The quarterback conversation has picked up steam with the report that Miami is interested in Justin Herbert. Throughout this process, I'm guessing we'll hear that the Dolphins are interested in a number of different draft available quarterbacks.

If the team determines Herbert is their guy, that might not even matter if Oakland decides to go quarterback over Nick Bosa. That's assuming Oakland ends up with the top pick. The New York Giants would be an obvious fit for Herbert as well. SF could be a team to potentially deal with near the top of the draft.

The whole quarterback situation got me thinking. Moving up in the draft, as we've seen teams do over and over again for a quarterback, can be costly. If the quarterback works out, though, no one ever complaints about the price the team paid. A miss is a huge cost, though, and can set the organization back for years. The man at the top for Miami once traded up for Mark Sanchez, who has proven to be a valuable backup quarterback in the league, but certainly not top 5 draft worthy.

Would you instead trade high draft picks for an established quarterback, knowing pretty much what you are getting? Miami has had virtually no success with this approach when trying to determine quarterbacks on the rise (Feeley).

What would you give up for a Matt Stafford? Three #1 picks? I'm not suggesting that Detroit would move Stafford, just wondering what that might take? It's worth discussing since the team would likely give up at least two #1's to move up for someone like Herbert.
 
Three firsts for Matthew ****ing Stafford? Go home OP, you’re drunk. Beyond drunk, actually. I sorry you might have drank so much your brain has started swellings.

3 firsts for Stafford. Sweet baby Jesus.
 
I’d give up a 1st for Stafford. That be a steal. Didn’t the Vikings trade a 1st for Sam Bradford? Plus our FO can’t draft 1st round picks anyways so why not? I’d take Stafford over Dion Jordan/Davante Parker/Ja’Wuan James/Charles Harris.

This board sometimes act like giving our first round pick is like giving out gold...but in reality the FO just sucks at player evaluation.

That's kind of my thought process. Not sure I trust our front office on a first round quarterback and dealing up would require at least two #1's and probably other picks. Stafford is easily in the top 10 of current quarterbacks.

Where would you, honestly, rank Stafford among the current quarterbacks in the NFL? Would you agree he is somewhere in the top 10?

Rankings don’t mean anything when assessing the value of a player in a trade. It’s all about age, contract, and future performance. The guy is 30, has a huge contract, and has been a middle-of-the-road QB his entire career. You would be willing to give 3 first rounder for a QB on the wrong side of 30 and has a contract way out of line with his performance in his career? He’s never been an All-Pro and only has had one Probowl invite. And most importantly, he is 0-3 in the playoffs.

That’s the guy you’re sending 3 first rounders for?
