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.
