One thing to note is that in recent history (last 6 years), second round QBs haven't really been a thing and the ones that have been picked have been kind of disasters (kizer, lock, hack). Only hurts looks like something and his pick was kind of panned at the time. But 4 in 6 years is quirky. I feel like the nfl has just moved away from valuing them there, which is kind of weird because prior to this run, there was some success with those types (carr, Jimmy g, dalton, kaepernick). I just wonder if teams aren't moving towards a market where they are valuing those guys a little more later, especially ones without a special skill set. I thought Eason was easily worth a second last year and he fell to the 4th. I think it makes sense. Teams at the top of round 2 are typically so QB needy, that they take one in their draft position in the first, eliminating the need. Likewise, if a team is good enough to do well during the season but still needs that qb, waiting until the back end of the 2nd round is risky, and those QBs will get taken in the back of the first (lamar, teddy, love) and if for whatever reason a team needing a qb doesn't take one high in the first, they will with their high second. (dalton - green, carr - mack) in the case of kaep and jimmy, those were both smaller school kids that were either raw or flawed, but had enough to show something...but not necessarily first round picks, but upside picks. they were taken in the 2nd by teams that didn't necessarily need them at the time (pats and 49ers) (also, love again with GB) the trend that we are starting to see, especially at QB where they have always been drafted high, is that if a guy is a 2nd round talent, you better take him in take him in the first if you definitely want him. If a guy has traits but still questionable, maybe is a 3rd round talent, take him in the 2nd (hurts, and these are becoming much more rare). If teams start seeing guys that have traits, but aren't likely seen as starters, they're starting to go in the 4th or 5th round (eason, fromm) because teams are starting to realize that draft picks are wicked important, and are going to spend the top 3 rounds on players they expect to be impact starters. That is why we are seeing the death of late 2nd, early 3rd round qbs (foles, wilson). sure, there are definitely exceptions (dak, wilson, foles to an extent) but if a team believes a guy can be a starter, he goes in the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Eason was easily worth a second last year and he fell to the 4th. I wonder if this is due to teams developing a better understanding of the CBA. We're seeing more QBs drafted at the end of the 1st round. The 5th year option is valuable when it comes to QBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said earlier that if he wants to come to Chicago, the Bears should make that a priority. But...at that age, the price can't be super high. Can't do a Watson type trade for a guy eight years older.

I would trade two 1sts + some mid/late picks for him hands down. This guy is still one of the best QBs in the league and his resume speaks for itself. I don't think it has a realistic chance of happening though. Seahawks probably won't give him up for anything less than a haul of picks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saints at least have A quarterback the Seahawks might want--plus a ton of other players to choose from. (I think Brees retires for sure if the Saints go for Wilson.) I'm not sure the Bears have anything close to comparable firepower as these other teams--the Seahawks are going to want to remain relevant, they aren't looking for a full rebuild.

Ya I meant from Bears. Pace doesn't really have much to offer...nor do I believe the Saints do either. Cowboys and Raiders could send back Dak or Carr as part of the deal or their first round picks which are higher than Bears Bears are in a tough spot here.

41st ward Chicagoian Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 This Russel Wilson rumor is only out because it’s February with no combine to talk about so the NFL reporters need to fill content and write articles. There is zero chance it happens. Fun to talk about but not happening 🦄🌈🦄 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Wilson is not being traded. Seattle would have to take over 60 million in dead cap to trade him. It's funny how he decided to be so vocal about of all of this right after the same time he was already set to receive his 19M in guaranteed money for 2021.

Unfortunately, you have idiots who do believe everything they read on twitter or other social media outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I was just sharing a tweet I thought people would be interested in. Sharing a tweet doesn't always mean I believe it or endorse it. Neither does my liking a post. A lot of times I like something because I thought it was thoughtful or original or whatever. Not because that is my opinion as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
