Doesn't matter. He knew he was back for year 2. That's what matters
Licht actually addresses the Trask pick, as it relates to Brady. If you take Licht at his word he knew they would need to go through a rebuild, get past all the cap issues, so drafting a project QB made sense
just relaying what he said (paraphrasing)
I believe it... and that's beyond stupid.
You can rebuild with journeymen qbs like Bridgwater, Mariota, Dalton etc.
Trask is likely worse than all 3 of those.
new OC and scheme, Oline in transition, one of the worst RB room, a young TE group of Day 3 picks in 2022 and 2023... don't see Bowles benching Baker after the bye week, even if he struggles in high fashion!
imo first deadline will be the TNF game (if Kyle shines in preseason)... and if i've to bet, Trask isn't in the starting line-up until we're out of the playoffs race (9-10 losses)!
there is no real competition between Baker and Kyle, it's Baker's job to lose.
Kyle'll have his shot (in some 4th Qtr lost games and) later in the season if Baker looks like Jameis 2.0!

yeah the point as I saw it is that trask was very unlikely to become a starting NFL QB
Dumb pick. Guy may be able to make a career out of holding the clip board but I could also see him out of the league after his rookie contract
He just isn't that guy. He's barely the backup guy.

to your point, we picked up Mayfield.
but, I think Lichts comments were about having a low cap value rookie contract QB because so much Brady money against the cap
But the journeymen ARE cheap. Yes Trask is cheaper, but it's nominal.

I think what some trask defenders aren’t factoring in is how detrimental that pick was to our repeat chances
you may recall in 2021 that we had many injuries in secondary, WR, and even offensive line. You also may recall we were good enough to be 13-4 for 2nd seeding.
now let’s pretend we had a depth player at one of those positions in the second round that played well due to injury and we are 14-3. Well, now we are the 1 seed and don’t play in round 1.
who gets hurt in round 1? Our all pro tackle tristian wirfs
we lost to the rams by a field goal. Does the outcome potentially change with wirfs healthy?

agreed. I was just clarifying Licht's point.
If Trask is/was a capable starter during this rebuild it would've supported his point, but I dont think they see him as that
