Because you can't win without a QB.  Cam couldn't make it the season last year.  This gives us the ability to pull him immediately and put a guy in there who can still lead us to the playoffs.  At worst, he'll be the backup for a few years.  Today was all about Cam.

If Cam gets injured the seasons over, stop acting like Grier is some bonafide sure thing. Theres a reason he went late 3rd as a QB. This is a shot in the dark at replacing newton.

I wanted a Safety or DT but I understand the pick of QB. If Cam doesn't come back we start at least grooming a potential future starter. Or it's a better back up which could also have Allen as the 3rd QB (I see them keeping 3 QB's this year). If Cam turns out good and plays into a another big contract, he is either a solid back up or trade bait in a couple of years. Didn't care for the timing of the pick but I understand it.

Ben was in his 30s, Hundley was a 5th round pick and Eli is washed  in his 30s and the giants are not a team to model yourself after.

 

 

And Cam has shoulder issues with no backup option at QB.  30s and healthy vs 29 and injured, come on

I don't doubt that at all. He's nobody. He's Jesse Palmer. A "celebrity" in a world where people are famous for being famous, not because they did something or have a talent.

We drafted a Kardashian. The analysts even said it had more to do with the recievers.

lol what an awful post

Touchdown Jesus gotta be better than Clipboard Jesus so we got that going for us.

but big picture this isn’t bad.  We need to groom young talent and we need talent given Cam’s shoulder.  

Cam is still the man but I feel good with Grier and Allen at backup

for those freaking out? Keep in mind I am not sure Cam even is throwing right now.  He could throw last season.  He might need a Luck year or he could never come back right or he could be MVP Cam.   But addressing QB depth is something any responsible franchise would do

If Cam really does have shoulder issues you don’t draft a filler third rounder 

If?  It’s not a question that he has issues.  The unknown of whether it will impact him in the short term and long term is why you get a guy like Grier to let Norv develop and have ready in case you need him.  Best case scenario is you don’t need him at all, worst case you have a capable guy to step in and help win a game.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
