I get a Cutlerian vibe from this guy. Seems to be built like a franchise QB. Powerful arm, some beautiful passes, perfect bodytype. But he is lacking an "it" factor, is he not? He's not a world-beating, overcome-the-odds, particularly spiriting QB. Looks like he could have an okay career in the NFL in which he wins nothing of consequence.
Well if there was one Andy Reid QB in this entire draft, it's Trubisky, isn't it? Super accurate, doesn't take too many risks with the ball, is very mentally tough and very athletic. He's a slam dunk for the Chiefs to trade up for, if he lasts to the 20s, but in a QB-starved NFL with at least 6 new head coaches looking for their QB, there's no chance he lasts to us. [Reply]

Seems prospects are being projected correctly, but CP overhypes all of them. [Reply]

For the first time on this topic, even though you wouldn't know it since I rarely post, you and I disagree. We are going to get a 3rd for Poe next year, and who knows what else. Trading a future pick is the way to go if we see the guy we want in the mid teens.
I really would like Watson to slip a bit and us JUMP up to get him, even if it costs next year's first. If that doesn't happen, and Mahomes slides, we can use the 3rd to jump up, or more if necessary. The key is using next year's picks as well as the many comps we have this year.

My official position is draft the best player avaliable round 1. There are too many better players at other positions. Every QB in this draft is a project although I do like Watson who will be gone when the Chiefs pick. If they take a QB in the 2nd round I won't be pissed but I think continuing to build the roster and add depth is the way to go. The 2017 season is a throw away year. [Reply]

So when or how do you suggest we find a quarterback? [Reply]

Per Pelissero, his footwork—which CBSSports.com's Rob Rang described as "erratic"—was a significant issue raised by scouts. And while he has a big arm, he also could have been a lot more accurate.
The 21-year-old's numbers in measurable drills—4.84 forty, 30.5-inch vertical, 107-inch broad jump, 7.4-second three-cone drill—weren't strong either.

So what if we go 12-4 again and the top guys are again out of reach? We either blow our entire cap on a free agent or trade our entire draft to trade up? People will likely still be saying wait till next year. [Reply]
