It could happen. Teams could fall in love with Levis or Richardson (especially after the underwear Olympics) and he could fall like Fields did. 

Levis yes,  anyone that's wanting a starting QB out of this draft class knows Richardson absolutely WILL NOT be ready.  He has to sit a year.  You are not using a top 10 pick on that.

You would be surprised. I could see a team using AR in a simplistic running offense and letting him grow in it. The Bills rolled with Allen before he was ready and just let him struggle for a year or two. I could also see a team drafting him high with a bridge QB. Most teams will have some sort of capable starter before the draft because you don’t know if a QB will be available or not when you pick.

I say fug it, draft Anthony Richardson. Yeah, he's boom or bust. But you either get a stud or let him Jimmy Clausen you into Drake Maye or Caleb Williams.

The only problem I see is he is going to be a question mark still after a year. Remember it took Allen 2 years to look the part. So if we have AR and he struggles (as expected) do we still just draft Williams or Maye?

I may be surprised or he may be the as raw as advertised.  Josh Allen went to a small school and was further along.  I wouldn't lump the two together.  Again, if some QB falls to #8/#9 not named Richardson and we draft him, I'll be begrudgingly okay with it. If we reach for Richardson there, then I will be freaking livid.  I hope Fitts is smarter than that.

Let the coaches and front office make the call. They'll know who he is by then even if the results aren't there. The Cardinals cut bait on Rosen after a year because they already knew he was an arrogant, uncoachable prick.

That's fair, but I also think Rosen was suppose to be much more "pro ready" than AR is right now.

Plenty of rookie don't play great. Allen looked bad. Trevor Lawrence looked bad. But after a year with the guy you have a pretty good feel for what he is, both physically and mentally and are in a pretty good place to make a projection on him in terms of his career trajectory.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
