National Football Post 1st round mock (with trades)

I'd rather have the best QB in football and the worst supporting cast than the other way around...and we're getting close to being the other way around.

Preaching to the choir.

But this draft is a QB graveyard, it truly is. There are going to be guys going in the first round this year that would be 3rd or even 4th rounders a lot of years. Next year there are likely to be 5+ guys that are going to be better options than all but the top 2 in this year's draft. Beyond the obvious in Barkley (asshole), there's Jones and Manuel, not to mention underclassmen like Wilson and Bray that could come out, maybe even Murray. And there's always an off-the-radar guy that emerges and rises like a rocket.

All of those guys are likely to be better prospects than anyone we would consider that high, except for maybe Tannehill.

And I'm also pro-Tannehill, I wouldn't be at all upset if we took a HR swing on him. He could be our guy.

But then again, 'our guy' could possibly be even better next season and at a less significant opportunity cost (i.e. not giving up a potentially elite multi-purpose back like Richardson to get him).

But apart from using that pick on a QB, I really see no other great option for us to use it on.
