If we think that what is there at 3 is a potential top QB, then we should pick him, period.
================
WHAT IF WE THINK THAT THERE ARE 2 TOP QB's, BOTH GONE
Now, it is time to focus on finding a starting QB with a relatively high floor. We can hope, but we really are looking for a starter.
1) Trade down with MIN for their 11 (or 8), their 23, next year's first. If their first pick is 8, we won't get more. If it is 11, another pick is possible there.
2) Call AZ and LAC on the phone and trade the new 2024 firsts for their pick and choose QB #4. He may not be a TOP quarterback, but he is likely to be a starter. As long as both #4 and #5 QB's are there, I suppose we could wait before trying to trade. I don't like that because I think that the Giants might very well draft a QB if one they like falls to them.
BOTTOM LINE
We end up with a top 4 QB and a #1 in 2025.
I suppose the worst case is if someone can make a better offer for the pick. I don't think that this is likely. Even if it happens, we could up our offer to include a 2025 2nd or 3rd and still be ahead of the game. Alternatively, we can just wait and draft Penix at 8 or 11, possibly even having to trade up to get him.
I don't believe that all FOUR are potential top 10 QB's. I trust our QB whisperers to make a reasonable call.
