Hm, maybe. But as a bridge or no? No way they'd move the #2 overall for him, but maybe next year's 1st. I can see a situation where they trade out of #2 for a bounty and then take Jimmy.
I suppose I could also see them taking Jimmy in a move that lets SF bounce up 1 spot. SF sends Garoppolo, NYJ goes down 1 slot and takes someone like Lance?
I'm going to base this solely on media perception, because we don't have actual team perceptions. And I'll toss out a question rather than a direct answer, because I think it'll cover more possible scenarios:
"100% certain day one starters" - Lawrence/Jones
"Possible day one, certain year one starters" - Wilson
"Possible day one, likely year one starters" - Fields
"Likely to need a lot of work/seasoning, less likely to be starting year one" - Lance
So, if you're a team taking Lance, aren't you likely looking for a guy who'll be a legit starter for at least one, and maybe 1+ seasons? And, if you're a team taking Wilson or Fields, aren't you looking for a serviceable starter who'll handle a transition in year one, should it come?
Also, tangentially, is there even a 1% chance that Bridgewater's not thinking long and hard about his decision to run for Carolina's money instead of sticking around to take over for Brees?
