With all the holes the Purple has on defense, I would not want to trade up into the top 3.

Much too much draft capital.

If we have to trade up a couple spots for McCarthy, then I'm all for it.

Ideally, we'd trade down a couple spots, pick up another 2nd round pick and draft McCarthy, but I'm not confident that he'll be there.

I'd take Caleb Williams if the opportunity was there, but sure I'll take Drake Maye.

You trade up for a rookie QB, you're not really expecting to compete this year.. a choice has to be made.

Yep.

I think we'll have to...the interesting part will be how the draft unfolds and how high we'll be able to move up.

And, of course, at what cost.

If they can't get Caleb, Maye, or Daniels, I hope they go for Penix with their pick

Time to get a young 1st Round QB and give it a go

If it doesn't work, just move on and draft another one in 2 years
