Give me Lock in the 1st or Finley/Rypien/Grier in the 3rd or later.

I doubt Lock makes it out of the top 5 (due to trades) and he certainly won't make it past Denver at 10. Are you suggesting we trade up to get him?

I'm not sure Lock is a top 5 pick, Murray , Haskins and Jones could all go before him. Either way I would not trade up for any QB in this class outside of Murray

No, definitely don't want to move up. If Lock isn't there at 15 you fill one of our many other holes with BPA. If we don't get Lock I'd prefer White or Burns (Sweat too, but he'll be gone by 15).

Is there any reason people keep mentioning Rypien other than that his uncle played for us? I'm no scout, but I don't really feel he's an NFL player.

It's pretty much that, he's a solid college QB that played in a weak conference. Not saying he can't play in the NFL, he graded out well this season, was top 20 IN Yards per target , top 10 graded against the Blitz.

I think he's a 4th rd guy.

The good thing is if you draft a player like him if he doesn't workout as a starter he can still be a young cheap backup. Especially with Colt and Keenum being FAs after this year. I'm probably biased by nostalgia, but I think he can definitely at least be a serviceable backup.

Well you probably haven't seen Boise play the last 4 years. He's a legit prospect and really don't know why he's not being mentioned up there with some of the other guys. He's got tremendous accuracy, he has gotten under center, runs a lot of pro concepts in their passing game, has plenty of arm, quick release. He's every bit as good as Rosen was coming out last year if not better. I hope we draft him. He'd be a perfect fit for Gruden's offense.

60% of the time that strategy works every time.

2017 was a career year for Keenum, he was on a loaded offense. Highly doubtful he ever matches that type of production. Last year was more reflective of the type of QB he is.

This...

IMO he and Colt are basically the same guy. I give the edge to Keenum simply because he is durable.

To be fair, Denver Broncos win-loss record under head coach Vance Joseph and GM John Elway:
2017 5-11 last place in AFC west
2018. 6-10 3rd place in AFC west (with Case Keenum)

No way you can blame Case Keenum. Plus now Elway signed Flaco. They are a team in decline regardless of QB.

The almost same talent loaded Vikings team that Case came one game away from one game away from Super Bowl failed last year with Cousins.
I think there is too much emphasis on QB when judging a teams season.
Even the top QB’s Aaron Rogers and Drew Brees fail when the team around them are bad.
Just like Rosen hopefuls defend his lack of accomplishments by saying he was on bad Cardinal and to lesser extent UCLA team.

From JpFinlay "the Redskins are not done at QB, they will add another before may (draft). Rosen still very much in play "

I like this strategy

You guys are going to be surprised... Case is a much better Qb than you think.. go watch his poise in games on the line in 2017 when he went 1 game from Super Bowl! We need some wr’s .. if we get some receiver help the O could be okay!
