Turning Attention to the Draft

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.

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.

That's a great draft. I don't think Dart is falling to 40 though.

Mahomes - traded up for
Josh Allen - traded up for
Lamar - traded up for
Jordan Love - traded up for
Watson - traded up for

You either have a top pick or you go get your guy. There is no waiting around.

Trubisky - traded up for
Trey Lyles - traded up for
Johnny manziel - traded up for
Paxton Lynch. - traded up for

It cuts both ways….

Let's not forget that 60% of all first round QB draftees are busts historically. That doesn't mean the other 40% were starters either. It just means they stayed in the league in some capacity for a period of time.

I'd warn to not hang your hat on anything out there this draft.

Wow, what a bunch of bad picks @ QB.

It’s a crap shoot.

Thank you, Major! I've been saying this for years, especially when it comes to QB's.
