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.

      An Offensive Tackle for the Long Term, but....

      Brother you've been WR driven for going on almost two decades now.  No need for us to discuss further.

      First, apologies @MHS831, I know you began this about tackles, and it was good. But... Frank, your post is just another Bryce sucks post. You obviously believe, like your buddy, that if we draft a WR it's all about evaluating Bryce Young or coddling Bryce Young. In short, it would be about improving the damned team. If anything, if Bryce is as destined to fail (or is already a failure right now... irredeemable), then another playmaker at WR would just seal the envelope and send him on his way. In my world, that's a good thing.  If some of you think that Bryce is a lame duck, then why wouldn't you want to set the offense up for the next QB to come in and be dropped into the offense to have success? Or, maybe you think it's all a moot point anyway because Tepper sucks, Dan Morgan sucks, Canales sucks, Ejiro sucks, Brandt Tilis sucks---everybidy sucks! If that's the case, then why does anyone care who or what we draft? Obviously some of you have all the answers and can run a gotdamn franchise better than the FO does now.

      Yeah man, idk. I’m not super big on looking at the position group overall and damning the group. I’ll do the same with less words for WR. I think Proctor is the ultimate fit because he could be your future left or right tackle or left or right guard. Guys a starter, how much Zavala, Christensen, Curhan, and Corbett did we see last year again? Mauigoa will not be there when we pick, but you take him for the same reason you take Proctor minus maybe the LT. Freeling *could* be an upgrade at LT for the future. You don’t take Miller or Iheanahor because the position flexibility isn’t there, likely RT only guys. Those Utah guys are light in the ass, don’t want. Now I do WR. All extremely unproductive when compared to previous Round 1 WR. Tate- Gone Lemon- Complete player, not a burner, would take at 19 Tyson- Made of glass, Colorado washout  Cooper- Not the best hands. Like 300 of his yards were lucky ass stumble blooper looking poo. Bernard gives you similar but better in the 2nd. KC- Slaps then catches the ball. Lightning fast for about 20 yards. Good return man. poo QBs probably more to unlock. Would take at 19 if Proctor, Freeling, Lemon were gone. Washington guy- Lumbers, the smoothness Canales hyped for TMac, not there with him. We need a different style player.
