I think if a Dalton type comes here he will be a veteran backup and consultant, mentor for Howell. Not a starter. Not right away. Only if Howell shits the bed. If that happens we will have a high pick next year and we can draft someone early because a guy like Dalton or whoever comes in isn’t going to make a difference.

I hope you're right.

I agree. I just want EB to make the choice of who the vet is…and I’d still consider QB in the draft if we like him.

Options open on QB…my only exception would be an expensive one which folks have already expressed why that ain’t happening

If Young, Stroud, Richardson, or Levis falls to 16 what are you doing?

If any of the first 3 fall I’d take them. Levis, I’d pass.

Even later in the draft if we really like someone, take him.

Wonder what will happen with Heineke? I think we are going to wind up taking someone mid to late draft for sure if none of those guys fall.

Young and Stroud will be gone, especially if someone like Indy trade up with Chicago. In that case I doubt any of the 4 will be available. There are 5 or 6 teams above us likely to take a QB. Even so, do we want either of the other 2 if they're still on the board? Richardson is more likely to be another Haskins than a Mahomes at this stage, and Levis isn't ready either is he? We have one unproven rookie, do we start the season with 2? And assuming we pick up a vet (even if intended as a backup) what dynamic does that create in the QB room if Howell and Richardson both look raw? Unless Howell shits the bed, and gets cut, we could be forced into carrying 3 QBs with no clear cut starter, and each looking to pounce if the starter fails. If we draft a QB it I'd say it has to be a viable day 1 starter, and that guy won't be there at #16.
