1st pick and a QB needy team like Denver sitting at like the 3rd pick would be ideal. They trade up to #1 for Tua, we take whichever one of Young/Jeudy falls to 3. Then if Haskins continues to suck, we take a shot at Lawrence in 21.

You think Denver is a QB needy team after drafting Drew Lock who hasn’t had a chance to play yet?

You okay, buddy? That was surprisingly lucid.

Denver just drafted Drew Lock. Their main problem is their OL. 

Garrett Bowles has been a bust of a 1st round pick at LT. I thought I heard he was most penalized OL in the NFL since he was drafted. He had 12 penalties last year.

Their OL was supposed to be improved with the drafting of LG Dalton Risner but his transition from RT to LG hasn't gone as smoothly as they'd like it to have gone so far. So, blocking on the left side of their OL has been an issue from these two young players.

On top of that, Ronald Leary is returning from another injury. He had a torn achillies last year and hasn't been the same yet this year as he's working his way back.

They didn’t invest a first rounder so they don’t care. That’s usually the way of it. 

Most teams don't do that. What the Cardinals did last year was an aberration. I honestly only remember the Cowboys a team taking a first or second-round QB in one draft and then the next draft taking another one when they drafted Aikman & the then Walsh. Almost every time, teams give their young QB a few years to develop before they consider replacing him.

Just bc the Cardinals did it, doesn't make it the rule, their decision was still an aberration.

In fact, it's happened just two previous times in the last 50 years. In 1989, the Cowboys took UCLA's Troy Aikman first overall -- and yet, later that offseason, gave up their 1990 first-round pick in the 1989 supplemental draft to take Miami's Steve Walsh. Walsh and Aikman battled as rookies before Aikman ultimately won the job and went on to a Hall of Fame career.

The other time it happened in actual consecutive years was when the Colts used the second of two first-rounders (still fourth overall) in 1982 to take Art Schlichter of Ohio State. A year later, they drafted Stanford's John Elway first overall. The Elway story is well known, because he let the Colts know he'd never play for them -- saying he'd play baseball for the Yankees -- and eventually was traded to the Broncos. The Colts needed a QB, though, because Schlichter was suspended by the league for gambling after just a season. The situation couldn't have been more complicated.

There was an era in the NFL when teams spent first-rounders on QBs in back-to-back years a few times, however. The 49ers did it in 1956 and 1957. The Redskins did it three straight years, in 1959, 1960 and 1961. The Rams also did it three straight years, in 1962, 1963 and 1964.

I'm saying they care less. If they aren't thrilled by Lock, and they're staring Tua in the face, they're going to 100% do their due diligence and AT WORST try for something. Times have changed. 

Also:

Jimmy Clausen (2010) / Cam Newton (2011)
Sean Mannion (2015) / Jared Goff (2016)
