Time to get Baker

[seabowl]

Having passed on qb’s would it surprise anyone if Hawks now trade for Baker?

 

[QWERTY]

It all depends on what the Browns are willing to give draft picks for Baker.

 

[Mistashoesta]

No. There are no qb needy teams in front of Seattle till they pick next. Willis or Ridder should be available.

When has there ever been a great qb picked in the 3rd round? C’mon

 

[Own The West]

Why would we want to spend resources to for another QB project? If Lock doesn't work out this year, Mayfield will be a free agent next year and you can kick the tires on him then for free.

Or you could forget about him altogether and focus on getting a better prospect in the 2023 draft...

Whatever team gets Baker can franchise him if he has a bounce back year. Also much more of an unknown with drafting a rookie

A 4th and Dallas for Baker. Outside of something like that, they will be forced to cut him at some point. No way will he just sit on the bench quietly and not be a distraction.

I hope you knew I was kidding

To answer your question; yes, I would be surprised if they took him on. They like Lock enough, and as mentioned we don't really have the need to take on Mayfield's contract right now.

I'm fine if they don't draft a qb. I'd much rather they shore up both lines and DB positions. If they do draft one I'd be ok with it too. Was just answering the OP's question whether anyone would be surprised if they traded now for baker. Yes, I would be surprised. They should use that pick on drafting someone and if they do want a qb draft one with a smaller salary then taking on mayfields.

I thought so. Hard to tell around here these days.

Likely would only have to pay small amount of his contact and draft capital. Worth the risk IMO

With Baker we can actually win games(6 wins) which is what we dont want to do on a first year re-build. I rather just bank on Geno Smith/Lock, they will get us around 4 wins or less this year.

With a decent qb this O has a lot of talent to move the chains. I think you would be surprised on what the team can do wit a guy like Baker.

I'd trade for Baker and draft Willis, Ridder or Correll nothing worng with a little competition. Your gonna get a comp pick for Baker next year anyway.

 

[GemCity]

No thanks on Baker. What’s wrong with you people? Lol.

No QB in this years draft. We asked for Lock. We got Lock. We’ve got Geno. Studs? Nope. What a lot of fans and FO asked for? Yep.

Let’s see how it works out since “Pete’s offense just needs a game manager”.

We’ve got some excellent building blocks to work with. But we’re not going to comPete this year. Why reach?

I’d love to take a QB in next years draft while snagging a CB and DT here in the next two days.

If you can grab a Howell (I wouldn’t) or Ridder (maybe) past that, take a shot.

 

[Cyrus12]

Absolutely...not....

4 qbs under contract?? All will give mediocre results...

Geno would obviously be the odd man out. Let the other 3 duke it out.
