Brock Purdy and why we don't need to draft a 1st round QB

It’s all a matter of opinion. I’ve seen AR ranked as the 3rd QB. Which 4 do you have 1st round grades on?

Most have Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis, Tanner McKee. I would personally take Hendon Hooker over Levis and McKee. PFF ranks

I would have Anthony Richardson sixth and well into the second round. People kept talking about how last year's qb class was weak and how this one was strong. I am just not seeing a strong qb class. Young and Stroud and then a pretty big drop off.

I am gonna set the over/under on these type of threads at 10.5.

Are you taking the over or under before we actually hit the draft?

We can start the clock with the last one created and this one doesn't count towards it.

You had me worried at the title, @kungfoodude . I knew you were better than this

Over all regimes since its inception this franchise has been a run first play good defense ball club. Teams have tendencies that seem to show themselves no matter who’s in charge. Not saying it can’t be done just that it never has. 

 

Yeah, I get that ppl thinking that Wilks being a Defensive guy doesn't care about Offense. I just have to believe that he knows that even if you are ground and pound, you still need to throw the ball. 

 

We need QB help. It's going to be fun seeing how THIS regime goes about that task.

I'd rather have superior coaching, an effective system, great culture, and solid roster top to bottom, than swing for a home run QB talent. When you find one in a draft for cheap and have the other ingredients in place, you're a Super Bowl contender. Without, you can still be a dark horse contender and consistent playoff team.

The Steelers are a good example under Tomlin.

Has anyone seen Corral on the sideline or does anyone know how his rehab is going? He seems to have fallen off the radar. 

I’ve seen him on the sidelines. Seemed in good spirits. 
 

Lisfranc has a lengthy recovery time so the updates will be few and far between, and he’s on IR so those guys, even established veterans kind of fall off the radar for the season.

flashes in the pan are a dime a dozen in the NFL, who cares. when there is tape, controversy, roster turnover and as time goes on, continuing at a high level is what’s rare.

Yup. Rule of thumb is generally 5ish games of tape and then the wheels fall off. 
 

Cool story, but once teams know his tendencies…that’s when we find if he’s legit or not.

Give me Mayer out of Notre Dame and Jalyn Hyatt out of Tennessee. Let's see what we have in Corral before we got spending any more picks on QB's. No QB's outside of Stroud or Young would be worth a 1st round pick this year. If we took Anthony Richardson we'd have two projects and Darnold which doesn't make sense to me.

I can't believe so many posters are AGAINST drafting a 1st round QB.  QB has been an issue for a while now and we can't just count on mid/late round diamonds or converting someone else's outcasts.  We aren't smarter than all the other teams in the league.  Just draft one we like and try to actually develop him.  We have solid OL now which is a nice first step.  

Have you seen the first round QB's outside of Burrow in recent years? They're trash.

    • I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.
    • Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.
    • Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
