Rank the 2022 QB Draft Class

[*FreeFua*]

Put them in order 1-5 and then say which guys you’d be comfortable spending a top 10 pick on

Malik Willis, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell, Kenny Pickett, Matt Corral, Carson Strong

None of them are a a top 10 pick but someone will reach for one. I don’t think but maybe 2 go in the first rd that’s how bad qb class is. Also we better not be one of them, we better be fixing oline.

Pretty much our only option is to trade down, pick QB with the first pick and oline with the rest.

It’s terrible we have to trade down just to try and get picks back from a horrendous trade. These decisions by owner, gm, and coach have really set us back for awhile.

If a team is trading up to 6 or 7 the the chances are pretty high that team is choosing a qb.

 Kenney Picket and Matt Coral are the clear number one and number two right now with Sam Howell, Desmond Ridder, Malik Willis, and Carson Strong all have solid arguments for the number 3 spot. Of course, all these rankings are subject to change as we move deeper into draft and scouting season.

yep, its insanity to think we are going to make another bad trade to try and make up for the original bad trade.  Both my brain and my gut are screaming at me that no team is going to give us fair value for pick 6/7.   If it happens I can see Pitt moving up from the mid teens and giving us their 2nd and next years first.  Thats not worth it IMO

Ridder is our guy. He can make all the throws

I’d take that trade if Matt gets another year. A new staff with two first rounders in 2023 would be awesome.

If rhule is fired and we get real nfl coaching I’d take Malik. If rhule is here I’d rather they trade down and pick oline. If we’re in the midteens with a trade down, run to the podium for that center from Iowa. I’m gonna guess rhule isn’t gonna make it after year 3 so let the new staff draft a qb.

Thats not enough and Pitt tends to always pick mid late first

 

The value of a top 10 (6ish) is very steep

If they threw in an extra 4th, I'd take that. Draft a QB in the middle of round 1 then take Offensive Line in rounds 2-5. I think Darnold is a likeable guy and I still think he has potential, but we can absolutely not go into next year with just him and PJ again. We needed to have someone we can turn to if and when Sam starts to fall off a cliff again.

I have a feeling we’re gonna be picking top ten again next year. So a top ten pick plus a mid round first would be great with a new staff imo. I get it though.

Sam sucks. He’s never going to be the long term answer. If rhule is here next year I hope he starts Sam again because he will fail spectacularly. Darnold is the worst starting qb with clean pockets over the past 4 years.
