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.

    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
    • The Niners didn't want him. I think to some extent they were publicly shamed into making an offer when it was revealed he was not in their plans.
    • I think that is a price and attitude thing. Reportedly he was a bit of a handful for Shanahan, although admittedly not enough to not sign him to that big deal. I also think this may be much ado about nothing. If we plays this season, I suspect they will likely not move on from him.
