My favorite teams
I would. This is Ryan “get fleeced” Pace we are talking about. Detroit can get a haul of draft picks and Pace would make the Bears worse. Win-Win for a division rival.

This is such a stupid narrative. If Justin Fields is there at 7 then give the Lions whatever they want. Fields is going to be an elite NFL QB and the second best QB in this draft. They should keep swinging for the fences and honestly I wouldn't be shocked at all if they give up multiple first round picks to move up, and they should.

If Pace was willing to sell the farm for Wilson why wouldn't he do the same for a shot at a top rookie QB. What has Pace got to lose his job.......it is lost anyway if he does not make a splash in the draft and he has to put out the same garbage offense we have seen in the last two years.
I hate the fact the Bears did not just clean house and fire Pace/Nagy, because Pace is now in a WTF situation in regards to Chicago's future.

Interesting that the Lions aren't interested in any of the elite non-QB talents of this draft. Penei Sewell and Kyle Pitts are big-time talents, guys who would contend for first overall in years without this kind of quarterback bounty available. They both could feasibly be available at seventh, so either the Lions aren't drinking the Kool Aid or the Lions don't think either will be around at seventh.

I would say the Lions are in a complete re-build and are more interested in getting a haul for the future than any single player.

I'd argue that Ja'Marr chase will go before Pitts. Cincinnati SHOULD draft Chase because of the chemistry between him and Burrow.

I think there is a good chance the Bengals go with first-overall quality left tackle to protect their quarterback. They might have this mindset though with Chase. This is part of the reason Pitts might faller much further than he would in most drafts, all he has to is make it past Atlanta and Miami and he's there at seventh overall.

I get that strategy but here's a chance to get an elite talent under a seventh overall contract for the next four years. Seems silly for even a rebuilding squad to pass that up, everyone needs elite talent.

Anybody have an idea of what it'd cost for us to go from 20 to 7? I'm thinking 3 1st rounders and a 2nd, at least.
I don't think Fields will be there at 7: it'll be either Jones or Lance.

If Atlanta goes quarterback the price of seventh overall goes down significantly.

I’d say the opposite would be true. There would be just 1 of the top 5 QBs left and still teams who need a QB. Bidding war.

are you sure he’s going to be “elite”?

Yeah but the fifth best quarterback in this draft will naturally draw fewer suitors than the choice between the fourth and fifth best quarterback in this draft.

No one is sure any of these quarterbacks are going to be elite, only that one or two could be. Odds say there will be at least one or more busts in those top five.

Closer to what the 9ers gave up firsts this year and 2022,2023 plus a 2022 third round pick. To be honest that may be a fleece job, but I think Pace would give that up in a heartbeat.

Some desperate teams out there looking for a QB.

I've watched every Ohio State game pretty much ever and yeah, I'd be surprised if he isn't really good to elite. He reads defenses at a high level, and is extremely accurate, not to mention his mobility.
I also really like Jaime Newman in the later rounds.
