From what I understand, he knows the game inside and out, loves the game, loves being in the building, but doesn't have the necessary tools to be a top flight QB in the league from a physical standpoint.

Maybe a Tom Brady type prospect that goes much higher than the 6th obviously?

Again, just from what I'm gathering...I could be totally wrong.

This.  To me, his arm strength is his biggest issue.  Watching him this year, it seems comparable to Kyle Allen's.  So, in a clean pocket where he can set his feet and maintain technique, he can be very good.  But when the pocket breaks down, he doesn't have the strength to make a play with his arm alone if he can't get set.

But he does have a very high football IQ.

Would a good comparison be a smaller Alex Smith?

Smart, doesn't make mistakes but physical limitations prevent him from being top tier QB with potential to be very good?

Don't even think that he has a Smith arm coming out to be honest.

I wouldn’t want to go WR until at least the 4th round..WR Antonio Gandy Golden from Liberty would be a nice mid-late round pickup. I would we focus on both sides of the line this draft with first couple picks. My preference would be:

1) DT

2) OG/C

3) NT/DT

4) WR

What does your friend think of the OT from Louisville? 

Curious to what he thinks of Wirfs (one of my favorite OTs)

 

His guy seemed pretty high and keyed on Daniel Jones.  Which after the draft it seemed the Giants were about on the same level as his guy (cough cough, dont know if his guy is with the Giants)

 

I saw the other day the Giants (Scouts and Gettleman) are super high on Wirfs and have read "sources" say the Giants may even consider him at 4

Thoughts on Fromm? I personally like him over Herbert but I've been very very wrong before. 

I like Fromm, but he certainly doesn't have the ceiling the guys I mentioned do. He could go early in the 2nd though if someone liked him enough.

We need an opinion on Herbert...what up Verge?

I love Herbert, I think he is right there with Tua and Burrow. His offensive scheme held him back, I don't mind an introverted QB at all, it's a none issue.

    • I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible. 
    • Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.   
    • Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
