To me it’s Mike White or Baker Mayfield. I absolutely love Hendon Hooker, but I don’t see us spending one of our higher draft picks on a QB. However, if Hooker is sitting there at our 2nd 3rd rounder I would be tempted. If we already signed our backup then bye Skyler and Hooker would be #3 for a season.
Backup QB

Sticky Gloves

Don't know enough about any of them, but just someone with a QB build, ability to stay on the field, and a high upside tool.

We need better LB's
in the late rounds I wouldnt mind but Georgia is so well recruited that he could easily be a product of a system built for him to succeed. He wont have that luxury in the NFL

I think teddy and Brissett made $5 million. I don’t think we’ll have the space this year. Neither one of those qbs could even win us one game.

Teddy made $6.5m with incentives that could’ve made it $10m.

Without throwing out any names... I'd like to sign a backup QB who is so cheap that we could easily cut him if Thompson beats him for the spot.
1) I assume that Thompson, like any young player will improve... and honestly, he wasn't bad.
2) If Tua goes down again... we're done. Oh, we might sneak into the playoffs, maybe even win a game, but there won't be a trophy obtained.
3) Two years in a row, we signed guys who have played well elsewhere, who then proceeded to play poorly for us. I think this is the norm, more than the exception.
...and finally, 4) We drafted Thompson with the idea that he could be a long-term, extremely cheap backup. Why abandon that idea now?

Of the names you mentioned I would think Baker Mayfield might be fit in this offense . With our weapons he could win us some games.

- you tell me and we will both know
Now now @AquaHawk, @The Ghost has some good tape
Like Tua he is left handed.........................
Minshew is not an accurate thrower. He doesn’t fit this system. But then again, McD did nothing but throw deep to Hill and Waddle so why not then
I think Cutler was 10 and Teddy in the 7 range. Can't go cheap here, back up over rb
Out the 4 I would choose Dalton, he has pretty good arm.

I see your point, but I feel Skylar will be a better option than anyone we will be able to draft this year.
