That said, I would be THRILLED with Tua.  He would be my preference without a doubt.  I see him as a left handed Drew Brees.

But with Jay Gruden on staff, I am more comfortable taking Herbert and Love as well, because I think Gruden can develop him properly.

I think Tua is the best of the QB prospects.  I think Love is more of the Gruden type of QB prospects and I think Herbert is the more prototypical prospect.  Based on the Senior Bowl week and combineI think he has the mobility that might appeal to Gruden, but I think Love is better in that area.

No thanks. I think if you trade up to that 2nd overall pick and pass up on Chase Young you would be a damn fool. I don't think we'll trade up anyway to be honest with you. Washington is going to get him. 

I think they're going to fully commit to Minshew this year. I think your better QB prospects are in 2021 and not in 2020. I think Lawrence and Fields will end up being better PRO's than Burrow, Herbert & Tagovailoa. 

Love reeks of Trubisky to me. Pass on him too.

I focused more on the who to get part, and not at all on the trade up thing..  Mea culpa.

Focusing on the trade up aspect, history suggests this team will not trade up in the first round, though I will acknowledge that this is the first time since 1998 we've had more than one first round pick, and the first time since 1996 we've had this many picks in a draft with which to move.

I doubt we move up, unless maybe Tua falls below a certain point.  Considering the Bolts lost Rivers and did not land Brady, the Bolts are motivated to take a QB.

Excluding the Bengals, who I presume will not be trading down, these teams need a QB:

5. Miami
6. Chargers
7.  Panthers


All three have the luxury of superior draft position to ours, and Miami has the draft capital (both this year and next) to fight off any attempt by the Jaguars to bypass them.

I have to think the highest we trade up, if at all, is #4.
