As we get closer to the NFL draft in 2019 in Nashville, Tennessee, a handful of teams will come in search of a quarter. Whether it is a team that desperately needs a new flagman, a team that just wants a new guy to attack or a team that wants to get ahead of the last seasons of the season. quarterback under center, scenarios for landing the guy are many.
For every team that could at least consider taking a QB, our NFL Nation reporters looked at the prospects the franchise is interested in, the assets it has to conquer them, and how it could all be done – from best case at worst. .

First round choice: N ° 1 | Level of need: 5 out of 10
Who they like: It's no secret that new coach Kliff Kingsbury loves Oklahoma's quarterback, Kyler Murray. He has known him since high school and has recruited him to Texas A & M and Texas Tech. The Cardinals met Murray at Scouting and greeted him with his agent Erik Burkhardt – who also represents Kingsbury – on a visit to Arizona. But the Cardinals already have a quarterback to Josh Rosen. Their desire to have a new quarterback could outweigh their lack of real needs, and that is Murray or the fiasco if the Cards leave in QB.
If the Cardinals want Murray, then all they have to do is submit their draft now and take it to the front row. If it is their type, it is possible and plausible that the Cards have already begun to establish Murray's contract. But they could also easily decide to recruit a defensive player or accept a trade pack too good to be missed. The only thing that's missing is that it could be a huge smokescreen, in which they feel the defense is a bigger need and they are satisfied with Rosen. But another layer is whether the cards can get what they want for Rosen in an exchange, whether before, during or after the draft.

Kyler Murray of Oklahoma is an aggressive game maker with a strong arm, quick release and good passing accuracy.
What are they most likely to do: Murray's draft at No. 1. He does not necessarily need to direct the air raid, but Kingsbury loves Murray a lot. And after Arizona saw Russell Wilson win a Super Bowl as a divisional foe after dropping it in 2012, he might not want to miss out on someone who, in his opinion, could be a decisive quarterback for the franchise. – Josh Weinfuss
Choice of the first round: Nos 4, 24, 27 | Level of need: 3 of 10
Who they like: Although his coach, Jon Gruden, spoke very well about his skills at the Senior Bowl by praising Murray's skills, he might actually prefer Dwayne Haskins. The Raiders worked on two quarters and Gruden also coached Drew Lock in the Senior Bowl.
When: April 25-27
Or: Nashville, Tennessee

Commercial assets: With Derek Carr, a 125-million-dollar man, entering the third year of his five-year extension, the Raiders seem to remain in that position. Gruden and his new chief executive Mike Mayock said Carr was their "quarterback". But if Carr is more Mr. Right Now than Mr. Right, the Raiders should at least hit the tires on a quarterback, right? With four choices – half of their total – in the first 35 selections, the Raiders could eventually move to the front row to snatch Murray. However, that would mean decimating the rest of their supply, and Mayock could actually think of reducing the number further, as the Raiders currently have no choice between numbers 36 and 105.
The best scenario case: Haskins will fall to Oakland in 4th place looks likely, and Lock could probably be in 6th or even 17th if Oakland trades with the Giants for more mid-term choices. But Raiders need smugglers first and foremost.
Plan B: Gruden also coached Daniel Jones and Ryan Finley at the Senior Bowl. They could both still be 35th.
What are they most likely to do: No early choice on a QB. Even though it is tempting for the Raiders to negotiate for additional mid-term selections, the smart money suits them today and allows them to get one or more basic elements in defense matters. Along with Carr, the Raiders also have Mike Glennon, Landry Jones and Nathan Peterman on the roster to assist him. – Paul Gutierrez
Choice of the first round: Nos 6, 17 | Level of need: 9 out of 10
Who they like: The Giants met all the top quarters en route, showing due diligence for all viable options. They seem to be very fond of Lock. His physical skills, combined with three years of experience at the start, make him the most likely target for the Giants with their two first-round picks. Jones, with his Manning connections and his cerebral approach, could also be an option with the 17th choice. The Giants seem uncertain about Haskins, who has had a season of experience and lacks mobility. It seems more popular in faux-projects than at 1925 Giants Drive.

Dwayne Haskins is a talented Ohio State smuggler with good arm strength.
Commercial assets: The Giants are committed to maximizing value with their two best choices. They will not force a quarter. If their score does not match the player (regardless of the position), they will pass. So, although they are likely to switch to the shift position at number 6 at this point, it is possible that they go from number 17 to get Lock or Jones, for example, at the beginning of the day. ;adolescence. This would seem to fit with their plans and their desire to maximize value. The Giants have 10 choices outside the first round with which to work for something to happen.
The best scenario case: One of the best defensemen in the repechage – Josh Allen, Nick Bosa or Quinnen Williams – falls in the Giants' lap. Their quarterback (presumably Lock) is still available at No. 17. It would be a dream for New York. Or the cardinals pass Murray and he is there in 6th place.
Plan B: Yes, it is rather improbable. Instead, the Giants landed Ed Oliver at number 6 and Jones was waiting for them at age 17. It seems more realistic.
If all else fails: The Giants defend at number 6. Lock left before 17. Jones too. The Giants go completely into the quarterback position in the first round, but they think Will Grier or Jarrett Stidham have value, whether in the second or third round. They pull the trigger. This is the third year in a row that the Giants are taking the quarter 2 or 3 years in the hope that it will work, but it is likely that they will remain without quarter-duty and continue to waste precious assets with choices that should produce quality starters.

