Hypothetical..If Shedeur Sanders falls to 18th pick...

[Aircrew]

Nope

Ditto. He's a bust, and I can't believe more people don't see it.

 

[toffee]

John Schneider will take him, no doubt about it.

 

[Chukarhawk]

I don't know man that dude made offense with little talent around him. Thats a trait you look for. The drama is the big question. If shit goes south, do you want his idiot dad shooting his mouth off every week in the media? If you took Dion out of it I'd be inclined to say yes. He's clearly talented.

 

[sutz]

I think I'd be inclined to trade back for a couple of Day 2 picks to use on OL/DL.

 

[Rat]

His dad should not play into this in any way whatsoever. If Shadeur plays well, Deion will be a minor nuisance at most. We might have to deal with some media criticism about our ownership abandoning their principles when Deion is inevitably the flag raiser some week. Sucks, but I'll still be happy with the good quarterback. If Shadeur plays poorly, we have bigger issues than Deion.

Not that any of this is going to matter anyway. Again, Darnold's contract ropes us into him for the next two seasons, so drafting a first-round QB would be difficult to justify to the fans when you're claiming to want to win now, and Shadeur is very, very unlikely to fall that far, and if he does, then the league probably just doesn't hold a high view of him and Schneider probably isn't any different. If Schneider does see Shadeur as a franchise QB, I imagine he'd be trying to move up as he falls further. If he's still there at #18, he's probably not being seriously considered, and if the league lets him fall that far, we're not going to get a bounty in a trade-down.

 

[AnimeAmore]

You almost have to do it, but the Hawks seem to disqualify more prospects than most teams do. The Hawks may have declared him undraftable, and if that's the case it wouldn't even matter if he fell to them. They would probably just trade the pick.

 

[therealjohncarlson]

This question is a catch 22.

If he falls to 18 it means something from now until the draft went terribly wrong for him, in which case we would most likely not want him.

So I am saying no.

 

[Seahawker]

If I'm choosing between Shedeur & Dart I am choosing Jaxson regardless of perceived draft position. More to it, but my shortened explanation is JD has a bigger & more accurate arm and higher upside. Also Dart is much more of a dual threat than Sanders. The Deion interference factor is a minor consideration compared to both QB's talent evaluations. I will be surprised if SS falls out of the top 10, but won't be surprised to see Dart go before #18.
Just two more shiny objects to potentially distract John from drafting OL.

Exactly.

It would mean that 17 teams (basically; I don't know if there are teams that have more than one early 1st rounder) passed on him which would be a red flag.

 

[Appyhawk]

I don't believe Sanders or Dart will still be on the board at 18, but if both were still there Sanders would be available at 19. If Dart was gone and Sanders there at 18 I would choose the best available WR for Darnold to exploit, OR I would take Booker.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Dart is a day 2 talent. A team that takes him in the 1st round is in for disappointment.

I'm confident he would be just as talented in round 1 as he would be in any other round. Difference is what round he gets chosen. I don't think he lasts beyond the first round.
A QB who gets taken very early in the draft has as much, or more, chance of failure as one who gets chosen later in the draft. Usually teams that draft earliest are the lower ranked teams. Lower ranked teams are lower ranked for a reason, while those who pick later probably have better team structure enabling a young QB to develop and have the protection needed to succeed.

QBs drafted early only have a larger chance of "failure" because those players actually have expectations. Those drafted later either become the guy (rare) or become what they were expected: either backups or wash out of the league. A very disproportionate amount of the hits are drafted early.

 

[Natethegreat]

I remember Aaron Rodgers falling to 22 I think it was? That was because he was terrible for sure. If that many teams passed on him there had to be a reason.
No way that pick could ever work out.
I'm not saying we should take Shedeur but I find the argument that if he falls there that means he isn't any good rather silly.
If JS thinks he is a worthy pick there he most certainly will take him.

Dan Marino fell to #27 because of false rumors that he was using drugs, that likely cost him a SB ring.
This is not a great QB class and we really don't know what we have in either of the Sam's yet.
Unless they identify a guy they really like, I'd rather they take a QB on day 3 to compete in camp. Who knows where that could go but hopefully at least a practice squad guy.
Our QB situation will never improve unless we invest in guys for our coaches to work with, promote competition and fix the OL. If they could ever find the talent, I'd be for carrying 3 on the roster.

Just Travis Hunter and two other WRs that will be drafted, Horn and Wester

 

[HOF Hater]

Without question you take him

 

[Seahawker]

Without question you take him

Booker?

 

[hawker84]

Pass.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Sanders? Without question? Um, plenty of questions.
