I see people saying 4 QBs taken before us. I'm not seeing it (as definite at least).
By my count the 4 before us is at least 50% wishful thinking. Browns, Giants, Colts, Jets. Giants and Colts are far from sure QBs.
Since Palmer retired Cousins would go to AZ before the Browns $100M cap space would tempt him so that could talk them into a QB at 1 or 4 but last year showed they won't jump on a QB high unless it is a sure thing. I think they've been burned on those sure things and are trigger shy.
1 Browns, maybe. They just took Kizer. Yes he's sucked but that's as a rookie. They sure wouldn't have cap issues to cut or keep either of their QBs along with a #1 pick.
2 Giants, not seeing it as a major need. A future move would be smart but they could do a trade down for that unless they think they can trade Manning so they're not waiting around with a #2 pick for 3-4 years. His contract goes through his career expectancy.
3 Colts, I would even if Luck was healthy but unless there's no hope for Luck to play they won't. Not affordable to cut.
4 Browns, their best move would be to take QBs 1 and 4, if they can't get better they may as well keep all the QBs out of the NFL before they have a chance to bust them. Otherwise see above.
5 Broncos, they should but will they? The contract and age tells me they're in "Pax is our QB" mode for a while.
6 Jets, this is the first definite yes for me.
7 Buccaneers, I would consider it for an upgrade but they won't.
Of who I've read about I want oline, Williams or McGlinchey or WR, Ridley. I could see those 3 being gone by #8 easier than I see 4 QBs taken before #8.
