Draft hypothetical: we trade up for QB, who do you pick in the 3rd?

[the Talking Can]

I am neither advocating, nor expecting this, just a curiosity.

Say that Mariota fell to where we could get him for our 2nd. That leaves us - realistically - with only our two 3rd round picks to acquire players to help us this year (i'm assuming the rest of our picks are crap shoots, obviously we might strike gold).

Given our multiple needs - OL, WR, ILB - and the fact that neither our 1st or 2nd round picks will produce anything this year...

who do you take in the 3rd with the hope they can contribute now (or at some point this year)?

(i leave it to you to assume who will be available at our picks)

[The Franchise]

WR
OG or CB

These QBs don't interest me at all. They both look like busts to me.

Winston has the talent and on field intangibles on be an elite NFL QB.

In the right situation, his off field issues can be overcome.

I am not a fan of Marriotta, however, in this hypothetical, I would go Tre McBride, Eric Rowe and John Miller (to throw in a bonus pick) as my next 3 picks.

i'm curious to see how appealing/not-appealing it is when you name names to the picks...

Giving Winston millions of dollars and expecting him to lose his immaturity all at the same time doesn't seem that smart to me. If he was available at 18 that might be different but I'm not giving up extra picks to get that guy.

Winston is the only one I'd be remotely interested mariotta seems like Alex smith we all ready have him.


In your scenario. I go first third ILB like Anthony or Dawson maybe Henney from KU

Second third. WR Austin Hill , Mcbride, lockett

[chiefscafan]

If we did this wed still have picks to add to the team Dorsey and Ballard would really need to draft good and margin for error would be even smaller than normal.

[the Talking Can]

yeah, it's just a constraint to see what people could squeeze out of the third round

[chiefscafan]

I agree with milkman bout Winston but I would be working OT interviewing him have a pi watching him etc. chiefs have done none of this.

He'd be well worth the risk.

Using walterfootball.com's latest mock draft.....I'd go with the following for the first 4 rounds.

1. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon
3. Tyler Lockett, WR, Kansas State
3 (C). Josh Shaw, CB, USC
4. Donovan Smith, OT, Penn State

Look what I look for in a QB is three major factors

1. Nfl arm can he make nfl throws

2. Leadership ability. Can he lead a team motivate them when they are down

3. Heart. Stay in the pocket and still complete the throw although he knows he's getting hit


Winston checks off on all categories I worry bout the maturity but who didn't do stupid things in college I want to know he's learned from his mistakes.

[chiefscafan]

I agree pest

Lockett, shaw, smith all good picks

Not sure bout mariotta I kind of want chargers to pull off that deal Phillip scares me more than Marcus
