For some teams, it’s time to prepare for the playoffs. For others, there’s one week left to make a move.
And for a few, it’s mock draft season. Of those afterthoughts, plenty need to either hone in on a first-round quarterback or at least consider the notion, knowing their current starter isn’t worthy of playing for a playoff hopeful come autumn.
Taking a realistic look, at least a quarter of the NFL should be in this mode. The Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, New England Patriots, New York Giants and Atlanta Falcons are no-brainers, in dire need of an immediate upgrade. Then there’s the Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders and Arizona Cardinals, who can argue either way.
