We have neglected KR/PR forever in the draft. Hence why I said in my offseason predictions that we would do so again.

fuging stupid as fug. Also about par for the course as a Panthers fan

The salary cap went up. $30 mil/year is mediocre starter money now.

Are you planning on paying him in draft picks??

Yeah, I may have my own opinions but even if he takes Levis/Richardson, I will give him a chance to work with them. He has earned some benefit of the doubt in his NFL career.

Well he was a guy that reportedly did not want Tua, so I imagine the thought of Kyler Murray couldn't have excited him.

I am 100% okay with this scenario.

I sincerely hope you are correct. It would be fantastic to see the Broncos fail that miserably after trading away premium draft picks. On the other hand, it will suck to see the Saints get two top 10 picks.

Lol. What insight is needed on something that a simple search of the results from the NFL Combine could have netted? Good luck with your "science."

This tracks with your first post pretty well.

Please go review the definition of "science" and possibly at least read the first couple of paragraphs of the "scientific method" Wiki. Maybe that elementary understanding something will make your realize how completely moronic what you posted was.

There are a lot of things that are science, what you just did is possibly the least scientific thing ever. This is what happens to people when ESPN's Sports "Science" segment is the most exposure to science they have.

Losing the draft is how you lose games. I am not advocating the top 2 or bust, but you need to believe in the guy or you simply don't take him.

Yeah, if it was all about size, Cam would still be playing now.

My point being that I don't think that size is much of a factor when it comes to being injury prone. That is usually just the specific player's body, how much damage they take over time and how they are able to heal from that damage. If the only concerns about Young are basically that he is small, that means he is a far and away the best QB in this draft.

Not every team will have 1st round grades on these QB's. Positional value moves QB's up substantially, sometimes regardless of the evaluations.

Picking a guy with a 2nd round or lower grade in the top ten has a very unsuccessful history. That is how you start fuging up a draft.

The issue this year is cost. It will cost quite a bit to get one of the top two guys in this draft. It's a better class overall(especially at the top) but the cost will be quite high to get to that point.

Good thing we had him "compete" for the job this past offseason. Too bad he "lost" that competition.

He is one of the least accurate first round picks in recent memory. 54.7% completion percentage is not something you see for an elite prospect very often. The only one I can think of that low recently was Kyle Boller(much lower, actually). Josh Allen was 56.2% but that is another "planning on an outlier" scenario. It is historically rare for QB's to have better accuracy in the NFL than they did in college.

Yeah, Cam's injuries weren't caused by lack of size. It was just two freak occurrences. Drew Brees didn't have his career ended by injury. Russell Wilson hasn't either. I get that the risk FEELS higher for little guys but I don't think the evidence backs up that assumption. A quality QB should be adept at feeling pressure and getting rid of the ball to limit hits. That goes for scrambling or running QB's too. You don't want to draft a guy or sign a guy with a bad injury history, obviously. That is a bigger red flag than size. Wear and tear is very real. You also want to make sure you strive to protect the QB as much as possible. Which we didn't do for Cam and he got injured. But Kansas City invested a lot of resources into protecting Mahomes and he still ended up with a high ankle sprain this postseason. A lot of this is just pure, dumb luck.

I know some of you guys are on that Corral train for some reason but it is very, very, VERY unlikely that will pan out. There just isn't a lot of historic precedence for it and overall not much of that class did much to change the opinion about it being very low quality for QB. I don't think anyone(Reich included) is operating under the assumption that he is the answer for our QB situation. Rather he is just a standard potential developmental backup QB. Perhaps he pans out, perhaps he doesn't. Not really a situation that will have much impact on us in the future. Not any more than say, Will Grier did.

Yeah, we are really going to have to pitch that there is a plan to fix the QB. I wouldn't blame any defensive coach for being skeptical of our situation.

TBH, I would just prefer not to gamble in the top 10. But I will trust the new head coach to try and develop whomever we end up with. I just hope we just aren't continuing this very Cleveland Browns-esque QB journey in three years.

I do think those are two of the most irrelevant factors that fans value highly. It matters how you play the position and how capable you are of playing the position. In that regard, both Levis and Richardson seem to be severely lacking. Physical abilities through the roof but incredibly minute intangibles.
