People keep saying that but they were never regarded as high as whats on deck.  They both had a ton of poo they need to work on

Yeah, that's...not actually true.

But either way, going by this year's hype train isn't exactly a reliable path.

This time last year, people were saying similar things about Spencer Rattler and Sam Howell.

I’ve constantly had this debate. Next year’s class looks good, but a lot can happen in one season like this past year… There are a lot of unknowns like where we are picking and how they play next year.

There are already mock drafts for 2023 up on draft sites.

(this when mocks posted in February turned out useless)

Oh yeah. Plenty of QBs drop in the draft after an additional year of play. Jordan Love and Jake Locker are a couple aside from Rattler/Howell off the top of my head. The constant wait until next year guys are playing a dangerous game.

Backup quarterbacks... Other people's food orders... Next year's draft class...

I would draft a QB early next year regardless of how Corral looks. I think him sitting for a year would be best, but with the QBs we have he will likely get playing time.  

It’s not a bad idea if we are high on a prospect that’s available when we are picking. I wanted us to draft Fields after we signed Darnold. Having several good young QBs isn’t a bad thing.

That'd be pretty heavily contingent on us not having any other big needs though.

If Corral is the future let Sam go. It doesn't benefit either guy. The option was a mistake and no way Sam should be the one Matt should be looking at as an NFL professional. Clean the QB room and start fresh.

 

I disagree with that bolded part. By all accounts, Sam is a true professional. There is a very real chance that Sam could be an excellent mentor. 

 

As a general rule. QBs are not the most eager of mentors.

It wasnt a constant for me, this just wasnt the year and we just saw why.  The past 3 days is definitive proof of what the nfl thought about this class.  I would have been over the moon with Fields from last year and have said all along 2023 has way more volume of top prospects then 2022.  There are legit like 5 players that can go in the top 12ish.

      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
