This was a hot class and Cleveland/New York/Arizona/Buffalo NEEDED a QB desperately. Broncos might NEED a QB next year and if they do they will be positioned ahead of us. As will the New York Giants.
Aside from that.
Pittsburgh-not going first round with Ben still there.
Cleveland- not going first round again
Baltimore- not going first round
Cincinatti- depends on Dalton
Jets- not with Darnold there
Buffalo- not with Allen there.
Miami- possibly depending on how Tannehill and the team do.
Chargers-doubtful unless Rivers craps the bed
Kansas City- can't with the situation.
Denver- very possible
Raiders- not with Carr
Indianapolis- not with Luck
Tennessee- not with Mariota
Houston- not with Watson
Jacksonville- only if the team severely underperforms
Packers- lol
Bears- maybe
Vikings- no way
Detroit- Stafford will prevent this.
Seahawks- they have Wilson
Niners- they have Jimmy G
Arizona- they can't after Rosen
Rams- Goff
Eagles- Wentz
Cowboys- Dak
Giants- big possibility
Redskins- they will roll with Smith
Carolina- not with Cam
Tampa Bay- I think they will role with Winston
New Orleans- committed to Brees right now
Falcons- not with Ryan
So you are looking at a situation where Denver if Keenum doesn't pan out, Cincinatti if Dalton has a bad year, Miami depending on how they do, Chicago almost definitely, and NYG most likely.
That's 5 teams you will likely contend with for a top round QB next year. If those teams pick in the top 15 I think they will almost definitely take a QB. If they make the playoffs I think they won't.
I think you do need to spend a first rounder to gaurantee quality. However I think there will be less urgency than this year.
This is predicated on the thought that there will be no new teams who are looking for QBs, which seems to be a stretch in my opinion.To get someone good we need it to be a draft where QB doesn't have 5 or more desperate teams. Basically.

When will they pick the future guy and how likely is it they get one without having the mortgage everything? It's looking more likely after last draft. When a team drafts a guy in round 1 the general rule is generally for at least the next 2 drafts they don't try again after investing so much. Even longer if they sit him for a year.
CLV, NYJ, BUF AZ and BLT got their guys in round 1 so they are out the QB business for the next 2 years.
Counting trades and other QBs who will be getting their shot with teams or who have established themselves the teams who I believe are solid or stay with what they got at the spot the next 2 drafts are...
AFCE - NYJ, Buf
AFCN - Balt, Clv, Cin? Pit? (Pit may believe Mason is worth developing & I think Cinci likes Dalton)
AFCS - Ind, Ten, Hou Jax? (Lots of talk about Bortles but maybe they think he is worth keeping)
AFCW - KC, Oak
NFCE - Phi, Dal, Wash? (Maybe they are okay with Smith for a while)
NFCN - Min, Det, GB (Chicigo invested high in Trubisky but i think he's out in the next 2 years)
NFCS - Car, Atl, TB
NFCW - LAR SF AZ SEA
Pats, Mia, Cin? Pit?, Jax?, LAC, Den, NYG, Wash?, Chi., NO. So 7-10 teams will be looking in the next 2 years. Alot depends how teams feel about guys like Bortles, Smith, Rudolph and Tannehill as well how the Chargers sense of urgency when it comes to Rivers. If he plays to play to 40 they have 4 years to make a move. If not it's much sooner. Also with AZ I imagine they will look to trade Bradford to a QB needy team after this year. Maybe that takes 1 more off the list for a while.
All in all it be reasonable to assume only 8 teams will be looking for QB in the draft next 2 seasons.
Of those potential QB needy teams a few of them besides the Pats shouldn't be picking in the top 10 (Pit, NO, Jax, LAC). This makes trading up if they choose a lot less expensive and other teams may not feel the pressure to draft their guy in round 1 if they are okay with their situation that year and feel they are can a more developmental prospect.
While predicting the future is hard particularly in football the Patriots will probably in the next 2 drafts find themselves in a situation where higher rated QB prospects are falling late into round 1 and into round 2.
Overall I am hopeful a target we may want falls in our range over the next 2 drafts.
Drew Lock baby
I have a feeling Cincy is our biggest obstacle to get him.
Stockpiling OL talent a step toward post-Brady? Take the pressure off a young QB by having a dominant OL seems like a good plan.
Nick foles should also be a FA after the season.
In fact, the JETE cannot be explained using the standard logic of evolution.
SB MVP is still a back up. What's a poor slob gotta do to win a starting position these days? A third of the league is probably starting rookies...
I just wanted to add the Jets will be releasing one or more QB's sometime before the start of the regular season. And since the Pats usually pick up players within the division. What do you think about the following quarterbacks.
Christian Hackenberg
Bryce Petty
Teddy Bridgewater
I recently read an article in Nature noting that certain species of pond scum haven't evolved in over a million years.
Yes, but that is because they are successful in their niche.
Leaving the JETE still unexplained.
