Why would you want to project a lot of interest in a guy who's expected to go in a round you don't have a pick in?

"Hey we really want to trade in to this round!"

Fitt would definitely take money from people here in poker

So it's either A) We don't have interest and therefore didn't show up en masse or B) We do have interest but we're faking like we don't so that we can trade back and snag him? 

Occam's razor is telling me it's the first one.

It doesn't take discipline when the NFL consensus was that he was too small.

 

ok, if you say so

doesn't change the fact the point of my post was that it's not a crazy idea to think they are trying to show heavy interests in the top 3 QBs for a reason outside of taking one of the top 3 QBs.

Would I put money on that, probably not, but that doesn't mean there isn't a chance of that happening.

Or maybe they are showing up to see who wants to trade up for a QB because they aren't planning on taking Pickett, Wilson, or Corral. Need to start working those trades for draft day.

You want a QB? Call me and we'll talk.

If they do take a QB it will be tiny hands because Rhule throws a tantrum. McAdoo and Fitt are not sold with their QB needing youth gloves.

It’s almost as if they have a top 10 pick and are focusing QBs that have been mentioned as potential top 10 picks and spending less time on potential day 2 picks since they have no other picks after 6 until 138. They showed up at Ridders but not the whole suite. 

You say that as if we don't have a GM who's known for trading back and acquiring more picks. There's no reason for them to not be there unless they don't see him as a worthwhile prospect. 

That is, unless they are making a statement out of showing up in force to the other QB pro days, in the hopes of baiting teams to trade up and letting a top tier OL prospect fall to us at 6. Just a theory.

Team's pretty regularly check out players that they may not have a realistic shot of getting as due diligence or "just in case".

I'd say it's highly possible we're just not interested.

    • He can be our post injury Delhomme in 2008. I am fine with Hubbard and Dowdle being our Willliams and Stewart.    Canales has some eating to do and hair to grow if he’s going to be Jeff Davidson tho.
    • This season was about continuing to dig ourselves out of the crater Fitterer (and by extension Young with the three first round picks we traded for him) buried us in. Tepper is determined to make Bryce happen, so we're forced to play him at QB and adjust around his obvious inadequacies. 
    • Has nothing to do with the yards per carry, like at all. It's that 17 of his 25 passes were less than 10 yards downfield, against the worst pass defense in the league.  It's another game where Bryce's passing attempts were mostly dink and dunk type of passes. I wasn't asking us to throw it more yesterday, hell, if anything, you could make an argument that with how we were running it, we should have thrown it less than 25 times anyways.  It's that we still threw it 25 times but only had 8 of them where the ball was thrown 10+ yards downfield. Our schedule takes a dramatic shift after this week, even next week against the Jets, they have a decent defense for a team that hasn't won a game yet.  This was a great opportunity to allow Bryce to throw the ball downfield more against the worst pass defense in the league, hence I'd just have liked to see more than 8 of 25 passes be thrown further than 10 yards downfield. IF we were going to throw it 25 times against Dallas, I'd have liked to see a good 12-15 of them be further than 10 yards downfield, let Bryce work on his weakness against the worst pass defense in the league, not throw more dink and dunk passes per usual.
