Something about beggars and choosers and law of supply/demand.
First no shot to draft a blue-chip prospect at #24.

Legitimate starting QB prospects (my rank): Lawrence (#1 overall) Wilson (#7) Lance (#11) Fields (#12) Trask (#35) Jones (#45)

Yep.
Marcus Mosher@Marcus_Mosher
I really think we are going to see four quarterbacks drafted inside the top-8 picks and five in the top-15.
----------------------------------
Free agents w/starting exp: Dak Prescott (franchise tag) Jacoby Brissett Mitchell Trubisky Tyrod Taylor Andy Dalton Cam Newton Jameis Winston
-----------------------
Next, demand is high.

Supply vs. Demand at the QB position is always insane, but this year is absolutely wild. A thread.
- Teams that may replace starting QB: Jets Panthers Broncos 49ers Rams
- Teams that need a starter within 1-2 years due to age or play: Jaguars Falcons Lions Patriots Washington Chicago Colts Steelers Saints Buccaneers
Ross Tucker@RossTuckerNFL
Teams with legitimate quarterback questions for 2021: -NO -PIT -IND -LAR -MIA? -CHI -NE -WASH -DAL? -SF -CAR -DEN -DET -PHI -HOU -NYJ -JAX? 17!
More than half the league has some level of uncertainty.
That might be a record.

You can quickly see how the draftable quarterbacks will be gone very early in Round 1.
The connection of need vs. available talent will leave multiple teams without good options at the position.
