Unfortunately, I think you're right. Except that I think Pickett is the QB of the draft. If the Saints think that too and are willing to make those moves to get him then maybe I'm not wrong. 

You never really know about team's values or QBs in the draft but that is a lot of movement for this rookie class. 

I just don't see it from Picket.

You made a comment about taking Howell versus the field, which is a ridiculous suckers bet anyway. 

But, I was prepared to have a defined and agreed upon set of criteria to evaluate against. 

Those odds are insanely stacked in my favor though.

Yeah, if I'm banking on a legit QB out of this class, I'd take Howell over the field.

It's an insane bet because you don't know where a guy is going to land. I mean, Howell could get drafted into some terrible situation to some poo franchise with a losing overall record and a brand new super genius hedge fund owner who has proven to be a moron in the NFL and coached by some hack of a mid-level college coach with full say over football matters and an OC who couldn't get any other NFL job after being fired as a head coach... oh wait...

Betting on the outcome of draft picks is dumb. Betting on the outcome of a draft prospect's career is even dumber.

Sorry, but them's facts 

Where do you truly believe Howell gets picked? The number, i will not use it like I have with my Allen and Herbert comments.

For me Howell is hardest player to pick for, just curious.

Yeah, I don't believe in that idea. Great players are going to be great because they want to be great and work to be great. No one puts that in them.

That's why great players are still great on shitty teams and shitty players are shitty no matter where they go.

If you make it to the NFL and you need the perfect situation around you to be successful, then you probably just aren't that good.

Ultimately, I think he goes to the Steelers at #20.

I think theres a decent chance thats hes still staring at his phones until day 3, agains his draft spot is the hardest for me to pinpoint. I do think Pitt will past on him with their 1st, but if hes still there form their 2nd......

I think that too. But you'd still be dunking on me that Howell sucks if he was playing decently for a bad team. I mean hell, most of the Huddle already thinks that about him because UNC sucked while he was basically playing like MVP Cam for them.

    • Its worse because the NFL would never allow all the teams to join the NFC East or something.  There's a firm divisional structure with a salary cap to make it competitive.
    • Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile): K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20). WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike. LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday. LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks. WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday. OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today. During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past). Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right). Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field. Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday. Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.
    • Most things that made it good are already dead, imo. The transfer portal combined with the money makes it all a complete joke. There’s no longer any sense of school pride, at least for me. If my team does well it is in large part because they paid better guys than the next team. When I went to college, I had some basketball players living in the same apartments and they’d show up to parties sometimes. You’d see guys around and they were just normal broke college kids like you. There was comraderie and pride that these guys saw the same school you loved and wanted to be there just like you. All of that is gone. It’s pro sports now, but worse. The players aren’t there long enough to feel like you know the team. No connection, just bragging rights over who has the largest and most affluent donor base.