The Joker: It is not out of the question for the Giants to postpone their decision on the quarter in 2020. Odell Beckham Jr.'s trade has saved them a little more time; their reconstruction now does not need to align with its age. Rosen, Arizona, could be worth it if the price is low enough for the Giants to enter the fray. They are not crazy about him, but at a cheap price, that may be worth the risk … for the moment. They can then return to the quarterback market during the next year 's draft.
What are they most likely to do: Defense at No. 6 and up a few places from No. 17 to landing. Maybe it's at 12 in a trade with the Packers or 13 with the Dolphins. The price should not be too high and it would give the giants hope for the future. They know that the pressure is strong to find the successor of Eli Manning and that the fan base is agitated. Getting the next quarter of the franchise on the list gives hope. The organization needs a positive momentum for the moment. – Jordan Raanan
First round choice: No. 10 | Level of need: 7 out of 10
Who they like: The Broncos made preliminary visits to their team with Haskins, Murray, Lock and Jones. Haskins is the most complete for his system, and Jones stock has increased with the team since the Senior Bowl. Murray would need a major change in their offensive planning. Lock has athleticism and arm, but his accuracy gives at least a break to the Broncos.
Do the numbers corroborate what scouting reports say about the first 10 quarters of the project? Todd McShay and John Parolin detail each skill set.
Linebacker Devin White has the best chance of being a star, according to our projection model. Here is who joins him and who is overrated.

Commercial assets: Since they have just acquired Joe Flacco to be a quarter of the immediate future, they have less capital to move than others. They have eight choices in total, but only two in the top 50 (# 10 and # 41). Therefore, moving to the first round would certainly require a # 1 future.
The best scenario case: In the past, General Manager John Elway has been cautious in dealing with and complying with the team's tables of values. The Broncos have already canceled a potential deal for Joe Thomas because the Browns wanted to add an extra pick to a total. Flacco provides them with immediate help, so that they do not have to make an unbalanced gesture to get a quarter. Their best case is an unexpected slide from Haskins or come back in the bottom of the first round. There will also be solid options at the beginning of the second.
Plan B: Patience will be the virtue and they wait until next year to try again. And the fact that the Broncos worked so hard to trade Flacco shows that they considered it a very real possibility not to tempt the best players. Denver still has to use one of the eight choices of a quarterback because it has not written any, but Flacco is helping the Broncos to avoid the kind of mistake made when it was done. exchange to get Paxton Lynch in 2016.
If all else fails: Get a guy in development, such as Tyree Jackson, Grier or Stidham, from Buffalo, who can learn behind Flacco. Now, if Flacco is injured in early 2019, patience suffers enormously, but if the Broncos pass the QBs in the first round, they can reset themselves, watch next year and take their favorite passer on the board. this time who does not call Haskins, Murray or Lock.
What are they most likely to do: Defense at number 10 and take the first option available in series 2 or 3. The most likely scenario is a rinsing and a repeat of the 2018 project. Sitting in fifth place, a year ago, after Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold was excluded from the board, Elway had initially considered trading down, but stayed where Bradley Chubb was still available. If Haskins fell in 10th place, Elway would take a long look, but in the end, with the price tag to go up extraordinarily high, the Broncos can sit down and take on one of the best players defensive of the painting. – Jeff Legwold
First round choice: N ° 13 | Level of need: 10 of 10
Who they like: The Dolphins have done some important homework, meeting Murray, Haskins, Lock and Jones, but they have not yet specified their rank in the group. Miami is thought to be very high on Murray, but it seems unlikely that it will be available even with a modest rise in trade. Haskins and Lock are more likely options.
Commercial assets: General Manager Chris Grier said the Dolphins would do all that was needed to get a franchise QB, including trading. That said, there is probably a limit to the height of Miami's willingness to cope with the huge needs throughout the list. Dolphins currently have 10 choices (12 with compensatory choices planned) in the 2020 draft. The idea here is that they would be ready to win half a dozen positions if they fell in love with a QB.
The best scenario case: There have been rumors that Haskins may fall further than originally planned in the project. If the Dolphins like Haskins, or Lock, and their guy falls in the range of 10-12, it might be interesting to trade for their QB franchise. This would give Miami a head start on reconstruction and all the attention could go to building trenches.

