Not technically just Mac Jones pro day though. It's Alabama's pro day.

May not be the GM or head coach, but I have a hard time believing we don't have somebody there for that.

Surtain, Dickerson, Barmore, Leatherwood are specific players we should be there to watch

I don't think it's been confirmed that they're not there.

It just hasn't been confirmed that they are there.

Certainly hope they are...like I said, weird.

That said, wonder if they are overthinking it...."If we aren't there to see Mac, maybe nobody will think we are interested".

LOL.

I think Mac Jones is very alive at 8 probably the most smartest and accurate QB in this draft he could be the one we target since right after the pro bowl rhule came out and said we weren’t interested in him what better way to start the game of the draft.

Saw Jones workout.   Just like I thought.. Good on short and intermediate throws.  But the arm strength thing is a problem.. WR slowing up to catch the deep ball one fell down reaching a deep pass under thrown.. Players can look real smart throwing against air with planned routes... Looks okay coming from out of center thoe.  Not so good athletically...  Came away seeing what I thought I would see.  Average QB talent with no WOW potential.. Might as well keep Teddy if we're drafting him..

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
