3 QB's:
1) the free agent
2) the draftee
3) usually a late draft pick, UDFA, minor free agent
THE FREE AGENT OR TRADE
There isn't much there other than Brissette (a fine choice and Mayfield (who will probably resign.
I'm not ready to pay Cousins the $35M he probably wants.
A trade would be costly for anyone of value
THE DRAFTEE
A) any of the top 3 if they are available through pick or trade. We would expect thie player to start late in the season or in 2025.
B) The next level QB should be there between 20 and 45. We could trade down in the first and take one, or trade up with our second, or simply wait until or 2nd, Obviously, this depends on how particular we are. If there are 3 or 4 that we like, then we have great flexibily, then great. If there is one or 2, less flexibiity.
C) We always can take a flyer in the 4th or 5th, as we have done in the past.
=================
WHERE DOES ZAPPE FIT IN?
Could Zappe be the "veteran" expected to start for the beginning of the season and until the draftee can beat him out? Obviously, this would be the plan with a top 3 QB, but certainly seems reasonable with a the second tier. In any case, could Zappe be expected to be our #2, with the idea of looking for a QB again in 2025 if we find the need?
