He is not going to sign a contract that we get easy out of after 2 years, that was my point, more than the per year.

I’m reading more and more that we like Levis. Smokescreen or is it possible that the scouting department knows more than Dam?

Is that possible?

No, you take the Rodgers track at that point. Have Lamar for 4 years, cut him year 5, you learn if Richardson is your QBOTF on the fifth year option.

I hope it's a smokescreen, I would honestly think Ballard & Co. would get Wentz flashbacks watching Levis's tape. Given the timing of it it makes sense for it to be a smokescreen.

Every NFL scouting department has a greater knowledge base on every draft class than any person that isn't in an NFL scouting department, a fact I've pointed out on several occasions. No one else gets to interview them or look at their medical records.

I don’t think it’s a smoke screen and while I disagree with the Wentz comparison before the injury he was playing MVP ball and was the 2nd pick in the draft. No need to hide anything at this point Levis seems to be the 4th choice for most teams if a team trades up they’d probably be gambling on Richardson

I would fucking hope we wouldn't do that with the 4th pick, you take Lamarr you are building around him, too big an investment to be a long bridge, that is insane.

They play a similar style, whether you take Lamar or Richardson you're committing to building the same style of offense, so why not take both?

Because it would be stupid when that pick could be a stud player that helps the team win the next 4 years, rather than a QB with a high bust potential.

Well they're not trading to 1, at least they've made no indication of doing so as of yet, so they've already committed to a QB with high bust potential unless they go with Anderson or Carter. But doing that without Lamar is a huge risk.
