Here's the thing. History tells us one IMMUTABLE fact. That at a minimum one of these top 3 QB's will fail to meet expectations. We all know this to be true, and at best you hope YOUR pick isn't that guy. It is just the way it is and has ALWAYS been. Not to mention that in some years it's more than one.
That is why bringing in a vet is so important. And to that end, I believe Russell Wilson would be the best option. He played his best football during the last half of the season, before his contract got him benched. He'd be experienced and solid at the position. But most importantly (if I understand it correctly), he'll only cost the vet minimum against the cap, or roughly $1-1.5MM for next year, with the rest of his $40MM coming from Denver. So regardless of whether you get one of the top 3 or trade down to one of the 2nd tier QB's, you are in a position where you DON'T have to throw the rookie into the fire right away.
I think one of the things people don't understand is just how much more complex the defenses are in the NFL AND how much better the talent is. Add that to the increased complexity of the NFL offense, it is not hard to see ANY rookie QB struggle with their decision-making process and lose their confidence. Just look at Mac. He went from the best rookie year of ANY of the top 5 QB's that year, to a shadow of that person we saw in 2021.
The cost of getting Fields, even if you think he can get to be a franchise QB, will he VERY high. And a lot of the evidence seems to be that his ceiling isn't that high. More Dobbs than Jackson. So from Flacco to JG, to Tannehill, to Wilson, etc, there are a good number of "bridge" guys out their this FA season. And regardless of which strategy you deem necessary to fill your long term QB needs, having the ability to let your young QB sit for a year or two will ALWAYS be a good plan.
