Yes they need a QB for the long by haul but do you really think they have a top half first round grade on 4-5 of these QBs? I don’t. They will take one if a guy they rank highly is there, but they aren’t going to grab whatever is leftover just because fans and media think they should. And someone trading up is the same if not worse. It’s possible they fall in a way that everyone gets a guy they believe in, but I don’t see GMs staking their jobs on a move up for their 4th or 5th choice.
That's not how it works though. Teams like certain QB's over others due to their system and personality. I think the knocks on Rosen are overblown. I think the Jets like him and he will fall there. I think the Browns like Allen and Darnold. I think the Giants like Darnold. I also think a few teams covet Baker Mayfield, teams that might be willing to trade up.

Teams don't rank the QB's the same, they identify a guy they like best then they try to maneuver up for him. I think Allen or Mayfield will make it to 5 or 6 and some team will want them.
