Odell Beckham Jr., Ryan Tannehill Best Landing Spots After 2024 NFL Draft Day 2 | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Best Landing Spots: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers
Once upon a time, Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield were in competition for the Buccaneers' QB1 spot. Mayfield won out, enjoyed a career resurrection in 2023 and is now signed in Tampa Bay long-term. Trask, a second-round pick in 2021, has only thrown 10 passes in his NFL career. The Bucs would ultimately be better served with a more experienced backup behind Mayfield. Plus, at this point, Trask is on a contract year, and it's certainly possible that both sides part ways after this season as is, so it's not as if the Bucs are linked with him long-term.
Detroit Lions backup Hendon Hooker is a tantalizing talent who once dominated at Tennessee and finished fifth in the 2022 Heisman Trophy race. But he also hasn't played since suffering a devastating knee injury that ended his collegiate career in Nov. 2022. Hooker could very well find a home as a QB1 somewhere someday and carve out a successful career. But it may also be a bit nervy to hand the keys to him if QB1 Jared Goff has to miss time simply due to his lack of experience.
In Green Bay, Jordan Love looks like the real deal and should be QB1 in town for a really long time after a great rookie year, but it would probably behoove the team to get some more experience in the QB room. Sean Clifford was a superstar at Penn State, and he was a fantastic leader on and off the field. He should have a nice career as a backup in this league and could even get some shots as a spot starter for teams here and there. But as of now, he is QB2 and has just one lifetime pass to show for it from his 2023 rookie year. Tannehill could be a good addition here.
