Jamie Newman Turning Heads

[slumdogmillionaire]

I still don’t understand why Newman opted out....he could have played himself into a first round pick this year.

 I was listening to WFNZ and Bailey and his cohost were talking about scouts are saying he’s looking really good and would be interesting pick later in the draft and reminded people of Dak in Senior Bowl practices.   He has all the tools with mobility, smarts, personality, and an arm.   
 

If we don’t trade for Watson or Stafford and the draft doesn’t fall right for a QB in the first round I wouldn’t mind taking a chance on him and see what our coaches can do with him....grab a stud at 8 and then Newman later rather than Mac Jones at 8.  How fall will he fall?  Can we get him in the 3rd or 4th?

I honestly want Newman if we miss out on the Big-4. I could see us drafting him in the 3rd, or if he really shines at the Sr. Bowl & his pro day, we make a move like we did for Chinn last year.

I believe Newman is the 4th best QB in this draft. He def fits the Fitterer MO too.

You have Lance in your avatar. Lawrence is by far the best QB in this Draft.

Who do you hate out of Fields and Wilson?

If Newman have a good senior bowl, won't any team jump on him in the second? 

Weren't he considered to be a potential first rounder at one point? 

Alot of teams need a QB who might not get their first choice in free agency or in the first round.

Not a big fan at all but it'd be better to get Newman than no one at QB... I will be irate if we roll with Teddy and Grier/PJ (or similar caliber back ups with no ceiling).

I’m getting vet qb and drafting newman

I kinda love this. Big, mobile, with a great arm and actually great throwing mechanics.  2nd or 3rd round? Come TF on down!

If we land Stafford I wouldn't mind us getting him to sit a couple of years.

He doesnt have great mechanics, he does have a strong arm but is inconsistent at times and stares down his receivers too much.  He is a project in every sense of the word.  If the staff feels like he can contribute after sitting a year then so be it but from what I watched at Wake he needs a lot of work.

If he looks the part, a team may try to snag him late in the 1st. If we get a stud LT at 8, we would be wise to use our 2nd on Newman. I don’t think he makes it into the 3rd if he looks good....

The more options the better at QB. I don't care about the 'experts' value charts, if you see a potential franchise QB you either pull that trigger or suffer. If this guy is this good, I don't see how he makes it out of the first.

Not unlike the draft profile of Josh Allen right? I know his arm isn’t as strong as Allen’s, but it’s legit. He has the physical tools to be a great QB, I’d love to see how Rhule and Brady can develop him.

What do you mean "this good"?  Its been 2 practices.

Ditto on a qb working with our staff in developing them but I think Allen is the exception not the rule.  I just think JN is the ultimate project with a ton of flaws in his game.  Big arm sure, but his accuracy and decision making need a lot of fine tuning.  His game against Clemson last year really put things in perspective for me about him.