Former QB Duke, Daniel Jones, spent three years teaching David Cutcliffe, "QB Whisperer". He is now entering the NFL project as a potential player for the first round.
Plan B: Buckle up your belt for the hectic 2019 season and get ready for the franchise quarter harvest of 2020. And it's not such a bad scenario depending on which side of the "Tank for Tua" campaign you're located . Indeed, all eyes are on Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert and Jake Fromm if Miami can not get their QB in the first round this month. And dolphins could always choose a quarterback in the middle of the round.
What are they most likely to do: Wait until 2020. The quarterbacks always seem to go higher than expected on draft day, so it's hard to see one of the two love Dolphins falling on their lap lap of choice number 13. Miami is determined not to be content with a quarter not believe that this player can change the franchise. The Dolphins could approach the quarterback in the middle with Stidham, Grier or Jackson, then hit again next year. Watch a lot of Alabama football this season, dolphin fans. – Cameron Wolfe
First round choice: N ° 15 | Level of need: 8 out of 10
Who they like: The Redskins organized tours with each top quarter, followed by a few. They have met Jones many times and love Murray. There are parts of the Lock and Haskins games that they like. Jones is considered a product closer to the finished product, but the Redskins are no different from the other teams with the repechage in quarterbacks: everywhere. And remember, the Redskins could still trade against Rosen, a person they loved before the 2018 project. They were not going to trade a first round pick for him and might not trade the second round, but if the # Arizona was getting desperate on draft day, the Redskins might try to embark on a third round bid and avoid it altogether.
Football Outsiders projects the best hopes in key positions:
Commercial assets: The Redskins have nine choices, including four in the first three rounds. In the past, they did not hesitate to choose a quarter, like Donovan McNabb in 2010, Robert Griffin III in 2012 and Alex Smith a year ago. The Redskins would trade for Murray, maybe even a player would be part of a compensation program in order not to exhaust their available capital. There is also a chance that they trade in the first round and gain more choice on the second day.
The best scenario case: They trade for Murray. He is the quarterback for which Washington would qualify because he is the most ready to make an impact in the games now. That's what the Redskins need most and covet. It would also create a buzz for a franchise in need; This is not a good reason for a trade, but it is a reality. They would have to pay a heavy price to move to Murray, probably in the front row, but it is the quarter that tempts them the most.
Plan B: Patience. The Redskins love the other quarterbacks after the first round, including Stidham and Clayton Thorson. They also met Grier several times. There are also quarterbacks in the last rounds that intrigue the Redskins (they met Jacob Dolegala), so it's just as likely that they're waiting until then to pick a smuggler for development. They actually have Case Keenum and Colt McCoy, so a third quarterback could be developed. And if after a year, they do not see it as a future future, they will try again in 2020.
What are they most likely to do: Develop a QB for development on rounds 2 or 3. The bet is that they will be the most tempted by Jones or Lock in 15th place even if Haskins is available, but will pass them in the end. It's really difficult because the situation is so fluid. But remember, coach Jay Gruden was once part of a Bengals team that selected Andy Dalton in the second round and named him coach immediate. They want to get a quarterback, but also know that with Keenum and McCoy, they do not do it. need take a high they do not like anyone available. They could therefore opt for a less important choice, see if it develops and try again in 2020. – John Keim
TEAMS LOOKING FOR FUTURE REPLACEMENT
These three teams are ready for the current position, but with an aging quarterback or a guy they might want to pass with, the Patriots, Chargers and Bengals should be serious in this year's QB draft class. develop for the future. Here's what they could do at the end of the month.
An heir to Tom Brady: If Brady reaches his goal of playing until the age of 45, the Patriots will have four years to regain his heir. With six caps in the top 101 this year – including numbers 32, 56 and 64 – they are well positioned to do what they did in 2014 when they had Jimmy Garoppolo at the end of the second round. The key, of course, is to identify and develop the right perspective. They welcomed Jones, Grier, Stidham and Thorson during preliminary visits, which could be a sign of their intentions. – Mike Reiss
What are they most likely to do: Grier at n ° 64

Clayton Thorson is a Northwestern quarterback who scored 17 touchdowns and over 3,000 yards in his senior season.
An heir to Philip Rivers: The shippers have not chosen a quarterback in the repechage since 2013. Once again, they did a lot of work on the job before this year's draft. 2019 could therefore be the year to add Rivers' heir. "Since the day I arrived here, we have been reviewing this topic every year," said Chargers GM Tom Telesco. "It's not yet aligned." However, the Chargers are not likely to take the quarterback position in the first round, instead expecting a development perspective like Stidham or Thorson on the second or third day of the repechage. The Chargers already have a strong base at Tyrod Taylor, having signed it for an 11-year, $ 11 million contract with an independent agency. Taylor is 29, so there is no reason for the Bolts to have a quarter in the first round. – Eric D. Williams
What are they most likely to do: Stidham at n ° 91
An heir to Andy Dalton: The Bengals have been saying firmly for months that Dalton is their guy, but with a new coaching staff, anything can happen. Dalton is two years older on his contract, but the Bengals could easily pass after this season if he does not behave at the height. The team has many other needs, which makes the prospect of a quarter day of the first day doubtful, unless one falls into the towers. It is expected that Grier will leave the board during the second day. Although some projections predict it in the second round, if it is still in 72nd place, the Bengals must take this into account. – Katherine Terrell
What are they most likely to do: Grier at no. 72
