Then I think you can make that argument and maybe Tom Brady loves Shitter enough to kind of step in and overrule. But I think right now it makes more sense for the Raiders to take like an offensive lineman or a defensive lineman, something to build up the trenches and get this team ready where you can drop a young quarterback in eventually like two years down the line.

I mean, I think, yeah, it would the top three teams need quarterbacks. This is, you know, you traditionally see teams get a little bit desperate for the quarterback position. I think if in a vacuum, you probably wouldn't put Ward and Schroeder as top three picks, you know, types of guys that you would give that type of grade to. But the NFL is desperate for quarterbacks.
