I don't think that 5 QBs will be drafted in the top 15 -- that's only happened once (1999), and only 3 teams currently picking in the top 15 are desperate for a QB (Bengals, Dolphins, and Bucs).  I guess the Chargers (currently 14) could grab a Rivers replacement, and the Titans (15) could decide that Tannehill/Mariota is a no go.  I think Titans are more likely to go QB than Chargers.  Carolina (19) could trade up, I guess, since the scuttlebutt is that Cam is no mas and Kyle Allen is mediocre.  So it could happen.  Man, that '99 draft is the stuff of nightmares ... if we pick No. 3 again, that's some real bad juju!

Or do you think that Eason will leapfrog Herbert and Fromm, and be the third QB off the board?  Pull a Josh Allen?  That would be disappointing, but the most likely scenario.  Even though it may not matter for us since I'm pretty sure we'll go Tua or Burrow regardless ...

If a team prefers traits and measurables over production, I can see Eason going ahead of Fromm. However, I think Eason only goes 4th QB at best. It wouldn't make any logical sense for him to go ahead of Tua, Herbert, and Burrow.
