Not crazy about trading up. Most of the time you lose out. To state the obvious we need to come out of this draft with a starting QB. I am not saying we have to draft one, but you just cannot have a repeat of this crap. We are in a shitty situation with people at the controls that I can only pray get lucky. I have zero faith that they do it with talent.

Both these guys are more likely to bust than hit. Not comping them, but it's like the 2018 draft. Baker, Darnold, Allen, Josh Rosen. Four of the top ten picks. Three lemons, one diamond. You want to be the guy who trades up for Stroud or Young, only to have Levis turn out to be Josh Allen, and not Ryan Leaf (not saying he is Allen-like, only that more top of the draft QB's bust than hit.) I mean Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota, Jarod Goff and Wentz, Mitch Trubisky, Mayfield and Darnold, Kyler Murray (maybe the best of this list, but still not really showing he's a franchise guy). 2020 was an exception with Joe Burrow, Tua, and Herbert all living up to/exceeding their pre-draft hype. And to comp those two to Wilson (unless you mean this year's Wilson), and Aaron Freaking Rodgers, is insane. And anyone who thinks it is a good idea to trade up to get one should be fired from their GM position immediately. |

Stroud is not a plug and play franchise QB. Just stop it, its asinine.

So we're #4.
Bears - Will Anderson Texans - Young or Stroud Cardinals - Myles Murphy or Jalen Carter ?? Colts - Young or Stroud I'm still not sold on either Stroud or Young being "can't miss" type of QB prospects, but they're both better and provide more promise than anything else we've had in quite some time. I think I'd prefer Stroud over Young, but with it feeling like both have more bust than boom potential, I'm not sure it really matters. Will be interesting since it appears both will be drafted to the same division which will create even more intrigue with all of this for the next several years. |

So it’s not as simple as the Colts are at number 4 so they’ll get one of the 2 top quarterbacks. Also, Arizona will fire their coach and who knows if the new coach will be on board with Murray. He may want his own guy. |

BUT... There sure seems to be a lot of uncertainty with these kids. And consider that our GM has a known philosophy of A.) not reaching with draft picks, B.) not paying "A" prices (including draft capital) for "B" players, and C.) he clearly values trading back and accumulating picks. On top of all that... realize that there is a slew of QB-needy teams lined up right behind us: #5 SEA #6 DET (maybe) #7 LV #8 ATL #9 CAR These teams might like these kids a lot more than us. And further, they might be willing to make one of these ludicrous trades to move up and get one. In that case, I really wouldn't be surprised if we sit tight and take BPA. I mean, shit, I actually don't know if I would be surprised if Ballard is the one that trades out of #4 for a bunch of picks. |

Also, of course drafting a franchise QB is a gamble, always is, always will be, but it's a gamble you HAVE to take if you want to be successful in the NFL. You HAVE to draft one and HAVE to hit on him to be a successful franchise. That's just how it works. No way to avoid that in the modern NFL. Quote:
