Good. If there isn't some back and forth during the draft then you probably have an environment of a bunch of useless yes men.

Say what? Favre was a 2nd round pick in Atlanta who the head coach absolutely did not want. He threw a total of four passes in his one season as a Falcon and was then traded for a 1st round pick to the Packers where he failed his physical due to a degenerative hip condition that Packers doctors thought would prematurely end his career but Packers brass didn't give AF a overruled them because they wanted him THAT bad.

Darnold has probably been the worst QB in the NFL over the past three seasons. I think it's gonna take a little more than just learning the playbook. We aren't exactly just plugging in Aaron Rodgers.

That, plus genetics are real

Of course it does. Almost every draft bust ends up getting a shot somewhere else before their career ultimately fizzles out, especially 1st round QBs. It just seems rare because the success rate is so abysmally low.

I wish he'd asked a follow up question here about the hit rate on bust reclamation projects. This comment definitely gives some legs to my earlier speculation that this staff might just be scared of rookie QBs.

My Eagles fan buddy hates Howie Roseman with about the same intensity I hated Hurney. That's intense.

If you were moving my office to SC, I'd resign too.

Now if that happens then all bets are off.

Von Miller hasn't looked like Von Miller in awhile. I think he's done as a top tier edge rusher. Still a nice player to have, but no longer the cornerstone of a defense.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that. This isn't 2015 anymore. Denver's defense is pretty run of the mill. You're not hanging with Mahomes and that howitzer of an offense in KC with Teddy and his pop gun.

Hey, works for me as a Heels fan! But I just don't see it. He was missing his #1 WR and both RBs in the bowl game against the #1 D in the SEC facing a team with zero opt-outs looking to prove they were snubbed from the playoffs and he still looked like Sam Howell. Even at the NFL level, you just don't see many guys who can throw the deep ball like he can.

5 QBs in the top 15? Nah. No way. Next year's class is Howell and Rattler then a massive drop off absent someone making a Burrow-esque rise.

We thought Jarrett was more awesome since he was our first pick in the 2nd. Either way, we didn't get a chance to draft Beck. He was already off the board. He would've been a typical Hurney 2nd rounder. At least he was a helluva nice guy.

If he was going to be the pick and then we were going to trade back up for Marshall, then why did Marshall ultimately end up being the pick? That doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, Dwayne Jarrett was awesome.

Wow. That's crazy. My house is in the South Mountains about 25 minutes from the park. Hell, it's a pretty obscure little state park. I'm surprised he even knew about it. Back in the day I was really hoping we were gonna draft BYU QB Jon Beck. He's a big trout fishermen and we had an agreement that I was gonna take him out to some of the NC's best spots (that I'd already warned him we're gonna suck vs. everything out west). I didn't think he was serious until he called me out of the blue a few weeks after Miami drafted him to apologize for the Dolphins screwing up our plans. LOL!

Honestly, not excited about the Horn pick but overall it looks pretty damn good. Like last year, so much hinges on an uninspiring move at QB working out.

Well, if it's all already been poached then I'll definitely pass on this guy.

Give me Dan Morgan, please. God, I loved that guy as a player. Absolute wrecking ball of a LB. That's pretty much what prematurely ended his career too, but like a wild brawling fighter with no pretense of defensive responsibility, you know it's not gonna last but sure is fun to watch for as long as it does.

LOL! That's quality.

Probably headed to Washington or Buffalo like everyone else.

I'll take undersized with ideal athleticism all day everyday over the guy who everyone drools over his Inspector Gadget arms but who can't actually move.

Sounds like he has a ton of potential? Wonder why he dropped? Here's to hoping he pans out.

Probably. But we signed Erving to compete at LT first and foremost. He's going to have to get best out there to end up playing somewhere else.
