I like this prediction. Feels like Grandal will eventually have to do something, although maybe not against Bieber.

We can get out of Keuchel’s contract after next season if manage his innings.

What did we give up to move up?

Our WR room is still pretty weak. Robinson is a stud and Mooney is promising, but we really need to invest in the position. Mooney is the only legit guy we have under contract after this season. You don’t trade up for a QB prospect and then stop adding weapons because of guys like Goodwin & Miller. We should be going all in the offense now.

100% agree.

When was the front office supposed to help him sooner though? He basically spent all of 2018 & 2019 rehabbing from his Achilles injury and then got into shape prior to last season.

If I’m Pace, I’m hoping that one of Eichenberg, Marshall, or Moore is there at #52. If not, I’m looking to trade down and grab more picks.

Who has checked all the boxes in the last five drafts?

So basically never invest in the position unless you are the worst team in football the handful of years a can't miss QB prospect is available? Sounds like a great plan!

I’ve got nothing but love for you buddy, but this is just crazy. You wouldn’t have taken Burrow last year? In all honesty, you don’t deserve a franchise QB if Manning/Luck/Lawrence are your standards.

@Jack Parkman - How do you ever expect to get a franchise QB if you only like the 1-1 in one of the deepest QB drafts in recent memory?

100% agree. Look at what the 49ers gave up for Lance compared to what we had to give up for Fields. I get the future 1st with the Bears is more attractive than the 49er’s firsts, but outside of that it’s mostly filler. And we still have our 2nd & 3rd round picks this year and can hopefully get Fields some protection and another weapon.

I'm speechless...this is incredible

100% good with that price!

FIELDS!?!?!

Holy shit?!!

This insane!? Where you at Pace??

I think you are right

Trade up Pace!

Wow...Panthers pass on Fields & Mac. Broncos the last threat before the Patriots or another team trading up.

Well here come the wild cards in CAR & DEN

Here is where things get interesting. The Lions want to deal this pick I imagine.

That’s a great point, but his hits have almost always been been 1st round picks though. I feel like it’s pretty much consensus that Mond is a 2nd round pick type talent.

Fully agree on the dart throw nature of drafting QBs. While early, Herbert performed the best out of the big three last year. Josh Allen has been better than Mayfield & Darnold. And obviously Mahomes & Watson have blown Mitch out the water and were absolute steals at #12 & #10 respectively. To me, if I can get one of Fields or Lance for a future 1st and a couple 3rds, I’m 100% going down that path. Lets you rock with them for the 2021 & 2022 seasons and either they’re a hit or hopefully you’re looking a very high pick come 2023. Either way, you need to keep taking bites at the apple when opportunities present themselves and both Fields & Lance are too talented to pass up on if the price is reasonable. Otherwise, load up on assets and hope an option presents itself next year.

Since 2000, no more than 7 QBs have been drafted in the first three rounds. If we can’t find a way to trade up for Fields/Lance, then we should trade down in the 1st and accumulate more draft capital. One of Mond/Mills/Trask should be there in the 4th and if not I’d simply take a stab on Jamie Newman. Should be tons of good OT & WR talent into the 3rd and we should be addressing those spots along with CB before taking a lottery ticket QB prospect.
