I’d prefer giving hurts a shot for at least a year too but I wouldn’t hate it if the eagles go QB. I don’t really want to trade up for one though. If lance is there at #6 as the 4th QB I’d be fine with that pick.Quote:

That is usually a pretty good strategy, picking off ball linebackers and rbs in the top 10 is pretty stupid imo.Quote:

At 6 though? Taking a QB would be a great idea if it’s the right guy. If he plays really well and has an amazing 2021 season you get nice value for jalen next offseason. Won’t be. 2 per se but you never know.
If they drafted lance and he’s all that and more it was worth it.
The future is unclear, we don’t even know the next time the eagles will be in position to draft a good QB prospect. This year at #6 there should be a QB prospect there that would probably be a top 3ish prospect in most other drafts. Hurts and the eagles would really have to tank just to be in that position again.Quote:

I really hope you guys don't take a QB since you pick in front of us.Quote:

I won’t be convinced that taking another QBs that high in what is now a 5 year span is a good idea.
I just don't agree with how you're looking at it. You aren't drafting "another QB". You're drafting Trey Lance, Justin Fields, etc. I think your evaluation of that specific player should drive decision. I certainly understand where you're coming from and it's very logical. But if Lance or whoever is a stud then when we look back with hindsight we'll say that should have been the move (unless Hurts is also a stud).Quote:

Because those guys are in every draft.Quote:

All that’s being said is the “evaluation” drives the pick not the position
I'm not super high on Fields, but there's 4 guys in this class who are better than most classes. Unless someone comes out of nowhere like Burrow, the 2022 class looks like it has one good prospect, and I don't think he's better than Lawrence or Wilson and doesn't have the upside of Lance.Quote:
