I'd be ecstatic to draft either guy and I'm all in. After watching these guys today, I believe there is a chance, they may be the top two QB's taken in the draft. I wanna trade up, (which is something I'm normally 100% against.) Getting a franchise QB may be that one missing piece that gets us to the promised land though and I don't wanna screw this up. As soon as the season ends, I'd be on the phone with the Niners, Browns and Giants to see what the asking price is to move up. I'd pretty much be prepared to give up whatever picks they want, but I would continue to negotiate in order to get us the best deal possible. No sense in giving up a mint, if we don't have to. If the asking price is high though and they aren't budging, I pay it. Just this one time. I love these two QB's. I'm also a fan of Josh Rosen as well, but this is the second season in a row where he has missed multiple games due to injury and that is concerning. Darnold is playing much better, but I still have him way behind Rudolph and Mayfield. On top of that, he still hasn't addressed his mechanical issues. Rudolph and Mayfield are definitely my guys going into this draft. I'm gonna be so incredibly disappointed if we don't draft one of them. I see both being NFL stars.

There is a possibility we will be picking in the 20s.  You don't just move up in the top 5 and give teams what ever they want.  That is a Gene Smith type move, I'm good for moving up but there us a limit.  You would be a GM the teams in the top 5 would take advantage of.  No QB is ever a guarantee.  There will be a good QB when we pick or in the teens where we won't have to give up so much

If we get Cousins we won't be getting neither.  I could see us getting Finley

There will be QB's on the board when we pick, but unless their name is either Rudolph, Mayfield or even Rosen, I don't want them. You have to have clear targets in mind, especially at QB, when going into the draft. Rudolph and Mayfield are my targets. Those are the guys I see as franchise QB's. The Browns filled other positions last year and settled on a second round QB. Look what that got them.
