2022 QB draft Class..


WOW!!
 Share

Recommended Posts

Look thru the video objectively.. And Yes I know all are just highlights and not all 22's.. But under these criteria who would you truly feel you can build a franchise around??

1. Arm talent- making NFL throws ..

2. Running a pro style offense- coming in with a better perception of NFL offenses..

3. Athleticism- ability to work a pocket scramble and make off scripted plays... Run RPO's and add another level to the offense..

4. Ability to make NFL reads and pre snap adjustments..

5. Who can get into a shootout and hold his own...

Now the intangibles (leadership, speed, measurements, work ethic) we won't know until later in the draft prospects if at all..

I'll put all best season..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only put QB ranked to go in top 4 rounds...

All of these guys seem to stare down their #1 option, but Highlights are generally plays were you get that read and its successful. I have always thought Pickett seemed the most NFL ready. Besides him I like Zappe in the later rounds. Ridder to me is the most interesting as far as upside. He seems to run away from people. Willis while a good athlete, doesn't seem to do that to people even playing against Liberty's schedule, so his athleticism may not be as NFL ready as some of the others. Strong has great deep ball but i've seen too many games where his decision-making and intermediate game haven't been on point. Matt Corral to me seems to be a kid who has all the ability, and can sometimes make great decisions, but not with any real consistency. Corral did make plays against SEC defenses, however, which to me is something to be considered. Howell is tough for me to analyze because I'm a homer. He has obvious talent but too many times I've watched him fail to make meaningful plays when games were on the line. I like him and his talent but that worries me. The other kid from Iowa St. I literally know nothing about and so can't accurately judge him besides to say his highlights were great (like all of the other kids highlights).

Corral has the best arm talent. Strong and Willis might have a slightly stronger arm but they can’t make the throws at the angles or on the run Corral can. I also Corral has the best natural throwing motion with the quickest release.

 

None of these guys run a pro style offense.

NFL ready .. Corral and Pickett

Which is a step up from Darnold and any other QB we've had in the last 4 years... So that's not really a negative. 

Yeah but there are level above Sam Darnold and avg. NFL starters.. And those are the ones you draft in the top 10 and build around..

Sucks to be in a lame duck situation because if he does pick a QB and they suck ass and gets fired, next HC doesn't have an obligation to keep him. Meaning they have wasted ANOTHER pick on a QB. This is why I wanted Rhule gone already, he's delaying the inevitable. It's a catch 22.

Howell’s deep ball is getting overlooked. The man can launch it down field pretty well. Unfortunately our line won’t allow him to do so… It all depends on where they go. The Broncos have a decent team set up for quick success depending on who they hire as coach. The one I think could do the best with our team/coach is probably Howell. Willis needs a year (like the Niners did with Lance), Strong needs a pocket, and Corral would get hurt. Howell has had success with a shifty OL and not good coaching. I’m not a UNC guy (Auburn fan), but I think Howell might be the best fit with what we have. If we had to draft one, a trade down and snagging Howell in the middle of the 1st would be the best case IMO.

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
