How do you figure we are in a terrible spot when all the actual experts say we are in a great spot?? Makes no sense...

Lawrence is going first, this is a given.

Jets - Sewell, Chase, QB all on the table

Miami - Sewell, Chase, Smith all on the table

Atlanta - Needs to consider a QB to replace the aging Matt Ryan also linked to Pitts and Parsons.

If Justin Fields falls to 5, there will be teams that need a QB that want to move up and get one. Doesn't matter that Philly doesn't need one and they know we don't need one as there will be multiple teams competing with each other to get on the board as soon as they can to get their QB.

If happens literally all the time. Jets moved to 3 to get Darnold, when Indy didn't need a QB and the next pick was Cleveland who had Baker.

Buffalo moved up to 7 to take Josh Allen trading with the Bucs and jumping in front of Chicago who had just taken Trubisky the year before.

Speaking of Trubisky, the Bears moved up 1 spot, flipping with the 49ers to go from 3 to 2 so that San Fran wouldn't trade with anyone else and Chicago could take the guy they wanted.



I want to see Chase and Pitts both off the board by 5. This means we either do the smart thing and take Sewell or do the other smart thing and trade back since there would still be 2 of the top QBs sitting on the board. This makes teams like Carolina, San Fran, New England, and Washington all wanting to get up there first to take their guy.

Also, Detroit literally has had it written about them that they are not satisfied with Goff.

He is being viewed as a short term solution, so saying Detroit is not going QB is just flat out wrong.
