I was thinking about this more today. The only scenario I can think of is, Darnold is the cheapest option we have (Carr and Watson will be too much draft capital) and there are no decent QB’s worth taking in rounds 2-7. Basically, they want to get another QB in here, but there are not many options that won’t cost 2-3 first rounders. I much rather sign Fitzpatrick for a cheap option, at least you get some leadership and big plays. Darnold you get neither.
