Trey Lance will realistically be within reach

I’ve said it a couple times already but if we draft him I’d sit him for a season or two, let teddy play out his contract and mentor, build up the oline and give him a chance to work on the finer points of the qb position. In everything I’ve watched he rarely had to throw the ball into tight windows because he literally never had to. NDSU is just too dominant in that division. 

His arm is crazy. Throws 50 yard tds effortlessly and can run and scramble and throw the ball from different angles but he needs nfl coaching in practices and preseason games until we put him out there. I wouldn’t rush him.

I doubt it. The only reason a few people are saying this is because of the conference and relatively small, albeit extremely successful body of work.

And the previous QBs to come out from that conference and competition level: Carson Wentz and Josh Allen. This is the first real good job Allen as done and Wentz already looks like his NFL career as a starter might not be much longer. But he also helped Philly win a Super Bowl and looked like an MVP. 
 

Boom or bust.

He is remiscent of a prime Rodgers/Mcholmes/Luck.... this guy has a very high ceiling.

All these QBs are boom or bust.  Except maybe Manning.  Lance may be worth a shot but will need to see him go through the predraft process.

Lance as a top 10 pick right now seems really expensive.  Reminds me of Jordan Love without all the ints.

Agree with RumGones comments he is definitely going to need lots of time to develop.

One guy I am keeping an eye on this Kyle Trask at Florida.  He looked incredible average early last year but he is ascending.  Not flashy but solid and accurate.  Wouldn’t mind the Florida TE either.  Pitts can play.

Gator fan here. Pitts should be the first TE off the board. Just an absolute stud. Kyle has been what we’ve been missing in Florida for years. A guy who can complete passes and not kill us every week. He should be a day 2 kid as of now but he could also blossom in his final year. He never started in high school.

    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
    • That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
