2017 Off-Season QB Landing Spots

Hi, with the off-season just beginning and a great QB market this off-season, I will be discussing the teams that need could be suitors to draft, trade, or sign a QB this off-season that could make an impact. Some quick news that the Jags trade tight end Julius Thomas for Dolphins O lineman Branden Albert. Here it is:

Cleveland Browns:
The Browns need a QB and they have great chances at getting a good one. Holding the first overall pick in the draft and the 12th overall pick, 2 top 15 picks they can use one on a QB or not or trade one of them for a QB. The Browns have tried so many QBs this year, here is the long list: Robert Griffin III, Josh McCown, Cody Kessler, Kevin Hogan, Charlie Whitehurst, even QB turned wide receiver Terrelle Pryor took snaps. This team needs a good QB fast and it will happen this off-season. Likely pickup: Jimmy Garapollo, Patriots


San Fransisco 49ers:
Everyone knows the Niners biggest need is QB and with the 2nd pick in the draft they are the likely first team to select a QB which rules out a free agent or trade. However if they don't go QB in the draft they might try and get a QB off the big market. New coach Kyle Shannahan is great with developing young QBs so this team can be in good hands if they get someone good this off-season. Likely pickup: Mitch Trubisky, College/Draft

Chicago Bears:
The Bears have needed a QB for the longest time and we know the Jay Culter era is over. News that they have been trying to shop him all of January was spread and if he gets no takers he will likely be cut. The Bears hold the 3rd overall pick in the draft where they could probably get someone like DeShaun Watson who I think will be the next big QB in the NFL. The Bears will strike for a QB this off-season. Likely pickup: DeShaun Watson, College/Draft

New York Jets:
If all the QBs are picked before the Jets 6th overall pick, they could be screwed considering they might not be able to get a QB off the free agent market. It is likely though that the Jets could even be the first team to take a QB in the draft if the top teams don't before them. I'm thinking the Jets will draft someone but if they don't expect someone like Jay Cutler to be under center for the Jets next season. Likely pickup: DeShone Kizer, College/Draft

Denver Broncos:
The Broncos do have 2 QBs that could be starters in Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch, but neither are completely ready to start yet and with a late first round pick, the Broncos won't likely be able to draft anyone leaving them with someone from free agency. Tony Romo would be a great fit on the team where he could play his last years and the young QBs could learn from him and be ready to start when his time is done in Denver. Likely pickup: Tony Romo, Cowboys

Houston Texans:
Houston we have a problem. The Texans overpaid trash QB Brock Osweiler who turned out to be a bust and the Texans are now BACK on the market for a new QB. The draft won't be much help since they have a late pick in the first round but free agency could be what they need. If they can land an under the radar QB like Brian Hoyer, Mike Glennon, or Sam Bradford maybe it could be the turning point they need. Likely pickup: TO HARD TO SAY

Arizona Cardinals:
The Cards don't need a QB immediatly but this is likely Carson Palmer's last season and the team will want to start looking for the future. They have an early-ish pick in the first round and may be lucky enough to land someone good for the future. I don't know if the team will address QB this off-season but it is a major possibility. Likely pickup: TO HARD TO SAY

Buffalo Bills:
I think that the Bills don't need to get rid of Tyrod Taylor because he is actually pretty good but the team thinks so and so I will list them as a taker. If the Bills are lucky enough for a good QB to fall into their lap by pick 10 they will be happy but they could be stuck drafting lower class QB Pat MaHomes at 10. Who knows what the Bills will do for QB this off-season... Likely pickup: Pat Mahomes, College/Draft


Thanks for reading! :)
