Please add thoughts about the best player in the draft.  Jesus...it is like this guy was perfect in the best league in college football.  He went to the natty and won it from behind.  Damn,  if he is Peyton Manning or better he is worth all picks for us?  His film is ridiculous.

But is it the player or the system?? He wasn't that player the year before..

I mean, you can honestly make a very compelling argument that he had the best single year in college football ever.

Everyone wants to put it all on the system, but then...

That's what impresses me about Burrow. He keeps his head about him and while he may not have Brett Favre's arm, the guy seems to be able to deliver the ball the same no matter what whether he's set in the pocket and able to step up or running for his life throwing back across his body like you're not supposed to ever do. I mean, that's a 40 yard throw across his body while on the run. I don't want to hear that this guy doesn't have an arm.

OL actually did a good job.  There was really one guy pressuring him but looks like two then he threw in almost triple coverage.  Safety was completely lost and another CB never turned his head around.

Did it work or not? The difference between an elite franchise QB and a JAG is the ability to make the plays you're not supposed to be able to make. You don't coach guys to make the types of plays that Cam made in his prime, that Aaron Rodgers makes, that Patrick Mahomes makes. You either can or you can't.

If this QB is Peyton Manning he is worth our draft.  Just don't want him to die in Cincy.

He had a very solid team around him which helped him and his success.  Will be different story in Cincy.  That OL blows.

I'm not convinced he goes to Cincy. I think they might Eli their way outta there. That organization has zero desire to field a winning team and they'd just drafting them to ride his hype for a little while.

I added my previous comment.  I have seen other college QBs make amazing plays in college just took come to NFL and fall flat.  I’m not saying he will be bad QB in NFL, I just don’t think he will be Manning like.

Peyton manning was Peyton manning  all thur college not just 1 season...

How can we blame the player for being a one year guy when he was only in that system one year? The previous offense that LSU was running would've had John "a punt is not a bad play" Fox begging for a little more offensive aggression.

If the over/under is Peyton Manning, yeah I'll take the under.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
