A team still depleted of talent should give up two first picks for the opportunity to sign a dual threat QB with injury history to a record contract that will consume 20%+ of the annual salary cap on a single player? So the games when Lamar could play he has shit for talent, and the other 30% of time he isnāt on the field and they really get their ass kicked? And they canāt make up for it in free agency because they have no cap space. If it was Mahomes, no question. Or if it was someone who can consistently get you to the playoffs for the next 4-5 years without relying on their legs when youād expect a QB to start slowing down (or breaking down) after age 30, it is worth debating.
Iāve never been high on this QB class, but Iām at the point of just saying all these picks are just lottery tickets and you have to take one and hope for the best. Hopefully itās Stroud or Young and they donāt reach on Richardson who is far too risky. A month ago you could make an argument for taking Levis at 12, but heāll be gone by 9 if not earlier. They definitely shouldnāt give up a 1st or 2nd to move up to #1, because nobody knows with certainty who will turn out better between Young and Stroud.
