Sorry but taking the 4th QB of the draft at pick 8 is terrible no matter what the QB talent is, especially one with throwing flaws like Fields who I think is closer to Jalen Hurts than anyone else

If Sam sucks we'll be in a good position to take a QB high next year

I really wanna see all these throwing flaws you speak of i really do . How somebody with crazy amount of throwing flaws  didn’t throw a crazy amount of ints while he was in college ? Fields gonna make a lot of people look stupid for passing him up .

Having a top flight Oline like OSU had, can hide a lot of flaws. That hitch in his throwing motion won't go over in the NFL. He won't have the time he had in college.

. Hence, teams got a little leery about him.

If Philip rivers can make it with his throwing motion anyone can i think that’s lazy if you don’t take someone cause there throwing motion don’t fit you. A small part of the reason  Aaron Rodgers fell in his draft and he fixed it . Throwing motions can be worked out and his isn’t even that bad it’s flick of a wrist with a slight quark

Gotta give you Rivers. But just watch Fields motion. It has a hitch in it. It adds almost a half a second to his time. Trevor, and Wilson were at .4 seconds. Jones, and Trey were at .5. Fields was at .8.

 

That doesn't seem like much, but it can be the difference between a clean throw, and one under duress. 

 

Seems piddily, but hey, he fell.

Your point is valid i just don’t see it being a huge problem i don’t love his motion either it has to grow on me  but man he has crazy arm talent that i think is being over looked he haven’t even peaked yet he still learning the position . And passing him up to  Bank on darnold is silly and will cost a lot of jobs if it turn into teddy round 2

The one thing I dont know but I feel certain is Pitts was our first choice and Sewell second which is who I preferred. And I really thought Detroit was gonna be the first team to take a defensive player and not us. But the definite is we picked our top rated defensive player on our board.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
