Nope. Russ has publicly said he has 5+ years so no way to I piss him off by grabbing anything but a late round flyer QB in the draft. If this year doesn't go well then maybe next year.
I would think Russ would be pretty secure in his position on the team. Why not have a strong number two? (Carson pun intended)
.. You said find a sleeper QB not draft one early. Don't think Wilson is going to give 3 poo poo's about drafting a QB on day 3. He isn't that type of a person.Ya, a day 3 QB would be fine. Burning a 2nd on a QB doesn't make sense.Same thought. I don't think Russell is that dramatic. He knows he is our starter. However, I think Mountain might be agreeing with you but doesn't realize it.
The way for this team to have a strong number two is to acquire a vet QB that can run an Offense that is built around Russell Wilson. Using draft capital to get a rookie like that would be a waste as that pick/those picks would be better suited for building the team around Wilson, eliminating weaknesses that would hamper him. This is not the time to screw around. We have a QB now. Make use of him.
If Ridder is sitting there at 64 be hard to pass him up.
I'd say if Ridder is sitting there at 64 it would be an opportunity to trade down with a team still looking for a QB or pluck the next best BPA.
why not pluck BPA? Next best could be relative.
Mainly because you increase the odds of drafting a player who will contribute. So unless Paton is convinced Ridder would be a future starter, it's better to find the BPA's who will build depth in positions that will most help Wilson succeed.
