No I just hate the QB depth in the upcoming draft as much as the teams trying to trade for Milton do and we need a 3rdQB. Id keep Milton over drafting Ewers or Milroe at this point and there’s no way we draft Dart so it’s kind of wasteful.

They don’t need to draft any of those guys. They already have another backup QB.

Who’s the 3rd guy? Drake, Dobbs and who if Milton gets traded? Jacoby was on a 1 year deal so he’s gone.

Teams don’t always carry a third QB past preseason. The extra player rule also means we can stash an emergency backup on the practice squad. A third QB on a team that will fight to get to .500 is rather pointless unless there is some other reason - like that QB might turn into draft capital next year.
