Then you have to figure out what you are going to do with your 3rd string QB. Carry 3 or risk hiding him on the practice squad.
I think there is less than a 1% chance they get rid of JB. He is on the last yr of his contract, costs to much for anyone to want to trade for him and he can win a game or two if Rivers gets dinged up.

I think there are two options other than "not draft a QB" in relation to QB in the draft, both of which I think are more likely.
Option 1: They fell in love with Jordan Love or Jacob Eason and they'll either trade up for their guy or stay put and get him.
Option 2: They have a Day 3 guy that they like and has developmental traits that they think could add up to a starting QB under the right conditions.
For me in this draft, here's what I see at QB:
Tier 1
Joe Burrow
Tua Tagavailoa
Tier 2
Justin Herbert
Jordan Love
Jacob Eason
Anthony Gordon
Tier 3
Jalen Hurts
Jake Fromm
Tier 4
Everyone else
That is why I'd prefer Option 2, because IMO there's one guy in Tier 2 that's universally seen as a Day 3 guy. I'd draft Anthony Gordon in round 5 or 6, and be confident that I'm getting a developmental guy at a similar level as if I draft a guy in round 2. That level of investment would not prohibit future investment in a QB, either.
