Pace picks Fields because Nagy is sold on Fields due to his discussions with Day. Nagy is also sold on Fields because again he can make every throw Darnold can make, is a better runner and had better college production.
Your claim that it is in a different manner than Pace when Pace did in fact chose Fields is fucking moronic. You are literally making up a scenario that did not happen and presuming based on worthless draft experts that your scenario would come to pass when the reality is Pace and Nagy chose Fields.
You need really compelling evidence beyond Mel Kiper had Darnold ranked higher to ignore the actual reality that occurred in this universe where Pace and Nagy did in fact trade up for Fields. The hubris of a Lions fan pretending he knows what Pace would do in an alternate reality when it is quite obvious they loved Fields is amazing.
Classic, accuses me of logical Fallacy and then trots out this gem.....

Straw man much?
Quit while your only a little behind.
Pace picks Darnold because Nagy is sold on Darnold due to his discussions with blah blah blah. Nagy is also sold on Darnold because of his better pocket awareness, his ability to make quicker decisions, and doesn't panic when under pressure. he just got done with one mental midget that couldn't make quick decisions, he doesn't want to do it again.

Pace and Nagy choosing Fields means nothing in this topic of discussion, or did you miss that point? You are literally grasping at straws here now. The question was, and listen closely , who was the better prospect, Darnold or Fields? If both would have been available, which one would have Pace chosen?
You have not provided one argument other that personal conjecture that if both available as rookies in the same draft, Pace would have chosen Fields.
You seem to have it in your mind I am trying to tear down Fields, when I am on record as saying I think he was a great (albeit lucky) pick. But nothing, and I Repeat nothing, in Pace's past history supports your argument.
You have also once again taken where I was going with this and spun it down your remy vortex. The point is, Darnold is a perfect example of a good prospect potentially ruined by piss poor development and supporting cast. It will be very interesting to see what Joe Brady can do with him, who I have much more faith in that I do Nagy. Nothing, and I repeat nothing Nagy has done should give anyone any confidence he is capable of developing a rookie QB and playing to his strengths.
But alas, Nagy, the QB savant should be trusted more the Joe Brady, who preferred to have Darnold over Fields.
