People keep talking about how bad Florida is but their last four recruiting classes were 9, 7, 12, and 18 (and that was the '22 class). People forget how bad Florida looked with Anthony Richardson.

You have to account for transfers. Especially when Mullens left. They looked completely awful without AR in their bowl game. It’s why Auburn was so bad too. A bunch of players transferred out because of Harsin…

With Houston playing Indy to close out the year Chicago could be up with the 1st pick

So let’s say Chicago sneaks into that 1st spot…

If you’re Chicago… are you looking to trade down with someone wanting a QB or do you take a QB and restart your 5 year window and trade Fields for picks?

Oh the humanity if after 2 years, the Chicago Fields fall to have the worst record in the NFL.

Tune and Haener both stepped up in their bowls. I typically don’t attach to mid to late rounders but those two really interest me. Especially Tune.

He could legit rise through the process to QB4-5

No, Duggan, Tune, Rising and Haener are my dark horse guys to steal later in the draft.

Hartman is staying in college and entering the portal. Just waiting for Ward to say he's staying now. The middle of this QB class completely disappeared.  I know, I know...the dreaded 'next year' scenario, but it is looking better and better as the 2nd, 3rd and 4-5 round guys that stayed for next season will come out, several will be out of eligibility.  Top that off with the first-time draft eligible guys and it is looking pretty darn good!

Yeah it makes sense for these mid-tier guys to stay and collect NIL money as long as they can. Ward should also stay this year. He has some tools that could move him up the draft board if he has a solid year next year.

On a side note if Wilks is our guy (and he is looking like he might be) look out for Richardson or Levis. Remember Wilks wanted the Cards to trade up for Allen and not doing so was one of his biggest complaints. I’m assuming he likes the big arm, raw talent guys based on that. Just a thought…

That's exactly what I'm afraid of.   Levis has the physical tools, but lacks the mental aspect of the game seemingly.  The people that were knocking Trey Lance for being essentially underdeveloped would be very hypocritical to be on Richardson's bandwagon.  Lacking the needed snaps to be successful is the same no matter what college competition faced and simply because Richardson played (extremely) mediocre football in the SEC doesn't make him any more ready than Lance.   For this reason I'm not in favor of drafting 3rd year college QBs, namely RSOs.

I agree.  It really depends on which HC or OC we end up with.  The power running game behind our OL would be a rookie/raw QBs best friend.  Hell it's making Darnold look serviceable.  I think Lance would have been ok if he could just stay healthy.  Shanahan runs a run first offense and loves to lean on his defense allowing his QBs to primarily make the "safe" throws.  With the right OC/HC Richardson in the first and Kincaid with one of our 2nds could be a nice start.  

The first/main thing we need to do is extend Bozeman.  Rookie QB or not he has shown to be crucial to our offense.

How does Hartman still have eligibility? It feels like he's been playing college football for a decade.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
