Ranking the prospects of the last five years.


Verge

Recommended Posts

I thought it would be an interesting discussion on how you ranked the prospects of the last 5 years against this year and past. Post how you had the prospects here. Be honest or else it isn't fun :D

 

Here is what I have for qbs

 

1. Andrew Luck
2. Teddy Bridgewater
3. Cam Newton
4. Jameis Winston
5. Sam Bradford
6. Ryan Tannehill 
7. Blake Bortles
8. Matthew Stafford
9. Mark Sanchez
10. Robert Griffin III

All I can do is laugh.

 

I thought Baylor was a place were qbs could succeed based on the offensive system, I thought he had trouble with the mid-field balls, I though he had trouble staying inside a clean pocket among other things. I thought RGIII was easily the best deep ball thrower, however, I had watched enough to realize he was chucking it to wide open wide receivers and a lot of the production came from that. He seemed like a good project, but not a guy who could carry a team without a system around him, a system that would be quickly figured out in the nfl.

 

Tannehill on the other hand seemed to adjust super well to being a qb, and being a wr beforehand had helped him out with timing and being able to manipulate a s/db. I thought he ran a pro-style offense with excellent results and developed as the year went along. He went through progressions, did not rely on athleticism but rather allowed it to compliment his game. He seemed like a franchise qb after 2-3 years and had better understanding of the game. 

 

At this point, was I really wrong? =/

Yea I also thought RG3 was overhyped. Running a fast 40 is meaningless. The bigger surprise than RG3 at #10 is Bridgewater at 2. My list, in terms of prospects, would be Luck, Winston, Cam, then the rest.

 

I touted Bridgewater as an amazing qb prospect ever since he came out, it was never really close, I liked him almost as much as Luck. Obviously the pro day and size dinged him, but I am pretty certain he will prove people wrong.

    • I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs
    • I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6
    • Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
