But Allen played 4 years of college football. Yes he had another year of eligibility. It's foolish to assume that every QB will turn in to Josh Allen just because you want them to.

That's definitely not what I am saying.  I said he reminds of him coming out of school.  Josh Allen was an inaccurate strong armed, athletically gifted QB from a small school and had a lot to learn to become what he is.  I have no clue is Richardson can do that (probably no where to that level).  NFL teams are going to be drooling over him when he does the combine/pro day.  His schedule is about to get easier so it shouldn't be hard to show growth as a passer.  He looked decent against UGA where he was severely outmatched.  Should he stay one more year?  Probably. Can he get drafted in the first this year? It's still pretty open to me...

I mean that is worse to me.  He played the position for longer at the college level and was still that raw coming into the draft.  I don't think that hurts Richardson at all.  If anything it helps...

If we're talking second tier guys, I like Penix a bit more.  But McCall definitely looks interesting.  Won't lie or just poo on the suggestion.

Though...I've been tricked before with these type of guys so have some hesitation.  If he finishes the year at the current rate, he'll definitely benefit opting in on this draft.  Just unsure how scouts are looking at him, is he a legit R1 guy? Or is he that James Morgan/Hackenberg type?  

He at least checks a few spots:

Size, Age, Arm, Ceiling, Agility.

Issues: Accuracy on the NFL throws outside of the screens, seams and slants.  Outs, curls, sideline passes seem erratic at times.  But no doubt he's been slaying overall in that system.  He's been efficient and has made some pretty passes.

Grayson Mccall's NFL ceiling is Chase Daniels... Grayson doesnt have the arm strength to be good in the pros. I mean his scouting report his pretty bad.... (He is expected to go in the 4-6 rounds)

 

  • His arm strength is decent but less than ideal; McCall lacks a little zip, and accuracy becomes an issue when he’s unable or unwilling to set his feet.
  • Sails throws to either sideline; receivers make him look good with acrobatic catches. Back-foot throws are not accurate. Sometimes trusts his arm too much, trying to stick passes late in the play or when off-balance.
  • Too often fails to give receivers a chance to make a play after the catch. High completion percentage padded by many quick screens.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
