Athletic mock from today Top 6 picks

Picked a bad week to stop eating paint chips....

We are ready to win now and the owner wants to win now. I doubt we'll take Richardson. Young would be obvious pick here.

Why, totally different coaching staff and mentality now.  Give these guys some time and we’ll see. 

Richardson can run and it bothers him. He has some issues he needs to work on…

[ForJimmy]

Trading to 3 is interesting. I wonder what it would cost and if a team pulls a Niners and trades up before the draft to insure a top 3 QB?

[Kentucky Panther]

He will be there at 9. No need to trade up. He will be 4th out of the perceived top 4 taken.

On record that I don’t want to risk it for AR15 and if we do want him no way in hell would I move up.  Outside of the Raiders (who are lost) nobody is moving in front of us for him…which is telling IMO

This would be equivalent to the Bears drafting Trubiski instead of Watson/Mahomes except worse lmao

He is way too raw from the pocket to trade up for.

He's 3 years away from starting and being effective. 

Why on God's green earth would you pay that big of a price for a lottery ticket?

It’s too early to tell, but it seems similar to Buffalo moving up for Allen. I’ll sit back and let Reich and Fitt do their thing. I’m actually some what confident in our staff to find a QB for once.

This is a completely reasonable post.  I agree

You don’t know what the price is and how many years it will take him to be ready. Stick to OL nut punching, that’s more your thing…

Well, I don’t see Josh Allen traits really at all with him.  Talk to me about Jalen Hurts as a comp and I can probably imagine it but Allen is different

Dude moving up from 9 to 3 for AR15 would be a mistake. 

Am I diametrically opposed to drafting him at 9? No but I'd rather get him at say 12 to 14.

There isn't a QB in this draft I would trade up for.

He is a good bit bigger and stronger than Hurts and Hurts was a better passer, but I can see some similarities in their playing style.
