We can all have our favorites and think so and so is "Meh".... but us on the message board rarely get QB picks right.
Hell, most GMs can't get it right.

But if McVay and some of these coaches are showing you... if you're smart you can take a talented kid and make him successful in the NFL. 

I think a lot can happen when you go from college to pros.
Goff looked lost and like trash under Jeff Fisher. Mahomes was a turnover machine in an air raid offense in college and Reid has him looking like a monster.


I think there is plenty of talent to be had.
And I think it would be silly to keep waiting around for the next Brady to just land in our lap.

When your QB is Bortles you can't think Lock is "meh" if he can be had at 20, you take that guy, imo. (Unless there is a better QB available)
Also I think the probability of trading up to top 5 for a QB won't happen. Herbert is almost certainly out of the question. He's as good as a G-Man.

Why not? If the deal is right, I think it could happen. Would have to overpay? Most certainly, but what is overpaying when you could land a QB you view as a franchise guy for the next 10-15 years? I'm normally against giving up draft picks, but at this point, what good are they doing, when year after year, we are being held back by the lack of a consistent passing game? I for one, am in favor of trading whatever we have to, in order to get ahead of the Giants and select Herbert. Whether that be multiple first round picks and 2nd rounders or a player and multiple first round picks as well as other picks. If no deal can be reached, that's fine, but at least we tried. I still trade into the top 10 though and make sure we get one of the other top guys. It's time to find a reliable signal caller before we start losing defensive stars to free agency. The window is not going to stay open forever.
