I honestly don’t see the point in drafting a QB who isn’t exactly what we want. If you’re just going to draft Pickett because he’s more ready, does he have more potential than a FA QB? Then, skip him. I’m not really big on Willis either. If we find an LT, I say we trade the pick for a later one and add another 1st round in 2023.

But we don't know what the Panthers want. None of us do. I want Pickett. I think we should take our shot now when we should have the chance because I feel he could be our guy but what the Panthers think is anyone's guess right now.

He's the most pro ready QB in this draft by a long shot. Check out his draft profile and scouting reports. Him with a new found potentially above average oline, a  good receiving group, and a respectable defense on the other side of the ball? Sign me up.

Malik Willis has an awesome arm but is much more of a developmental product. Pickett improved greatly from '20 to '21 and did it against much better competition than Willis. Do you trust us to develop him? Lol

This is exactly how the Browns ended up with Baker Mayfield and now a rapist, over Josh Allen.

 

Edit: and Jets with Darnold.

Do wut now?

He isn’t wrong. Some coaches like Reid do because it’s their specialty, but Bill in NE had nothing to do with Mac Jones’s development. OCs and QB coaches get the most 1 on 1 time with the QB. Herbert’s development was more Pep Hamilton than his head coach. Most head coaches aren’t the ones developing players, especially QBs.

Macado yes he’s on charge of the offense I’m trust him based on his experiences coaching the way he rated the Mahomes class along with Jallen. He’s going for development of Willis I’d think and the main thing we need is a solid Oline with Armstead we’d say we have that.

I don't need to check out his draft profile. I watched him play a lot of games. He was just a guy who's the same age as most second or third year NFL players playing on a pretty good veteran college team. He was literally a man vs. boys. He'll look like he did earlier on his college career when he's playing against fellow men.

I didn’t ask your opinion. But if someone in a NFL front office thinks you draft a project in the top 10 they need to be fired immediately.

 

Doc I don’t know about that Josh was a similar project and now they have a top elite tier qb for let’s say 7-10 years and they traded up from 12 to 7 to do so giving up more then we would. Looking back honestly you’d have to say it was easily worth it. You have to be able to develop them into what you expect a top tier performer but once you do bingo set at the most important position on the team.

None of you have a clue how this years qb class will turn out.  Could be as bad as you think, or there could be a couple of hall of famers in it.   Or something in between.  Last year's qb class was supposed to be a great one, and so far only Jones and Mills have looked decent to good.  That could change of course, but so far, they have been meh.

Allen wasn’t a project. He went  7 and started 10+ games the year he was drafted.

people are talking about sitting Willis for a year to develop. You don’t draft projects in the top 10.

      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
