That wasn't what those highlights showed. But to be fair I don't watch much Oregon football last year. I watched the UGA game and some of the Utah game that I can recall. Can't say I ever noticed this guy.

Didn't notice him once during the holiday bowl vs unc. Hell he might not of even played.

Not really a fan of this pick with the trade up. For sure a developmental player, but at 25 we may only get two years out of his contract where he's a legit contributor or depth. By the time he's ready for his second contract he may have already lost a little bit of juice

This is a bad pick no way around it.

 

Just reading the scouting report is says he is a project. The problem I have is he is already 25 years old.

 

By the time he's coached up he will be approaching 30. This is just a bad trade up. Washington was there for the taking.smh

Well heck if the scouting report written by guys who never worked in a football organization says it….it must be true.

also - he’s 24.  So you’ll get 10 years out of him instead of 12.  Is that really a big deal?  He’s a third rounder for goodness sakes

He’s a 3rd round pick man. If DC sees something and can make him blossom for 3 -4 years at a fringe starter level then we win and simply draft his replacement.

The team looks to win immediately. Johnson could be an immediate role player and we need someone who can stop the run.

 

There are dudes in the 3rd round of this draft that don’t need 3-4 years to blossom.  You talking about blossoming at near 30 given his age. 

we just drafted a rookie QB #1 overall.  We aren’t a win immediately team.  We got to develop our QB. 

should of just drafted that 6’7 UGA TE instead and focused on Bryce Young’s development.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
