Broncos are going to be the first shock of the draft and leave Mayfield there for a defensive player. We swoop in and take him with the next pick. Mark it down.
I don't know what the right answer is. Be much easier to take if we were already in the top 10. What confuses me is people saying we can fill spots with later picks after trading up. That idea seems dubious to me. Your giving up those picks moving up aren't you? Especially if trying to get up to #2.
I keep thinking about the 2012 draft. After the obvious #1 pick and where all the QB's went that we would give a kings ransom ( in Foles case a 1st rounder maybe)for today. Has the QB evaluation process improved that much since then? I can see it in my mind..3 years from now everyone saying Beane really dropped the ball on this draft giving up so much to pick _______? When he could have waited and picked _______?
I'm guessing they wait to see what happens with the Denver pick. If a guy they want is still there they will move up to whatever spot it takes to get him.
I think you got it 100% correct here. The only fly in the proverbial ointment might be Barkley. There is always the chance they think Eli can still get it done for 2-3 more years and they want to make a run. Getting a stud RB would change the dynamics of that offense on day 1.
I was thinking QB's going 1-2-3 was not realistic when I first heard it. After thinking about it Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield kinda doesn't seem that far fetched.
I'm hoping you are right and they aren't really thinking about it. I really do.
Problem is going to be would the Giants? They have a 53 year old QB that hasn't played that well in awhile. Maybe they are thinking the same thing? Eli to Rosen for the next decade might be too good to pass at any price.
