I suppose there are still many was this could go.The more I think about it, the more I don't think there is going to be a team willing to trade to number 2 for a QB. There are going to be 3 first round QBs taken in Young, Stroud and Levis.

1. Texans - you would think they go QB because Mills is not the answer
2. Bears - we need DL obviously here
3. Seahawks - have 2 first rounders
4. Cardinals - have Murray
5. Lions - have 2 first rounders
6. Colts - need a QB
7. Falcons - need a QB
8. Panthers - need a QB
9. Eagles - obviously no
10. Packers - doubt it
The teams that need a QB in that 6-8 range will be potentially in on Stroud or Levis assuming Young is taken by the Texans. Do they try and leapfrog the Seahawks (who have the Broncos first round pick)? I just don't know if Stroud or Levis move the bar enough for teams to do that. I think they wait for either of them thinking the teams ahead are not going QB and if they are wrong so be it as either of them are not rated as high as some QBs in years past. I could be wrong and the combine or pro days could wow some teams but as of now, I think we are not going to have any offers that blow us away.
You're implying the Seahawks won't want to trade #3 for a QB because they have another first rounder. That other first rounder will be in the 15-20 range. They're not getting a stud QB there.
On the other hand, having the #15 pick may make them more likely to give up the #3, a 2nd and future first(s) to get the guy they want.
Will Detroit stick with Goff? They could draft two really good players in Round 1 and run it back with Goff who has a lot of time left. But that means kicking the can down the road a while. But they may prefer that to giving up a haul to a division rival to pick a QB now.
But with three teams at 6-7-8 that are very QB needy, there will be demand for the #2.
If we're thinking 'worst case' scenario....some other QB(s) show enough at the combine to make some teams value them in the range of teh top 2, and Houston does a typical dumb Houston thing and picks a defensive player. At that point, supply is higher than we want. But I find all that unlikely. And it still comes down to a team really identifying one particular guy, or one of two, as "the guy."
That's all it will take.
Two team vying for that pick: Good situation
Three or four teams? Terrific!
