For Sam Darnold moving on from Adam Gase and to Joe Brady could be a life changing career move for him.

Tannehill with Gase = 59
Tannehill with Titans = 92.
 
And as desperate as Denver is Pats have more firepower to move up than Denver.
I think Miami, Detroit and Atlanta could take Qbs. Still, having Carolina out if the way is good.

fixed that for you
 
Carolina is saying they will still draft a Qb with it's pick.

Maybe, or just posturing so other teams don't think they will trade out of that spot easy? plus why not sit there and wait on draft day and see who falls to them?
I suspect if any of the teams we are talking about try to trade up, it will be on draft day once they know how is still there. could be very entertaining draft

I can see how Detroit & Atlanta might be in the qb market but not sure Miami moves off Tua after one season. I can't stress enough that I am not a Tua fan by any stretch but he was a rookie in a rather weird season, no ota's, camp, etc, & don't forget he was coming off a significant hip injury that sidelined him for most of his last college season. I'd at least give him one more season of normalcy to see what they got.
 
ATL and Lions won't. They would be foolish if they did...Miami too. Denver and Philly, I can see them do it.
If Philly were smart they would try & trade for more picks & see what they have in Hurts. They need a lot of help. As we know however, Philly isn't all that smart of an organization.
 
Why not trade with Carolina? I'm sure they'd like to recoup some of those picks they used on Darnold.

In what Chevvs posted, Brad Kelly states the Patriots only competition for moving up to #4 is Denver. But there are teams behind the Patriots that are QB needy and they might leapfrog the Patriots and the Broncos - the WFT is an obvious one. And would the Bears move up with the thought of letting a rookie sit for a year behind Dalton? It could happen.

And I'm not sure that all the teams in front of the Patriots besides Denver are satisified with their QB situation. The Giants can't be all that happy with what Daniel Jones has done in two years - 22 INTs and 29 fumbles in 26 starts is just about two turnovers per game. The Gmen could easily get enamored with one of the top five QBs and decide to move on from Mr. Jones.

I don't think the final order of first round draft picks is what's currently in place - my guess is there are a couple of more trades to be made before the first round is over.

I agree.

The Lions are paying & committed to Goff now & they have to surround him to see if he can perform well enough.

Atlanta/Matt Ryan were a top 6 passing offense last year and also ranked 6th in % of drives ending with a score. Ryan isn't the problem in Atlanta. Defense is their problem.
Ryan is currently a Falcon through 2023. He's making $27M this year with a $65M dead cap.
For 2022 Ryan's cap hit is $48M and his dead cap hit is $40.5M. I see a restructured contract for Ryan bc of those massive cap numbers for next year.
If they go QB Ryan knows he's done in Atlanta and his dedication to the team goes straight to hell for 2021.

Atlanta's needs: CB, LB, edge rusher, DT and OT.
I can see why Atlanta might want to trade down a few picks to get their guy & gain another 2nd rnd pick.
At 4 they could get Penei Sewell, Kwity Paye, Kyle Pitts, Patrick Surtain/Horn or a QB. They need defense badly.
With a trade back with Denver to 9, Atlanta can pick up 2 players - 1 great player at 9 (CB) plus another very good player in the 2nd.

Denver takes the 4th QB off the board in that scenario.
But if GM Paton determines the Broncos' massive injuries caused their poor record last year, he may address other needs: CB, OT, S, LB, DL.
CB is their biggest need. Paton could trade for the Panthers' QB Teddy Bridgewater who could start right away for Denver & address CB in this draft at 9.
Denver is a question mark as to how they fill their QB conundrum; Lock isn't their long term answer.

If Philly drafts a QB, the Pats could be left out entirely.

This is going to be an entertaining first round.

This is a tough call. Do we really want to give up what it will take to get to #4? As I have said before, if there is a guy that Bill loves like the way he loved Jimmy than fire the bullets and go up and get him. I think it is more realistic that we may trade up to 10 or 9 if a QB falls then all the way to 4.
