And something he expects to happen.

My first thought was this might suggest a trade is being discussed, because if it was a move to sign one of the remaining free agents, wouldn’t it have happened by now?

And any plan to pick a late-round QB would be far from guaranteed, because he couldn’t be certain is target was available.

The other possibility (as has been discussed) is he is planning a move up in the draft. But it would have to be a big jump up the board if he’s looking to get someone other than Rudolph or Jackson.  And I’m not sure we have the ability to do that without giving up our ability to replace our expensive veterans like Campbell, Jackson and Dareus.

So if it IS a trade, who are the options?


If we were to trade up with our 2nd round pick we would likely net the 17th pick. At that spot, we might be able to get Calvin Ridley, Mike McGlinchy, Roquan Smith or Dallas Goedert.


All worth considering.

But we’re not going to get a top QB there.

Maybe Jackson.
