Agree…I watched his highlight videos and was like damn he can drop the ball in the bucket from 60 yards with ease.  I watch a game of his touches and he missed some wide open TDs badly.  My knock on him is probably that I really don’t know if he is dedicated to getting really dialed in and perfecting his game.  

Pickett is clearly the most refined guy at this point.  Again though…not a huge upside but he is a good athlete.  Good arm and had far and away the best season last year.  

Of course, Blaine Gabbert looked good his last year in college too and couldn’t take the next step up.  

We're probably looking at a quality career backup in Pickett, Gamble with Willis, and an often injured Mayfield/Heinicke journeyman type in Corral

Possible…the fact that people can’t agree on the top guy is telling.  The guy that hits is probably given time and goes to a great situation.  Like every draft

It’s funny how I thought we had a terrible situation months ago, but with our OL coach, McAdoo, and our FA pickups I feel we are a solid place for a rookie QB. Not top tier, but no longer the bottom.

Hard to say--I am not sure, based on the available perspective personnel, that filling the QB position can be done with an available veteran or a rookie--so maybe the plan is for both?

That still does not leave room for LT, which makes me think that it is possible they will go with BC if they cannot get a veteran cheap.

Pickett is better then a back up but he just doesnt have the "it" factor do make a deep run.  He will win a lot of games but never will be able to put the team on his back when he has to

 

Willis is a huge gamble and needs the proper infrastructure to develop, something we dont have and even if he did the things he has to improve on may be just too much to overcome

 

Corral, I just dont see what he does very well.  He has a quick release and can throw on the move but other than that I just dont see it.  Plus the attitude question marks would make me think twice at picking him at 6.

Man, we are desperate but honestly.  Pro comparisons for these guys.  Willis isn’t Mike Vick or Lamar.  Not near those guys honestly IMO.  Corral, is he Matt Ryan or Derek Carr?  Again he isn’t as good as either guy.  Pickett, so many questions, but guys like Cousins or Carr, he isn’t as good.  We probably force one but if they all fail it would not be a big surprise.

After our FA pickups I'm starting to favor trading back, especially if there's not an OT there. If the QB doesn't work out then hopefully the other picks will turn into productive players. If we stay at #6 I'm hoping we pick BPA and get someone who will a good player for us for a long time whether its DE, WR, S or even CB. We really need to nail our #1 pick at 6, because the late round guys we bring later won't be able to contribute much unless we get really lucky (or our scouts and staff knock it out of the park).

It's hard to feel too bad for Darnold, on his bed of money, but we've done him dirty if we draft a QB at #6 and pick up say Brown to play LT (and pair him with Corbett and Bozeman). 

The zealots will see it as confirmation that Darnold sucked - but to me they'd be setting up the new QB for success after setting Darnold up for failure behind that OLine last year.

You can only have so many chances to flash some potential. The Jets gave up on him and we are after one year. No one else was really interested unless you believe that Niners rumor. I just don’t think that every NFL team’s staff is wrong about Darnold. I watched him make some terrible decisions with actual time to throw the ball…

I saw him get a concussion and a fractured shoulder blade.

The video focused on his throwing motions.  That was relayed through the broadcasting early on in the workout.  Everyone was questioning that, even the announcers were. Word came in that was the focus.  Not sure why.

The coaches certainly were looking at something, especially Rhule.  Rhule was up his ass in the videos.

I agree it was certainly unprofessional.  There didn't seem to be a plan and it certainly didn't look rehearsed.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Trevon Moehrig, Turk Wharton, Bobby Brown, Jaelen Phillips, Devin Lloyd, Nic Scourton Giving him 6 starters in 2 offseasons that cost boat loads of money or a 2nd round pick... Not exactly handing the man scraps. The point of the draft is to make the team better. You want to make this about Bryce. It isn't. It's about improving the team. And if anyone can look at our offense and go "we're good", they are lying to themselves. You give quarterbacks weapons. We SCREAMED for YEARS to give Cam some help. But now because we are trying to do it for Bryce, you all are saying we are coddling him because of his "deficiencies". It's a double-standard because you don't like the guy, clearly. But even if he does fail, guess what? The next guy has help too. Win-win.

      we have 2 solid/above average (however you want to phrase that) wr's, which is more than half the league at least.  We dont need to be blowing more first round capital just to placate Bryce and his limitations.   We have one absolute stud (probably top 10 wr) in tmac and we have a high floor guy with insane potential if he can stay healthy.  Yeah man we are in better shape than the bulk of the teams in the league.  If you need to add some speed or whatever, sure draft in the mid rounds or wait until tc cuts.  Its monumentally stupid to spend 3 straight firsts on a wr if thats the route they go.  ITs just more and more excuses for Bryce, thats where we are at now.    "How can bryce succeed without a big possession type wr (drafts 2 for him), how is bryce supposed to exceed without a speed guy......."   Its fuging never ending.  Give EE some goddamn help on defense for once

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Tight ends in the first round just have so much risk. Even guys that look like guarantees at the position, fail. OJ Howard is a big one that comes to mind (and I REALLY liked him and thought he was going to be a stud in the NFL). I know that every player/position can be a gamble, but when you look at Kyle Pitts (he's come a long way, but he has clearly underperformed), TJ Hockenson, Hayden Hurst, Noah Fant, Eric Ebron, etc., NONE of these guys changed the dynamic of their team for the better. Zero. In fact, most of them end up being traded before their rookie deal is up. This draft has some good tight ends. I wouldn't spend a 1st on one.
