The Case Against a 'Splash' QB Move

[Rhino-Rhino]

Word coming out of WFAN radio (New York sports radio ) yesterday was that the new regime in NY is not hellbent on moving on from Darnold . I get the feeling they believe the same thing we've been saying about him, solid QB with potential but was in a bad situation. They may give him another shot and use that #2 pick to build around him. I always take pre draft fodder for what it is

 

[SilentThreat]

the smartest thing they could do is trade a haul for that no. 2 pick and rebuild that roster.

I think the problem is finding a suitor(s) who is willing to pay your price. I haven’t looked at data but it just seems like big draft move ups are not as common as they used to be?

fair, but i would be trotting around the yard right now shopping the hell out of the number 2 pick, unless they love Penei Sewell the same way we loved Chase Young. Open the phone lines up and see what happens... worst case scenario they pick between Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, and the best OT prospect since Trent Williams.

if we pick up Justin Fields I will scream.

I haven't heard anybody mention Mac Jones

They may love Mac Jones... who knows? That's one thing about this current regime - they do not telegraph what they are thinking. I don't think I've ever seen a time when the local media guys and national 'experts' are so consistently wrong about what is going on and what the team will ultimately do. They literally have no better idea than the average fan what is going to transpire. There are a number of boom or bust QBs in this draft, guys that depending on who you listen to either have huge ceilings or huge bust potential. I think Mac Jones falls into that category.

He's included in our "BGO Mock Draft" where members can vote on who they want to take

BGO Mock Draft Round 1 - Poll Closed

Welcome to the BGO Mock Draft. Wanted to do something a little different and give everyone a VOTE! I will include a handful prospects that I've found could be around when we pick and let YOU all have a voice. I will include a highlight package from each prospect (when available) and a link to...

He's absolutely an option there, but his lack of mobility would contradict what Rivera has looked for in the past... i wonder if he's worth 19... maybe trade back and get him in the mid - late 20s?

This may be the single greatest thing that the new regime has brought to this organization.
