I think I'm with Matty. In rounds 1 and 2 I think we need pieces in important positions. This year's QB crop is nothing to write home about - I don't think I'd invest one of our 1st or 2nd rounders this year, unless Pickett or Willis fell to round 2 which just won't happen.
I'd consider a QB on day three but even then, not sure I'd force it. I'd look harder at next year's QB crop once I have a year's worth of information about Wentz paired with Scott Turner.
Heinicke is under contract with us this year and makes for, frankly, the ideal backup QB situation. QB can be addressed in 2023 if needed.
Use that 1st and 2nd rounder on a wideout and a MLB, or something like that. Guys that can help us now, help put Wentz in a better position to succeed. We can shoot our shot next year if he isn't the answer.
1st rounder I would agree. That would be off the table. Anything after that is fair game.
Here is the problem w/ that. Let's say Wentz turns his knee again and is out for 8 weeks. You have a guy who plays on the edge and has an injury history. Or he goes back to 2020 Wentz. Then what? You are back to TH again for an extended period of time. Or you can possibly have let's say Sam Howell or Carson Strong.
Remember the 2012 draft? Shanahan nailed it and drafted two guys at QB cause he was not sold on the #1 guy. And the value was too good on Cousins.
I'd rather have possible quality depth at the most important position rather than fill a hole. I can fill holes in the second round of signings in free agency.
Well, TH is the #2, so if Wentz goes down it's going to be TH as the next man up over a rookie anyway.
Ok here he is, what are we looking for? lol

See Rex Grossman.
I'm trying so hard to understand this but I fear I'm just not that talented.
Are you trying to say that Rex Grossman was once a 3rd string QB and played an important role?
Or are you comparing Carson Wentz to John Beck?
Mom I need to stay home from school today, skinsfan69 gave me a headache.

Basically Ron and co need to have some forward thinking skills and make sure they have a back-up plan in case Wentz doesn't work out. They should plan on drafting a QB and have someone in the pipeline and hopefully that player can be the #2 and you have a vet like TH as the #3. I used the 2012 as an example where Rex was the #3 backing up two rookies. Obviously Wentz is not a rookie but he is new here.
As I have always said you need to be drafting Qb's. You can't count on Wentz being the long term solution.
