If Dak did leave, which is very unlikely, would it be worth it to draft either Zach Wilson or Trey Lance at No. 10?
I don't know much about them, but just because they aren't No. 1 or No. 2 picks doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't be worth considering in that scenario. I mean, Mahomes was drafted at No. 10 and Ben Roethlisberger was taken at 11.
I mean sure, I'd absolutely take Wilson at 10, and so would two dozen other teams, and thus he won't be available at 10.
In that no-Dak scenario you could argue that every team in the top 16 besides JAX, CIN, LAC, and ARI would pick Wilson if available. JAX should just take Lawrence and the other 3 have young QBs already.
Lance might actually last to pick 10 but I doubt it. If he did, and if Dak were gone, he'd be tempting.
It's a hot take maybe but I'd really consider taking Wilson at 10 even if Dak were still here, tbh. If no one will trade picks with me and Wilson is available then I'm taking Wilson. Best case scenario I've got a princess in a castle and someone will suddenly decide a trade doesn't sound so bad. Worst case scenario I groom this kid and maybe move on from Dak earlier than expected. I'd sure hate to do that but Dak is the one that wants a short deal and hasn't signed for 2 years. Sometimes you just gotta take what the fates give you.
If Dak is here but on a tag and Wilson is available at 10 then im definitely taking Wilson. If a deal isn't done by draft day then it isn't getting done and im not being held hostage any longer. Wilson is the pick, Dak is on the trading block. Sorry kid, loved ya, hoped you were the guy, it's just business, go jerk someone else around.
