Turning Attention to the Draft

Re: Turning Attention to the Draft

There is absolutely no reason to draft a QB at all right now. Just roll with Rat and see what you have. Draft some effing OL and DL/End/Secondary guys. Maybe another WR and/or TE.

There is no QB in this draft aside from Ward that is worth a move up. And I think the QBs next year are better than Ward. This QB draft is weak and selling draft picks to move up to get one is stupid.

If you can get one of them in the 2nd or 3rd round and you want to take a flyer I can understand. But in doing that, you might be passing on a solid pick that may be able to help immediately.

I gotta disagree. I doubt Arch Manning comes out next year so scratch him off the list. Nico Iamaleava is raw talent without the numbers to back it up, plus there's going to be character questions with the move he tried to pull on Tennessee. Garret Nussmeier isn't better than Ward or Sanders and is more in line with a Jaxson Dart. It might a deeper draft class for QB's next year but the top of the class isn't really head and shoulders above this one.

The coach should put their name on it.

Woah!

But then again, if interested wouldn't you try to devalue the player? That's why this time of year is called the "lying period" by many.
