Carroll even admitted during the process that he hates picking this high (even though it's because of a trade).  And if you're this high, you go for the moonshot.  They've got 20, 37, 52, 83.  Plenty of picks to build a team.  If you're a playoff team sitting at 5, with an emerging opening for a QB, and you can essentially redshirt the guy, you go for it.  

Perfect situation for both team & player. 

 

 

Yeah, I caught that when he said it a couple of months ago. Gotta wonder what Denver would have done if they still had that pick and RW contract.

CJ should have refused.  But did he know in advance he would tank the test? Probably not.  

If it's part of the application process for a team then you either take or you don't.  The team will weigh your decision of not completing their evaluation process in their decision.  If im applying for a position on a team looking to draft me I will take any test I am asked to take.  If they want me they will take me regardless.

And honest, the top defenders are nothing special in my book compared to the next tier. 

No joke--I think more of the star potential lies in the Kancey, Nolan Smith, Van Ness, Porter Jr., etc. range, who SEA will be in play for at 20.  SEA is just set up perfectly this draft & Denver looks more idiotic by the day.  

Both SEA & DET are setup to have huge splashes in this draft.

I don’t believe it’s between Young and Stroud. I don’t think they’d publicly entertain a trade down if it was. They would just talk to Houston, Arizona, and Indy in private.

They traded up because AR and/or Levis was the target and they feared that all four QBs would be gone by 9. #5 wouldn’t be enough to insure their guy, and per Breer #3 cost as much as #1 because Chi wanted DJ. Now we control our own destiny and there’s no way we miss out on a QB.

Everyone’s going to freak if its AR or Levis because “we could have stayed put at 9” but based on how they’re moving I don’t think the folks on staff agree. Missing out on a top QB was their worst case scenario and this was the only way they could insure that wouldn’t happen.

I said this for weeks lol

 

Stroud hype was only coming from people on this board.

 

As I said yesterday if Richardson lands in Seattle we might be in trouble. I think he has the highest ceiling of all the QB's and if he gets with the right coaching staff watch out!

 

 

But before you jumped on the BY train you were all sell out for CJ. Opinions change of course and not everyone is sold on BY as the next big, or in his case little, thing. That's why the draft process is so much fun.

The only guy that has just not been sold to me by his play (or) by his hypers is Levis. I would have been stoked to come out of this with Young, Richardson or Stroud. 

For Will: No matter the arm, upper body mechanics, JA comps, or "potential"--His decision making, general lack of mechanical discipline, & 3 years as Penn State's battering ram just irks me the wrong way.  He's barely a year younger than Hooker and doesn't have the liberty to have so much to work on.  Turns 24 in June, almost 4 years AR's senior.

Yeah I was on the CJ train at the beginning but as I mentioned a while back that after watching the film I was sold on Bryce Young being the best QB.

 

I always have said I would be fine with either of Bryce/Stroud/AR.

 

Not gonna lie im kind of nervous if AR lands in Seattle. His skills are there it will be all about coaching. If he gets coached up he's going to be something scary in this league.

BY is the most ready now. With the right coaching, I think AR could be down right scary. We have the coaching staff I think. But Dalton is not the QB I want playing an entire season while he learns. 

They could both end up being special. AR has the potential to do more with his feet. If he gets his accuracy and short range passes under control, he's going to be a lethal passer.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
