Baltimore should do that trade straight up. They get promising young QB still on his rookie deal and get something for a soon-to-be -overpaid injury prone running QB likely past his prime. If they can get Chicago to throw in pics then bonus, but I like ravens in that swapRumblings of Atlanta having serious interest in Lamar Jackson.
I am surprised to have not at least heard the press discuss any potential swap for Lamar Jackson and Justin Fields. Chicago has more money than God. Fields slides into a Baltimore offense that could be a well-suited for him. At the very least, I am surprised ESPN hasn't at least spent 30 minutes discussing the "what ifs" on such a trade.
Obviously this is moot if Baltimore has no interest in Fields but it defers paying diva QB money for at least 2 seasons (at which point they'd have to make a decision on whether or not to pick up Fields' 5th year option).
Perhaps it could even be done without a swap of the 1st overall pick. For example, teams like Indy, Vegas, Atlanta or Carolina might be willing to move up. Whatever draft capital is acquired in a swap for the 1st pick can be redistributed in some form in a Jackson for Fields swap. Chicago gets a proven MVP + additional picks, Baltimore gets Fields + a top 10 pick + don't have to shell out diva QB contract.
Too bad he's so inconsistent in his decision-making.

I watched him twice this year and on one of those occasions he looked like the best QB in this class. The other, he looked like
a scrub. Still, when a guy has the obvious physical traits that he does somebody is going to make him a mid-1st rounder at very least.
The guy that I wouldn't want to pull the trigger on is Bryce Young. He's probably the best all-around guy I've seen, but what if he's
5'10"? He is always listed as a top 4 guy, but I think he could easily slide due to his frame.
If he slid to us, I wouldn't want any part of him.
Every top guy has question marks, but the current wisdom is for 5 to go in the 1st. I suppose that is good for us.
This is very good & the only thing I would disagree about is his arm strength. I think below average is a bit harsh. I think he has a slightly above average arm. Not a cannon by any means but he doesn’t seem to have a problem pushing the ball down the field or throwing deep outs.5'10" would send shockwaves through interested folks around the league. Kyler Murray = 5'10", 207.
My guess: 5'11", 188-190. 1" taller but 17 lbs lighter than Murray.
(He's listed at 6', 194 in Bama's football guide. and smaller is more likely bc that's what colleges do.)
Bryce Young has been a great college QB but for an NFL QB prospect getting #1 hype he's doesn't check enough boxes for me.
He's poised, he processes quickly, he throws with anticipation, he's good in the pocket and throws off-platform pretty well. In those respects, he compares well to other smaller QBs like Brees, Russell Wilson, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray as NFL prospects. That's the good news. The bad news for Young is he doesn't have the arm strength or quick release that Mayfield, Wilson and Murray had coming out of college and he doesn't have the incredible accuracy Brees had. All 4 QBs came in weighing over 200 lbs, including Murray.
Red flags for Young other than size are below average arm strength with average accuracy on throws around the field. He doesn't have Murray's claim to fame, quickness or top speed. So here I've compared him to 2 successful small QBs and 2 average small QBs. Young doesn't have the arm strength of Mayfield, Wilson or Murray and he doesn't have the special accuracy of Brees or the explosive running ability of Murray. That doesn't sound like a top 5 pick to me.

Al in all though I don’t think this is deep qb draft & they all have more bust potential than boom. And I know it’s a lot easier to say this guy is going to be a bust or that guy is going to be a bust because very few live up to the hype or whatever.
Next year there are two really good qb’s coming out in Caleb Williams & Drake Maye. I’m sure there will some tanking going on for those two.
Zay Flowers has moved from +2300 to +750 on FanDuel to be the first WR taken. Moving up quickly and to think he was my sleeper for the Pats 6 weeks ago.
Honestly he could have an arm like John Elway & I still wouldn’t take him. His size, height & weight, is enough to scare me off.I'll give you average but I can't go above that.
I don't know how any rational person could look at the team last year and say WR is the #1 priority.
I don't think he's right about Van Ness. Van Ness is not very experienced, dominated in college with physical strength rather than technique, doesn't have elite speed or burst, hasn't shown coachability in consistently playing tall and getting wiped out by cut blocks. "Hercules" has succeeded by being a bully, not a professional.Karen Guregian asked Daniel Jeremiah
"Who are 5 draft prospects that look like Patriot-type players?"
He answered Peter Skoronski, Devon Witherspoon, Keion White, Van Ness, and Cody Mauch.
I think he's right about these 5 players. I think DJ has come to learn what the Pats and Belichick are all about. The first 4 were pretty well known and Mauch became known at the Senior Bowl if he wasn't known before that. Mauch reminds me of Logan Mankins in many ways. He's got that streak going through him.
