But if they didn't play for a team you like then it doesn't count!

At this point I just don't know what our brain trust likes or thinks. Hopefully one of those guys will be available.

It has been weird to me how so many are criticizing Fields for not being able to go past his first read when that's all I saw from Mac Jones. In the games I watched, seems like he never made it past his first read 90% of the time. Then again, when your 1st read is often the Heisman winning WR, well...

PFF grade on throws past 1st read since 2019: (min. 60 attempts)

1st - Justin Fields - 90.6
2nd - Zach Wilson - 90.1
3rd - Trey Lance - 87.2
...
7th - Trevor Lawrence - 78.6
8th - Mac Jones - 75.7

 

As always with PFF, their grades are awful - just a bunch of blokes in their basements watching tape and guessing.

well, it is true that the recent hot takes about Justin Fields have been fictional and bogus.   The only a one read QB stuff.    That is the clearly people just repeating the same false narrative.  Watching his games easily disproves that part. 

Trevor Lawrence does throw to his first read as much as anyone being discussed.   Just a fact.  Doesn't mean he can't read a D.  Clemson O by design inflates that number. 

PFF will always suffer because of not actually knowing the playcall.    And not knowing that messes the ability to grade certain plays correctly.  But they get a lot of things right.

Just out of curiosity, did they somehow factor in how many times that first look was just to look off a defender?

It's an interesting statistical glance, but considering the crop of players they were working with, both Lawrence and Jones had receivers so above their competition that second reads weren't as necessary possibly.

In the end, stats give evidence, but they can't give any proof when it comes to this. So many moving pieces in the college game, and it only becomes so much more complex at the pro level. The worst thing for all of these top picks is that most of them are going to really bad teams, with really, really bad coaching staffs and they will be facing the toughest competition in their lives. 

There will be a couple of really good QBs that will be destroyed by bad coaching and bad protection before this is done who could have been super stars had they ended up on a better team. There's actually a chance we could be one of those terrible destinations right now.

If you hit your first read at almost 80 percent of the time that is a good thing.  This is really overblown in Fields case IMO.

But that's not going to happen when your team isn't head and shoulders above the opponent talent wise.

It's too bad QB's like Lance, Fields and Mond are so lazy while Lawrence, Wilson, Jones and Davis are such hard working good kids.

That will get you put in the Tinderbox.  I shared a similar article that also showed fields’ offensive plays and where his reads were...now in Tinderbox

      So we can expect six QBs taken in the top 12 from here on out each draft?  Wanna wager that won't happen next year?

      Excellent.  I think BC is also the emergency 3rd string swing T, but maybe he needs to focus on C considering Corbett could be gone by 2025. The only people I have seen concerned about center are the experts and fans--they seem to be content here, but they did sign a C in UDFA.  I think they view Corbett as a seasoned veteran who has the ability to function as a C.  In fact, his college coach felt that is where he'd play in the NFL...I dunno.  I think Willie Drew (UDFA) could surprise you and take a CB spot.  Probably has a 30% chance.  Jamison almost made the Niner's roster in 2022, and he was decent here.  He is only 24-25 years old, so with Drew, we have depth.  Jamison should compete with Hill for the Nickel duties, and maybe Drew could play behind Horn and Smith-Wade to be the big nickel.  With the way nickel is used, we could carry 6 CBs.  Dane will start across from Horn and Hill as the nickel.  His spot is not secured.  I wonder if we keep Jammie Robinson on the roster--but you went with probabilities here, as you should.   Thurman (DT) played surprisingly well last season and he should stay a backup.  Tuttle may need to be moved to DE-I don't know.  I use PFF not because it is an exact science--it is somewhat subjective and misleading at times--but it is the most accurate attempt to evaluate performance available to us.  I think Ray is 26, so he should be performing at a higher level--he is basically in the bottom third, along with Shy Tuttle.  At OLB, Barno outperformed DJ Johnson but got fewer snaps.  Both should be safe this year, behind Wonnum and Clowney.  Leota played in 8 games and was on nearly half of the special teams plays, but he got snaps at Edge as well, earning an impressive rating in limited play.  He may be back on the PS at the beginning of the season, but he held the edge better than anyone else, imo.  I have no idea what to think about Chaisson, but after 3 seasons, it is time to perform at a high level or get out of football.  If he performs, the former first rounder COULD team with Wonnum, Barno, Johnson, and Leota to be a decent edge group.   2023 PFF Grades - Defense POS Player Grade POS Rank Snaps % Snaps DI Derrick Brown 90.1 4th of 130 940 89% DI Nick Thurman 63.4 48th of 130 367 35% DI LaBryan Ray 54.6 84th of 130 355 34% DI Shy Tuttle 52.9 91st of 130 549 52% Edge Amari Barno 64.0 NA 188 20% Edge Eku Leota 65.6 NA 77 15%             Edge DJ Johnson 50.4 NA 231 22%                         CB Dane Jackson 64.5 NA xxx 50% CB Jaycee Horn 84.1 NA 276 26%             CB Troy Hill 62.4 73rd of 127 494 47%             S Xavier Woods 80.3 12th of 95 796 75%             S Sam Franklin 58.0 NA 289 27%

      Coach killer. If Bryce at least showed drive, a temper your friends were afraid of… someone may take a flier on him.  If it’s last year’s Bryce part 2, then arena league it is.
