Assuming we keep Decker together with Sewell I think the pieces are there for us to have a good o-line, making this upcoming draft a better time to pick one of the QBs, assuming our front office likes one of them. Our front offices track record of drafting or signing/trading for QBs is both up and down. I would say thanks to John Dorsey though, more up than down. I feel pretty comfortable with Dorsey's QB evaluation skills and hope he is close with Holmes and in his ear when it comes to drafting a QB.
Brad Holmes
Traded up for Jared Goff - Holmes was in large part responsible for the Rams trading future draft capital, including multiple 1sts, to move up and get Jared Goff. It may have gotten them to a Super Bowl, but in hindsight, it looks like it was more coaching from McVay, Todd Gurley, and the defense that did that was responsible for the Super Bowl run than Goff. I'd call this trade a waste for the Rams in the end, given the draft capital they gave up and the limited time Goff ended up spending with the Rams. Beyond Goff, Holmes has little track record with acquiring QBs for an organization, ours or LA.
John Dorsey
Scouted and was apart of drafting Aaron Rodgers - When John Dorsey returned to the Packers he came back as their Director of college scouting. As Director of College Scouting he was partly responsible for scouting and encouraging GM Ron Wolf to draft Aaron Rodgers, when they already had another HOF QB on the roster in Brett Farve. It was a big time gamble by Wolf, Dorsey, and co. and it paid off big time in the end.
Traded for Alex Smith - Dorsey went and traded a 2nd round pick and another conditional pick to get the Chiefs Alex Smith when he was their GM. While Smith was an average to slightly above average starter for the Chiefs it is what Dorsey did next with him that was his best move.
Drafted Patrick Mahomes - Dorsey did what he did in Green Bay which was draft another young, high ceiling prospect in Patrick Mahomes, when he had a starter already on the roster. Sitting Mahomes behind Smith seemingly gave the guy a full year to learn the playbook, adjust to the NFL game speed, and grow as a player. This move obviously paid off as it got the Chiefs a top 2-3 QB in the league. Great move again by Dorsey to take the gamble and win.
Drafted Baker Mayfield - I liked Baker coming out of college and so did John Dorsey because he picked him when others around the league were clamoring for the Browns to take Darnold or Rosen. Baker is clearly better than Darnold and Rosen but I'm not sure what to make of the Browns under Baker Mayfield's tenure as QB. Are they and is he the team that was a game away from an AFC Championship last year or are they more the team of this season? Injuries have certainly hampered Cleveland this year, so it may not be fair to judge Baker when half his offensive line and offensive weapons are out injured.
