No offense but I’m not sold he is a first rounder.  Doubt it…lacks size doesn’t have very good athleticism either.  He is a good passer so he could be good on a good team.

He is basically the same size as Hartmann and similar skill set

His arm is significantly better than Hartman and he’s 6’2 195. Wouldn’t take much effort to hit 210. And it’s not just me. There’s sites suggesting he could push for QB3 in this class after Williams and Maye.

Might happen…takes 1 team

The idea would be a team in the middle to back half of the first round takes him where he can sit a year to learn an offense and then he can play for an actual good team vs joining a poo team and having to carry the franchise. That’s his path to success.

Agree there, he is a good distributor to weapons and very quick release.  I like him as a thrower.  I mean he is really young so lots of growing room

Duke is gonna be a top 10 ranked team if they pull this off.lol

I don’t think so. I think they’ll be close. But Notre Dame just took an L, this will be 2 in a row and they are 11 now. I’d guess they move up to 12 or 13. Only #10 lost so far, and this would be 11. Would be hard to move them all the way up over a VERY tight win against #11.

Ewers arm is way better than Hartman's. There's a reason why the guy was the #1 QB recruit in the nation. He and Klubnik are both struggling to show that ranking translating but they both show flashes. Hartman is a very good college QB but I don't think he's an NFL QB.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
