I see a #2 overall pick who is no different that Pat Mahomes in style, production, potential or problems.
Moreover, I see 3 teams that would demand that you move heaven and earth to get those picks from them. The 49ers and Browns have done enough foundation work and it's time to get their QB. The Jets are a NY squad and they can't come out of yet another draft without a quarterback and not get barbecued by the media.
In short, if McShay is anywhere close to right, the Chiefs would have a zero percent chance of getting any of those 3. Zero. Offer them 3 firsts and 2 seconds and you probably can't get there. And your prize for doing so? Getting to 2 so you can take a couple of players who aren't appreciably better bets than Mahomes to actually succeed (oh, and you'll wait another year to find out). Because nobody's moving out of 1.1 regardless of cost if Darnold is as expected and declares, especially not all the way into the 20s.
The "wait for the '18" class crowd was just retarded. [Reply]

It gets even worse if Darnold decides not to come out early. [Reply]

He's got the Raiders taking a running back in the first, I guess Lynch doesn't work out in his view and apparently the Raiders D takes a big step forward . [Reply]

My exact thoughts.
We aren't getting any of the big QB's in next year's draft.
