The fact that Mahomes is touted as a first rounder this year is enough to tell you how weak this class is. In a year like next year we wouldn't have to trade up to get our Mahomes.
The class is simply much better next year with guys like Rosen and Darnold coming out. It's unlikely we will get them, but what we will get is the quality of guys that follow those two- someone like Browning.
Whatever is available to us in 2018 will be much better than an Alex Smith 2.0 like Peterman this year.

I hate this reasoning so much. I really do bc it makes no sense.
1. Jake Browning will not make it out of the top 12. In fact, all these 2018 top QB's will be gone far before we ever pick and the only way to get one of them
Would be to give up 3 first rd picks + more.
2. This bullshit about talented QB's not being available is wrong. It's all wrong.
Here's the last 6 draft classes:
2016-Dak
2015-Semen..was not far off from Alex as a rookie with far less talent
2014-Carr, Teddy
2013-scratch
2012-Wilson
2011-Dalton, Kap
Looking back further, you've got Rodgers and Brees who weren't top 20 picks.
There are talented QB's who have proven they are much better (and cheaper options) than Alex. They are there often.
Stop with the "legit QBOTF hype machine". There won't be one of those unless you are picking in the top 10.
Seriously. Not one of the QB's listed above was in that category when they were drafted.
