So if the Seahawks got Mayfield as a 1 year rental at $18.86M but his 2022 cap hit was $4.46M and the Seahawks accounted for the remaining $14.4M in 2023 you'd be ok with that?
Mariota can be cut next off season for 2.5 million so lets not be disingenuous here.

LOL @ McVay dreaming of drafting Cole at the end of the 3rd round, wonder how many more times we see his jaw drop like that during the draft.
Most people had Strange as a late 2nd-3rd round pick, so that’s not out of the realm for McVay to think that.

As was tweeted, if any other team but the Pats had taken him in the 1st, they would be getting roasted right now.

But it’s BB and the Pats, so they get a pass

The Patriots getting passes for their draft picks is a bit odd, since Bill's draft history is a bit shaky. Some great picks for sure, but some real head-scratchers too. Strange is a solid prospect, so at least he should be a solid player, if not a perceived draft value.

To be clear: I don't care where Mayfield ends up, nor do I care who plays QB for the Seahawks. Mayfield isn't a top 12 QB, and he might not be a top 20 QB. He certainly isn't worth $18.86M to any NFL team as of right now. It's perfectly legitimate to compare Mayfield's value to Mariota, Bridgewater, Minshew, and other non top 20 QBs, but it's only of interest if the values are accurate. Use artificially low numbers and it becomes a GIGO discussion.

I'd prefer to see Mayfield in a starting role somewhere. I want to see the best players and prospects playing and Mayfield is better than anyone the Panthers or Seahawks have.

Foles is a FA? It's obvious that he should sign in Washington to backup Wentz. ....Championship...
Fragile Wentz is probably crying in his cereal over Howell being drafted. If the bring in Foles Wentz will buy a diving belt and jump into the Potomac.

In hindsight I wish the Commodes drafted CARSON Strong.

I know I wanted Dallas to take a flyer on Strong but TWO Fragile CARSONs on one team would be comedy gold.

As it turns out the Eagles didn’t learn their lesson from QBs named Carson

The Eagles drafting does kinda look like a dude who is too drunk trying to pick up chicks.
