SHRacerX Mock 2.0 2020

That leaves Lance and, to a lesser extent, Trask as viable round 1 QB options.  This is a brief 'off the top of my head" list of teams that will be in the market for a QB on a rookie contract:

Carolina Panthers
Detroit Lions
Denver Broncos
SF 49ers
Chicago Bears
Minnesota Vikings
New England Patriots
Washington FT
Indianapolis colts
New Orleans Saints
pittsburgh

Listing those teams in order of current draft order tells me that there aren't really any desperate teams out there....I would say the Bears may be #1.  A lot of those teams have aging vets that could be close to finished.  Some have ho-hum options like Cousins, Bridgewater, or Alex Smith.  Some have a short term answer like Indy and the Pats.  Could I see any team likely to pick right behind the Bengals offer a ton to move up to get a QB?

Chargers- no
Cowboys- no
Falcons- Hmmm.   Probably no.
Panthers.  Hmmmm.  Again, probably no. 


The Bears are currently slated at #14 and it would take a shit ton for me to slide that far.  And I don't see them doing it.  

Unfortunately, it doesn't look to me like there could be the proverbial bidding war for that #3 pick.  At this point, like last year with Burrow, I am just assuming they get Sewell and I am working on the rest of the draft.  

Cowboys, Falcons, and Panthers I could see all of them going after a QB none of those teams have a superstar QB and all of them will be looking at a QB.
Also both the Jaguars and Jets have first Rd picks later in the draft either team could draft Sewell and trade back in the top 10 to draft a QB.
