Pre Draft Thread 2.0

The real question is, who is the traitor in the organization leaking this stuff. Remember year Chiefs took Mahomes, traded up, NO ONE knew they were interested. Unless this is disinfo, meant to make another team trade up for QB and help ensure all five QBs gone so we get better player when we pick, you would NOT want stuff like this leaked, as you up the price.

Probably Ryan Fitzpatrick. :D

Given what I've read about Lance maybe he's worth trading up for, but I can't see that trade coming before draft day at least, simply because he could easily be the 49ers target all along, and given it's almost nailed on that would only leave Fields and Jones available, at #4 you wouldn't risk trading up to top 10 if you had no chance of getting the guy you want. I'm betting we don't want Fields after one OSU QB burnt us already and I don't see us giving up a lot for a chance at Jones. So I wouldn't trade up unless we had a guarantee of getting Lance.

I'd still strongly consider Jones if he fell to #19 but I wouldn't trade into the top 10 for him.

The Trey Lance comparisons to Cam Newton are laughable.

Since when did ND State play an SEC schedule? With only one year of play under his belt, Lance is the riskiest pick of QB's going.

Kellen Mond has a much higher floor with over 45 starts on his resume, and is as arguably as athletic, as Lance. And could be had in the 3rd or maybe 4th round. If he busts out, you only missed with a 3rd or 4th round pick.

I'd also throw the Stanford QB out there as a better option.

Praying that this is a huge smoke screen ....

I'm fine with trading up to like 13 to get Lance but into the top 6? No way

Now the media is just getting stupid. I highly doubt Rivera would do this after the smart approaches he's taken to free agency signings over the last 2 years. He's about high value moves.

TREY LANCE
QB, COLLEGE PLAYER

The Athletic's Michael Lombardi reports the Washington Football Team could "unload all their picks" to move up in the NFL Draft and select North Dakota State's Trey Lance.
"I think they love Lance. I don't think, I know Washington loves Lance," Lombardi said on a recent GM Shuffle Pod. "I think they're willing to go get him." The Football Team trading away a bunch of picks to move into Atlanta's No. 4 draft spot would upend the entire draft, changing plans for most teams outside the top five or six selections. Lance in Washington would hardly be ideal for Terry McLaurin, as the Football Team would most likely operate a run-heavy offense centered on Lance and Antonio Gibson. Even if he gets the Week 1 gig, Ryan Fitzpatrick could once again be usurped by a rookie if Washington lands Lance.

LOL I wish the draft was tonight

Must be an echo in here with these Lance rumors.

It's so dumb. NO WAY WFT is trading into the top 10 for Lance. I hope Atlanta takes him at 4.

I don't think it's realistic that we'd trade up to 4, but what if he starts to slide down towards the 10-12 range? That's probably when teams will start calling.

In the end if he's the next Mahomes there's no price that's too much.

Trading all of our picks for an unproven, 1 year starter is the most Redskinsey thing I’ve ever heard.
It must be true.. 😢
Hopefully some other poor fool of a team will save us from ourselves. 😁
