Thread: Anyone drafting ahead of the Broncos in draft that needs a qb?

I've seen it posted on here before that the Lions want to move on from Stafford, but there is close to zero chance they could trade him and likely less than zero (Robert Downey Jr. sighting) chance they cut him.

He's got $19 million guaranteed in '19 and I think the dead money would be something like $50 million if he was released. That contract means that he's with the Lions at least through '19 and possibly '20 as well.

1. None of the rookie QB's will be starters this year unless it's on a rebuilding team...which we are not.
2. I'm going to assume that after free agency and due to Fangio, the defense is going to be elite again.
3. An average QB can win on a team with an elite defense
4. Would I rather the final year of Keenum running this ship? Or a manager like Tannehill on a 1-year "prove it deal"?

Only other options are trading for Foles or Flacco. My vote would be Tannehill for a year.

I agree with you that he's probably a better 2019 option than Keenum. Tannehill isn't spectacular and oft hurt, but he has a lot more starting experience, and success, than Keenum.

Foles is intriguing, but I think they are going to want a lot for him and he'll be paid franchise money. Flacco isn't an intriguing option to me.

Agreed on all.

So, if the options are a HEALTHY Tannehill, Flacco, expensive Foles or a rookie...I think the choice is obvious.

I know this was not your point, but just for the record. None of the QBs last year started right away either.

Washington is the biggest threat to move up. As it stands now, they have zero functioning QBs. They MUST do something...or multiple things.

I think Jax goes after Foles. His old OC is there and they have a roster (or at least should) built to win now.

NYG is interesting. The seem to be a no brainer to draft someone. Guess is depends on what they think of Haskins/Murray. They may wanna get a stud defender and bank on a 2nd round option. My guess is Haskins.

Although it's liar season and Miami may take a QB...I believe that they won't risk 2020 picks to move up for one.

I don't believe for a second Oakland or Tampa takes a QB. If Carr got traded...it would be to a team mentioned above, thus simply swapping places.

And that still leaves 1 big question...who gets Flacco?

Stidham's completion % got worse every year he played.

Jackson is intriguing.
