Depending on who ends up with the pick, right now he’s the guy. Others are good enough that they can emerge, but in September, his stock os highest.I like Rattler to go #1
It'll probably happen just because NFL front offices are stupid but any GM who takes a QB first over Thibodeaux or Hutchinson should be fired immediately
This year's guys are not as impressive as prior years or what is expected to be available next year. No point in taking a QB unless, you are prepared to commit the entire length of his rookie deal in developing him IMO. Unless you believe that there is a Herbert potential QB in Willis/Corral/Pickett that can be unlocked, I wouldn't take a QB in the top 5 if I was one of the bad teams this year. Different story if I'm WAS, DEN, PIT, etc. and one of those guys is available for me when my turn comes as I have a better supporting cast to help develop the QB, vs putting so much on his plate early in his career.If the Lions took a QB, they can definitely cut Goff. I don’t think it will happen, but if they have a guy, you’re not winning next year anyways, who cares about $30m in dead cap
QBs shouldn't start coming off the board until the Washington, Pittsburgh, etc portion of the draft, solid teams not drafting in the top 10 who need clear successors. Any rebuilding team should just wait for next year's vastly superior class.
Quarterbacks will rise up during the draft process. They always do.
If you identify someone as you guy, and he's a QB, and you're willing to put the future of your program on him, you go and get him. But you don't do it just because you're taking a QB just because you think you should.Food for thought: do the Lions take a QB with the Rams' 1st and/or use it as part of a package to trade up for a QB?

Too large a gap between their pick and the Rams pick to grab a QB.I agree, but I was more wondering aloud if anyone thinks it possible that the Lions will do it in reality and less about whether or not it makes actual sense.
