What we payed for Darnold is a lot better than if we took Fields at 8 

We don't know that.   Sam was prepped to start all camp and is a 4 year vet. 

Chicago prepped Dalton all camp and then threw Fields into a Dalton offense as rookie. 

Gotta give Fields a little time.   We have seen lots of rookies be disaters out of the gate and get settled in.  Fields might end up sucking.  Way too early to chalk passing on him or Mac as good moves though.

Why are you sh*tting on my post? He is on some Daniel Snyder type stuff. And Sam Darnold ain't getting past his slow release, his slow progressions, or his lack of accuracy if he hasn't as a soon to be four year starter. And if Gardner Minshew was your first option what the hell do you want in a QB other than mediocrity?

Before you poo on Minshew, you might want to look a little closer.

Yes, the Jags were 7-25 over the last two seasons, the two where Minshew was on the roster.  Minshew was 7-13.  While that record isn't wonderful, what it does say is that WITHOUT him the Jags didn't win a single game.

His stats look fine.  On his career, he's at 63% overall completions.  He made a huge jump from his rookie season to his second season, going from 60% to 66%.  His TD% looks good at 4.5%, on par with Derek Carr.  His INT% even better at 1.4%, on par with Aaron Rodgers.

All of this while on a Jacksonville team that was, believe it or not, even worse than ours.

Honestly, I would have much rather had Minshew and someone like Brissett in here than what we have.  But that's just me.

And Fields will cost less for 4 seasons than Darnold will for this one.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be.

      Panthers are at an extremely pivotal point

      Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
