ers (who happened If the Bengals were told today that they could trade Joe Burrow straight up for Jerry Juedy how would they respond?
If the Jags were told today that they could trade Trevor Lawrence straight up for Jamar Chase how would they respond?
Your idea that Williams or Maye won't be an NFL franchise QB because of the success rate of previous top 5 QBs is quite simply idiotic.
But considering you said you would rather pass up using your own pick to draft Williams or Maye to trade up to take a QB like Sheadur Sanders in 2025 I am not surprised.
Oh, and here is the QBs taken in the top 5 the last 5 years. Lawrence, Burrow, Young, Stroud, Wilson, Lance, and Tua. 4 no doubt franchise QB.
Are you a child?
The Bengals had every opportunity to select Juedy over Burrow. The Jags had every opportunity to select Chase over Lawrence, followed by the Jets, then the 49ers (who paid a king's ransom for that pick).
When did I ever say I wanted Shadeur Sanders?
On the track record of early picks: a) I was accused of
cherry picking (by Navery) when I pointed out the success (more accurately failure) rate of early pick QB's. Over the time frame that I mentioned, you selected (cherry picked may be more accurate) the only two who don't fall into either the category of failure or the jury is still out.
First question for you: How many Lincoln Riley QB's have been picked early in recent drafts?
Next question: How many of the above don't qualify as failures?
Additional question: Caleb Williams is being developed by who?
You posted that Williams and Maye are
widely considered better than anyone coming into the draft next year. In and around Veteran's Day 2018 how many then senior QB's were
widely considered better than Joe Burrow?
When he entered the draft with eligibility remaining, Patrick Mahomes was given a third round grade by the panel that reviews early entrants and advised by them (and many teams) to return to school to try to improve his draft grade. When the Chiefs traded (with a team that needed a QB) and selected him, many criticized the move. The
experts don't have quite the expertise at evaluating QB's as they do at other positions.
The reality is that there is more reason to believe that Williams and Maye will not end up being anything than there is to believe they will. In all candor, a pick as high as what we will have in the first round next spring needs to hit at a 95+% rate. QBs selected that high aren't hitting at 40%
Tell me, what is it about your evaluation of either Williams or Maye that tells you he will be top tier QB? From what I've read, you have a strong belief that at least one will be a star. to be a top pick, I would imagine that the player needs to project to be a star.
Next question: For the sake of argument, let's say we can't beat the Patriots when we play them and end up picking third (after Chicago, with Carolina's pick and Arizona). Also, for the sake of argument, let's say Arizona puts their pick up for auction (we can assume they still believe in Murray) and Chicago decides to select the QB you do not prefer (out of Williams and Maye). Would you try to work out a trade with Arizona and what would you offer? Please be realistic in this as teams tend to throw quite a bit of draft capital to move up one or two spots to pick a QB.
