You may be right.

There is typically a big market for the first pick in day 2, and that's not even counting if a well regarded QB drops.

Furthermore, I don't think there is a huge need for young QBs with the teams picking below us after 25.

26.  Cleveland-They just reached the divisional round of the playoffs and gave KC everything they wanted.  In Cleveland's mind, they have to be okay with Mayfield, who is still on his rookie deal.


27.  Baltimore-They have a young Lamar Jackson still on his rookie deal.  Don't think the Ravens are in a hurry to replace him or even draft his backup, as much as they are to get him a bigger more physical WR or two.


28.  New Orleans-Even though it is likely Brees retires, they are still decently stocked at the position.


29.  Green Bay-they have Aaron Rodgers and just drafted Jordan Love in the first round last April.  Taking another QB is the last thing on their minds.

30.  Buffalo-have one of the best young QBs in the game in Josh Allen (as much as it saddens me to admit)


31.  Kansas City-Mahomes-Given how he ran for his life all Super Bowl long, it wouldn't shock me to see them re-stock the T position.  Value would seem to be there and it would fill a need for depth.

32.  Tampa Bay-they have the GOAT, but despite his level of play, he's no spring chicken.  I could easily see them taking a QB there to groom as his backup/replacement.

Going into the 2nd round....

33.  Jacksonville....

34.  N.Y. Jets-one way or another, their QB position will be settled by draft day with either Darnold, Watson, or one of the first round rookies.  Doubt they trade up for one

35.  Atlanta-see Jets above, only substitute Matt Ryan for Darnold and exclude the Watson trade speculation.

36.  Miami-Don't see them in the market at all.  Even assuming they are ready to cut bait on Tua after one year (Doubtful), if they were to draft his replacement this year, I think it would be early in the first, not in the 2nd round, and not trade up into the bottom of the first when they also have the #18 pick.

The first teams that may be interested in trading up into the bottom of the 1st/top of the 2nd for a QB are Carolina and Denver, who are low enough in the  draft order to possibly miss out on their guy at the top of the first, but still have enough of a need at the position to move up if their guy is there.
