of it is.......hes got the same hose canon.  

I dont buy the panthers talk about not liking QBs, I bet they do and in order to get one, its trade up.

There won't be a QB available at 9 that I would use the 9th pick on. In fact I don't see a QB that could be available at 9 that I would choose in the 1st round
