I hear about being NFL ready but when you are talking about the first pick in the draft and the fact he will need a year of being an apprentace, potential has to count for something.Afterall, Jimmy Clausen was the most NFL ready qb on the board last year.I see a guy with a very strong arm,ideal size,superior speed, and from what I have read, leadership in the Huddle .I proclaim to have little knowledge on how difficult this would be hence the post.What I do know is the scouts and TV gurus have him as top five on the board so why would they not have him as number 1.My thought process is if he fails at qb he would make one hell of a tight end.LOL

OK, first of all, can you type that out with proper spacing and grammar? It's pretty hard to read.

Back to the topic at hand, the answer is dependent on his football IQ, something none of us are very sure about because he came out of a simple system. Does that mean he's dumb? No, it means we have no way of knowing because none of us can sit down with him and have Cam break down some tape or something.

That will happen at the combine this week. Teams get to interview candidates and ask questions to test the candidates football knowledge. This will go a long way to decide how teams see him.

I think Cam can certainly succeed in the NFL. I am still skeptical of taking him, but I am slowly coming around to the idea. Everything he has can make him a winning QB. I don't think he will ever put up MVP numbers, but I think he can win us games. That is ultimately all that matters.

The main thing against him, in my opinion, is his ability to make reads. At Auburn, if his first wasn't there he took off running. He needs to be able to go through his progression and make throws in the pocket. Running should be a rarity for him. He isn't fast enough to blow past NFL players like he did in college.

Again, I'm slowly warming up to the idea.

The "pro ready" QB's that played in NFL style offenses in college, have been the biggest busts to come out lately.

It is an overrated asset that means very little in the transition to the NFL.

The questions for Cam are the same that will be any QB, including Luck. How quickly can he make multiple reads, pre-snap reading, adjusting to the speed of the defense.

If he can learn that he will be fine.

Spread QB's don't bother me as much as run option QB's.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
