As far as the Chargers at 5 are concerned, if there is no QB4 that teams are in love with then they might not have a trade down partner. WR seems really easy to mock at the Chargers but WR is a deep enough spot that they might think they can grab one in rd2. The problem with the Chargers is that I think they tried to draft Mike Williams' replacement last year in Q Johnson and he stinks. Mike Williams, imo, is the most likely overpay I'd make of all of the older expensive Chargers players since Bosa is hurt every year and Allen is older. I feel that WR, Edge, and CB being major needs on the Chargers kinda limits their ability to improvise all that much imo. In theory, the Chargers could overpay Keenan Allen to bring him back one more year, have Bowers as their #2 and have Q Johnson as their #3 option on offense. I personally dont like that. If I'm the Chargers, I really want a pass rusher tbh. I'm just not sure one is there.
I think we need a pass rusher more than a 2nd CB. You can have the most talented secondary but if a quarterback has all day to throw, someone’s gonna get open.
While he could be traded to get to one of the top qb's, his cost won't materialize until after Wilson's dead cap money is off the books. Assuming he's released or traded.
What about 25 or 26 QB class? I expect Broncos to play it safe like last 8 yrs. If Qb was set PS2 wouldn't even be discussed. With SP he isn't patient hard to believe we'd actually trade him.

I kinda agree about Fields. I would hope he wouldn’t cost a first thoughI will preface this by saying that if there is one thing all those who follow the draft have in common - fans, media analysts, scouts, GMs, etc - is that nobody really knows for certain, and there is no such thing as a sure thing ..
I have a ton of respect for everyone here, and by no means do I every want to put anyone off with my viewpoints ... This is the worst time of year for me and the NFL, with the hysteria of some other team still basking in the Super Bowl glow and no real news coming for weeks .... We take every little NFL nugget of interest like it is a filet mignon and asparagus dinner ( or tofu and gluten free penne for those inclined )
The upcoming draft always creates excitement and fires up the passion for the Broncos as April approaches, but there is always dread that looms for the blunders and bad decisions you feel the team might make .. They might not be accurate views, but they are our own views ..
Oh good Lord, please do not let the Broncos trade away picks and/or players to move up for Caleb Williams
I think Justin Fields is just about to hit his stride, and probably would have had Sean Payton been the guy who drafted him ... If Fields is to be dealt, I would hope the Broncos would have their ears perked ..
ANYWAYS, I happen to agree with Merrill here on Williams
“He is not something unique like a Patrick Mahomes,” Hoge said. “And I hope the Bears don’t think, ‘Well, let’s try to make up for our mistake when we passed up Patrick Mahomes and go get the Patrick Mahomes.’ This kid is not Patrick Mahomes. He ain’t even remotely close to that.”
Merril Hoge delivers stern Caleb Williams warning as Bears dig in on keeping No. 1 draft pick
It appears that the Bears plan to keep the No. 1 pick, but at least one of the franchise’s former players wants them to avoid taking Caleb Williams.
I will take a rare exception to your clear-eyed analysis - there is plenty of money for the Broncos to pay another $40 million or more for a QB on top of Wilson and other needs. This is because the current contracts are in great shape - other than Wilson - the Broncos have a shjt pile of money they could move around - the question is how much of the future are the Broncos willing to push down the road?
