If I'm JB, I want to make Sam a superstar. That will guarantee me a HC position next year. So give me weapons to show off my offensive genius. 

I agree, But if I'm JB- I want a quality LT. I am praying every night that Sewell falls to #8. I am also pushing to shore up the holes we have on Defense. Any smart offensive coach knows its easier win games when you don't have to score a tons of points every outing.

best way to help a young qb is to give them a decent check down target.  Pitts would give Brady something he doesnt have.  the 2nd/3rd is filled with OT/OG to choose from.

I wouldn't call Pitts a check down target, but there is no doubt he would help Darnold and the team. IMO though, Sewell is the option (if I'm TB). There are TE's that can taken later too that may have check down potential. The debate on this is probably moot, since neither are likely to be there at 8.

Yea CMC is the check down target. Pitts would be the #2

LT for sure, unless he’s not sold on Darnold, then it’d be whatever QB he likes best.

Yeah.  We have weapons and would’ve won more games last year with better QB play.  Teddy only started 4 of our wins.  So get an LT and pray that Sam is decent, or at least better than Teddy.

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think evaluating QBs making the transition to the NFL is just a lot harder and more nuanced than draftniks make it out to be. That and the rookie wage scale means that if you don't have a franchise QB on the roster and you think this guy might be one you're almost forced to draft him now that you're protected from giving that guy a future HOFer type contract before he ever plays an NFL down. The expectation for mist of these guys to play right away is also not helping IMO.

      Plenty of good teams made it to Super Bowls and some even won with meh QBs. Takes solid defense, good offensive planning and play calling and a helluva lot of magic. And I think the great QB elevating a team thing is overplayed too much. History just doesn't bear it out. Sure, it can lift a moderately good team like Mahomes did with the Chiefs, or Hurts did with the Eagles. And one can argue about Brady and the Pats (or even Bucs) but if you look at those Patriot and Buccaneer teams... there was something very solid in place already.  Heck, the whole idea that a single player can make or break an NFL team is vastly overplayed. The Cowboys have had a roster full of "star" players for decades now and have gotten bupkus in return. The Raiders have chased everything they could and have floundered mightily. The Giants have had star after star and nothing.  It's just hard to sell posters of a team. Give the marketing people a star though...

      Seems you found the "exception" to the OP. Eli wasn't actually drafted by the Giants. But that's the only team he ever played for since he refused to go to San Diego.
