Quote:Wjo draws more interest in free agency means absolutely nothing, contracts and draft picks arent the same thing. The vikings didnt get fleeced at all. A first round pick for them wasnt a detriment given how complete they are, they took a shot to rent a qb and take advantage of their window. It didnt work out but thats not on bradford.


What is Jimmys upside? Can you break down why you think hell get vastly better at anything besides just assuming so because he hasnt played? Because Brock Osweiler was young and sat behind one of the greatest qbs to ever play and his upside is nowhere to be found, or how about Ryan Mallets upside? or how about Landry Jones? He was young once, sat behind big ben for awhile and hes still a [BAD WORD REMOVED] quarterback. This upside thing is a fallacy. No one is giving up multiple firsts for Jimmy Garropolo.


let me repeat this one more time. NO ONE IS PAYING MULTIPLE FIRSTS FOR A BACKUP WHO HAS STARTED 2 GAMES.


The idea that Sam Bradford got a first round pick only because of the situation the Vikings were in does not apply to Jimmy. It has nothing to do with what hell get, and it doesnt change the value of first round picks going forward.


Jimmy Garropolo is not worth multiple firsts


He isnt. There's absolutely no justification for this idea. Its just flat out wrong, and it isnt happening.

 

 

I never said Jimmy G. was worth multiple first, but someone is likely going to pay it. At worst, the Pats will get a 1st and a 2nd. QB's get overvalued and when there are as many QB starved teams as there is now and a draft class that is so poor, there may not even be a single QB taken in round 1, (if Trubisky stays in school), then guys like Jimmy G. are going to attract a lot of interest. The more interest there is, the higher the price tag will be. It's simply supply and demand.
