ORIGINAL: Todd M Gun to my head I think getting to 5 for JJM is the most prudent move. What do you propose as the cost to trade up from 11 to 5? What if McCarthy is gone, but Maye is available? Maybe next years #1 and a 3rd? And yes to Maye. I suppose that's possible if you're including this year's 11th overall pick. Probably take next year's #2 instead of 3. Very good chance 1 of Maye or McCarthy will be available at 11 if we don't move up. Do you believe either or both of them will be Super Bowl quality QBs? I'm an absolute no on McCarthy. The first quarter of the semifinal game was all I needed to see. HOF then? McCarthy had a sensational team around him. He doesn't strike me as a great NFL player. Here is some of the other quarterbacks that won national titles over the past 20 years. It doesn't equate to greatness in the NFL: Stetson Bennett Mac Jones Joe Burrow Tua Trevor Lawrence Jalen Hurts Deshaun Watson Jake Coker Cardale Jones Jameis Winston AJ McCarron Cam Newton Greg McElroy Tim Tebow Matt Flynn Chris Leek Vince Young Matt Leinert Matt Mauck Craig Krenzel 7 of those have had a lot of success. Way better than average success rate for QB draft picks. I count five or six. Burrow, Tua, Hurts, Cam. Lots of money spent on Watson for very little return (Flacco had the most success on that team in 2023). The jury is still (very much) out on Lawrence, IMO. The bottom line is, winning in college does not equate to being a great NFL quarterback. It equates to a much better chance of success than random drafted QBs.
