Quote from: katkavage on January 28, 2024, 11:18:51 AMMG, those are, as of late January, the most probable options. There will be many others as we get closer to April.
Another option, though it's a long shot, is that the Giants could try to trade for the number one pick. It would be a risky move, but it is a possibility.
Also, as the teams evaluate these QBs much more closely, their status might change. Everyone right now has Williams, Maye and Daniels as locks going one, two and three. Maybe one of the top three teams find flaws in them and deem them not worthy of that high a pick? Maybe Nix, Penix and/or McCarthy elevate themselves in the evaluation process? Maybe Washington, after hiring Ben Johnson as head coach, decides, especially after, as a Detroit coach, seeing him play twice a year, that they will trade a second round (or third round, not sure what value he has), for Justin Fields, use their second pick on Harrison Jr, to team with their other very good WR, and go from there instead of gambling on Maye or Daniels. There will be multiple scenarios that might play out before draft day so, yes, everyone right now has the three QBs going first, that could very well change. I will say that Williams, of the the three, will not move. He will be the first pick. But it might not be Chicago who picks him. Maybe they swap with Washington, keep Fields, and draft the very talented Marvin Harrison? So many thing could happen between now and April's draft.
No doubt things can and likely will change. However, there are only a few things that will move the needle and the Senior Bowl is a big one. That's why I did this, so that we are up to speed and can participate or at least appreciate the changes you speak of. The Combine and interviews will be the other major movers with pro days playing a lesser role.
Later I will do similar writeup for McCarthy and perhaps the top 3.
In terms of trading up, I consider that a major Longshot. Teams needing QBs don't trade away there chance to draft an elete QB.
