I feel that Poles very much values draft capital and obviously impact players. However, for a draft that has great WR talent, I can very much easily see him passing on MHJ with the 1st pick. In my opinion, I feel that he would either trade the pick for premiums picks or get his own choice of QB. I just don’t see a path for MHJ at pick 1. I understand he is a generational talent, but with our uncertainty at QB (7 games will determine Field’s future) and the possibility of a massive haul, I just don’t see MHJ as the pick. It will either be QB or a trade down if we get the 1st pick. I also think he’ll for sure be gone at pick 5 as well.
Just looking at how things currently are, We’re likely taking Williams at 1. If the Giants have 2, they’re likely taking Maye or whatever QB they prefer. The Cards will either take MHJ or the best O-line available. The Pats are taking a QB. So if we’re at 5, we take either MHJ or best O-line available, whatever the Cards didn’t take. If we want to guarantee MHJ, we gotta start losing.
