Besides Young and Stroud, no other QB has me sold they would be a clear upgrade over PJ.

Will Levis is looking more like Taysom Hill 2.0 and his stock is falling fast. Hendon Hooker I really do like but some on here has sold me on the idea that his his age and the type of offense he is running could be big negatives.

Obviously if we land pick 1 or 2 you take Stroud/Young and don’t look back. But what I have seen of PJ and what he would look like getting an entire off season next year to prepare as QB1 has me thinking we just draft Quinten Johnston in the 1st if we fall to the top 10 (6’4 WR that runs a 4.40 and looks Megatronesque) he is projected as the top WR in the draft by far. 
 

pair him with DJ Moore with this O line and PJ with a full year under his belt, and you have a beast of an offense.

With Hooker it’s not his age that scares me, it’s that he’s a one read and run QB from what I’ve seen. I’ll do more research as we get closer to the draft and there’s more video out there of all the QBs, but what I’ve seen from the games played so far I want no part of Hooker or Levis.

There's nothing you can say to anyone that still needs to see more tape to evaluate Walker. We could keep him around as a backup that's best case scenario. Right now one of these college QB's could play as good or better. They could also just as easily throw touchdowns for the other team too.

Kyle Allen was Baby GOAT for 5 games.

The difference for me is that Walker has been making some big time throws

He’s capable of throwing those deep ins on a rope (the 4th down ball to Moore), those are special throws

PJ has such a live arm and can make all the throws. I’m actually looking forward to seeing PJ play these last 9 games. At the very least he’s fun to watch, something we haven’t had in a LONG ass time

It's time to dust this off and remind everyone to take a deep breath here and there between games.

If you're never willing to take a chance, even in what is I'd call an average year, not a poor class (for that, re: last year, 2015, 2010, 2002), then you'll never find a QB. 

There's high upside talent in this class that are indeed risks, but they could pay off and we could have our guy.  Hooker, Levis, Richardson, Penix, all could be possibilities.  You gotta take the chance if you think one of them has the chance to be great. 

And you know, it really falls on this scouting dept and Scott if they think one of them fits the bill.  There's also a fair amount of CFB left to shake out.  Let's see how we're feeling in a month or so.

PJ Walker? You really talking about rolling with PJ Walker long term? Finally attempted more than 20 passes in a game and it tanked his completion percentage to 50% PJ Walker? Career 5/9 TD/INT PJ Walker? THAT PJ Walker? Somebody pinch me.

But he made a long throw and made ESPN!

People act like he magically woke up with a blessed arm. He has always had a cannon. Having a cannon doesn't make you a good QB...it means you can hit a WR 62 yards downfield once every few years. PJ seems like a nice kid and good teammate. He has earned a backup QB spot somewhere for a few years. But come on folks, he was fourth on OUR depth chart preseason game 3 for a reason.

    • Excellent post. Before yesterday I hadn't posted in about 2 years. I just popped in every once in a while to get updates. A couple of guys around here are excellent at that and one is funny as heck. Then there's MHS831, when I do pop in I always check out your threads. I really appreciate your takes and how you explain them and also the effort you put into it. Plus, your a class act.  I also came here to mention the UDFA C I understand we signed. I've read that he was ranked in the 6th round for what that's worth. He had a solid career and has traits that are special. He needs to be developed but he has potential and his strength is run blocking and his athleticism fits what we want to do offensively I think.  I think he was a late draft target that they believed was safe so they drafted other players and picked him up after the draft instead. If so, that's smart and very disciplined.    Here's a report on his strengths: SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Raym is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage. Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Raym displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and he can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level. Has the strong leg drive to create movement at the line of scrimmage, consistently putting defenders on the ground. Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire. He's a dawg. Badass. I think his skills fit what we want to do too. This kid has the potential to be a stud for us. It's true we didn't draft him but we still got him. So, if it's really a big deal, just imagine that we had an extra 6th and drafted this guy there. He was valued there so it's a good pick. In my mind, we got a good center this draft, even if we didn't draft him. We signed him just the same. 
    • That blows my mind too.  You know your system and the skill sets you covet--you have hours of game tape, you interview, you measure, you test, you weigh, you time--and 25% is the bar?  Now, I know some teams only have 2-3 openings some years, but dang.
    • 25% of day 2/3 picks would be phenomenal.   NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High - Daily Norseman Assuming the 30% includes first round picks, and that a draft success means the play spends significant amounts of time playing for the team that drafted him, a 25% success rate for day 2/3 picks would be well above average.
