I just don't see any other team willing to trade up to #1 given the state of the players in this draft. Maybe we could find teams to trade that #33 pick to, but I have a feeling that #1 pick is gonna be something we are stuck with given that this QB class is extremely underwhelming. Kenny Pickett is the top QB in this class and he really struggled in bad weather situations during the Senior Bowl. It was a constant source of debate during that week.

One of these QB needy teams is going to get nervous and go gaga over Pickett, Corral, or Willis.  Let's see the combine and free agency shake out.  We may well get a trade partner.

I would love that but I just don’t think this is the year a team trades up to #1.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and they said they have never had their top QB ranked outside their top 10 overall players. This year, the top QB is ranked 20 (Sam Howell). And that the top ranked QB in this class would have been #6 last year behind Lawrence, Wilson, Fields, Lance, Mac…..

It’s just a super underwhelming class. Not to say it’s impossible for a trade up to happen this year but I think it’s extremely unlikely. Hope it happens though.
