JIMMY MARKET
I have figured we'd get a 3rd for Jimmy, but I've seen some talk online about a conditional 2nd based on how well Jimmy and his new team do. He'd be an upgrade for several teams, but the hitch is how much money Jimmy will want in a new deal (it's gonna be higher than you think.
Jimmy's market comes down to which teams are losing QBs and which of those teams will be drafting one in the 1st rd and which won't. Of the first 4 teams in the draft (Jags, Detroit, Houston, Jets) only Houston might go QB, and even without untangling the Watson situation, they might like having the pick of the litter despite Davis Mills playing surprisingly well this year.
At 5 n 7, the NYG show up and that's where things get really interesting. Daniel Jones isn't good enough and the NYG will be cap strapped, so a rookie makes more sense than a veteran for them. At 6, the Panthers HC is desperate, so Jimmy could be an option for them. At 8, I don't see the Falcons ready to move on at QB yet, and considering how strong Denver's defense is, I think they'd rather have vet--where Jimmy would make more sense than a rookie. WFT at 11 could also go QB, but reportedly their HC wants a vet b/c he'll probably get fired before the rookie blossoms.
Then who knows what will happen with playoff teams that lost their QB--Pitt, maybe TB?
Contrary to a lot of the speculation, I don't see any of Rodgers, Wilson, or Carr getting traded.
--gave up the 12th pick last year (it was gonna be a QB anyway)
--gave up #1 in 2022, which will be 28th at best
--gave up 3rd in 2022, again a very late 3rd rounder
--gave up #1 in 2023
Last year's #1 and this year's look like the FO's calculated risk is coming off just like they planned. The real issue will be the 2022 season, and how much Lance struggles in his first year as a starter.

The Trey Lance trade looks ok so far.2022 NFL Draft order: Bills, Titans, Bucs, Packers get their spots
Four more teams were eliminated from the playoffs over the weekend and that means four more spots in the 2022 NFL Draft order have been set.profootballtalk.nbcsports.com
If there's one SMALL consolation, we didn't trade away a high 1st round pick this draft.
Don't think a JG trade will recoup a 1st, not even a 2nd.
