How delusional does a writer need to be…
to thirst for clicks so badly???
.
Not 1… but 2 teams pass on Caleb…
to fulfill this Donkey Writer’s wet dream.
.
correct…
but is Washington… who traded Howell away…
and with Kliff Kingsbury at OC….
the SAME Kliff that just spent 2023 working with Caleb….
going to trade down with anybody???
I am not trying to be a wet blanket. And I have clowned writers and mock drafts for years. But this guy spends some time in his preface to the mock draft explaining that he is toying around with a concept. In this mock he is exploring the idea that if the Bears draft someone other than Caleb Williams, that means Washington is sitting on a lottery ticket. He says that Washington would receive “significant compensation” that makes it worth their while, but they also could stay high enough to land a QB. That’s how they end up with Drake Maye.
If Chicago passes on Caleb he goes #2 overall to Washington . Where he grew up

When 28 teams pass on Caleb, that Lions pick at 29 will be worth a 2025 and 2026 first round pick. Man, NFL draft fan fiction is fun.

That’s certainly a strong possibility. BUT…there is also a slight chance that Washington ends up getting a king’s sum while still having a pick high enough to get the QB they thought they were going draft anyways (because they probably assume Caleb will be gone). Its a thought excercise. They aren’t moving down for fun. They are moving down in this mock because the compensation to do so is astronomical. So imagine if Washington plans to draft Drake Maye. Then an offer comes in that allows them to still draft Drake Maye while acquiring premium draft capital and Patrick Surtain.
Here is another snippet from where he prefaces the mock:

I get it…I’m still trying to mastermind my scenario where we keep Goff, get JJ & Surtain.
And my scenario is still more likely than his!
There is a way, if you want it bad enough!
La’el Collins, 2015, undrafted FA, Cowboys
Collins’ tumble down the draft board eclipses that of Laremy Tunsil, considering the horrific circumstances that caused it. The LSU tackle projected by many as a top-10 pick was named in a murder investigation two days before the draft. He was never a suspect, but he wasn’t cleared by police until after the draft
Collins basically forced his way to the Cowboys once he knew he wasn’t getting selected in the top few rounds.
I still think the NFC East teams should have burned a 7-th rounder on him just to thwart the Cowgirls…
But the pancake eatin MF still gets his man and saves 5 million dollars.
