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.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

That makes sense. I could certainly see him going ahead of Fromm.

I did not see this coming. Tanner Morgan is looking like a beast against Penn State.

Bungle for Burrow instead of Tank for Tua?
All hopes turn to next year

Tua has earned my respect. Not a bad game from him at all given the injury.

Been saying this for two months.
Everything in this post is my fault.

Tua made some really great throws in the second half and made it a football game, but Joe Burrow was surgical taking what he could get, escaping pressure and getting yards with his legs, and taking shots when he had the chance.

If they get the first pick, that's where I'd go. Then hope that Solomon Kindley is available to them in round 2. You have to give an investment like that some protection if that's where you're going. You can't put him behind this line, even with Jonah. They need at least 1, possibly 2 more upgrades.

He likely has more talent around him at LSU than he would here.
