    What do you believe Sam Darnold's fair market value to be?

    On one hand - he's looked horrible and he's regressed.

    On the other - good personnel people understand the poor OL, skill players, and coaching he's worked with. And a number of teams with good management and better players have a need for a QB like Darnold.

    If we are drafting another QB and Flacco walks his value is a back up QB/clip board holder

    A 4th at most at this point. He has a year left on his rookie contract and has regressed mightily. Unlike last year and the year before, he hasn't had a game or three where you can say he played well.

    I used to think 2nd round, but he's been so bad this season. I'm thinking 4th or 5th round. On the other hand, if teams are desperate and think they can revive him, there could be a bidding war. I was surprised by the value received in the Adams trade, so a 2nd round pick is possible.

    Bidding war for Darnold ... thanks for the laugh. Adams was a top 3 Safety, Darnold is not in a starter in the NFL

    Somewhere between these two. It might even be worth it to keep him, decline the fifth year option and see if he can start the year and improve his value at the start of next year.

    I don't think anyone would want to toss anything more than a mid round flyer on him.

    Depends on how much heterogeneity there is across teams. IMO his market value should be a mid-round pick but if a couple teams really want him, we might be able to get them to bid up the price to a second rounder.

    Best case dream scenario would be a Brees / Rivers 2.0 (without it ending with a torn labrum)

    Should turn this into a poll with rounds 1-7 and “not traded” as options.

    I’d imagine his value is low enough right now that it makes more sense to keep him. It really depends on how the rest of the season goes.

    Gase will get the Lions HC/GM job, then he'll call Joe Douglas and offer to keep his mouth shut over the Tank for Trevor deal if Joe ships Sam to the Lions for a conditional 7th.

    Right now? Maybe a 4th. But we should probably play out the season first. Sam still has a shot at going 5-0 and ruining our Trevor plans. Joe could still draft 'other' QB and trade Sam, but in this case Sam will probably draw a 2nd or maybe even a low 1st.

    He has a lot of talent and seems pretty bright and motivated, so good organizations may believe they can coach him up. I know it's wishful thinking, but I'm not knowledgable enough to know what's really going on.

    Someone with QB issues and a not-high-enough draft pick will give up a third. Bears? Broncos? Redskins?

    I could see a 2022 third round pick, but only a 2021 fourth rounder. I also could see them getting no offers at all - it all depends on how strongly a GM buys into the "Jets ruined him we can fix him" narrative.

    I think he can get a 2nd rounder for Sam by selling the fact he had a bad OL and no receivers blah blah blah... that’s best case scenario
