So, let’s weigh the pros and cons of each:
Top tier guys (only two)
Rodgers;
Pros are… stability, transitional guy, able to elevate the play of others. The team is in the playoff conversation.
Cons are… age, talk of retirement, an abysmal playoff record. The cost to get him here is a wash if you can get him here.
D. Watson; (the ONLY real choice)
Pros are youth, skill level, and ability to elevate the play of others. The team is constantly in playoff conversations and deep-run status.
Cons are… Legal issues, 1 or 22 depends on how you count them. The cost to trade for him is a wash against what you are getting in return.
Next, there are the middle tier guys (Only two)
R. Wilson;
Pros are…. Stability, competence above what we have, and increase in wins to the 8, 9, range 10 if they get very, very, lucky.
Cons… Age, rebuild continues, commitment to the game.
J. Garoppolo;
Pros are… stability, competence above what we have. Wins increase from 5, 6, 7 to 7, 8, 9 range.
Cons are… value on return per investment is not clear, more rebuild on the current team, wasted season(s) on further rebuild. His health.
Then you have the lower tier guys (a few here)
Trubisky, Mariota, and Kyle Allen are all of the same types of players, enough said, since they already have one of this type. It’s a waste of time and resources to get another. This team is already a 5, 6, and 7 if they are lucky, win team with Heinicke, Nothing changes with any of these guys. Even if you got or used Allen as the stopgap, you’re wasting years on the other 52 guys in the continued building and/or prep for a drafted QB.
Finally, about this prospective draft... Repeating myself from a year ago…There’s not one player (QB) in this upcoming draft who grades out into the top half of this draft. (At least two will bust because they are drafted too early and forced to start too soon) There are, however, projects that if drafted much later in round one or early in round two with the idea being to sit them as they learn and grow into NFL-level prospects. Looking at Washington, and its current build pattern, there are two if drafted in the second round and sat for a season or so, would be perfect for Rivera’s team. They are Matt Corral and Malik Willis. For those of you who want a QB at 11, (you’re not going to get Pickett er Josh Rosen) and forget Corral and his injury propensities, take Willis despite the fact that I believe that you can get him in round 2. No matter what you do in this regard, you’re still going to need a QB or waste another season waiting on your draftee.

Wilson is head and shoulders above Jimmy. That middle tier should be Carr and Jimmy. And yes, I think Kyle would rather have Cousins at this point--at least Cousins can stay on the field.
