The league has always valued quarterbacks, but lately the QB stock market has started spiking like Bitcoin. Virtually every quarterback has been a fast riser on the boards...except for those who were so close to the top that they had no further spot to jump. Teams will do *anything* to acquire a top 12 QB, to grab a guy who *might* be their QB salvation. Do you remember what the Rams gave Detroit? Did you see how big an offer Seattle received for Russell Wilson? Quarterbacks are now EVERYTHING.
As crazy as it sounds I could see five or six quarterbacks go in the top 15, and the top four picks could *all* be signal-callers. It only takes enough random GM's to have enough random beliefs... and an environment of full frenzy.
-Lawrence goes #1 as the next Andrew Luck
-The Jets grab Wilson as the next Steve Young
-The Patriots could see Mac Jones as the next Brady?
-Carolina thinks Trey Lance is the next Josh Allen?
-Eagles might see Fields as a Steve McNair or Desaun Watson
-Chris Simms has declared his belief in Mond, comparing him to Dak. It only takes one GM to see it the same
-Davis Mills was seen as day 2 pick until this week, where he scorched his 40-time and throwing session
There are now seven (7!) QBs in the discussion as possible franchise fits. And in the hunt? Jacksonville, NYJets, NY Giants, Chicago, New Orleans, New England, Denver, Carolina, Atlanta, WFT, San Francisco, Lions, Steelers...maybe even the Seahawks, Raiders, Bucs, Vikings, Texans, Dolphins.
Chum in the water. LOTS of HUNGRY sharks. Frenzy.
Quarterback starved teams aren't going to "wait their turn" in the draft. They are going to push their way towards the top of the draft to "get their guy."
I won't be surprised to see the Chargers get one of the top two tackles, or one of the top 3 defensive players. And if we are fortunate, we might be in position to snag a 2022 1st round draft pick merely to move down four or six spots. Trading to one of these many teams targeting a top-7 QB could help this franchise load up. We Chargers already have our quarterback!
