Joe Burrow was a borderline top 200 recruit. Arch Manning was everyone's #1.  And Dwayne Haskins was was a top 15 NFL draft pick. Ohio State never signed Burrow expecting him to start for them, then he transferred to LSU and absolutely exploded as a super senior.

Let's not move the goal posts here, You are leaving out the fact that Quinn Ewers was himself a #1 overall prospect.... you measured that by calling him a 7th round pick (he would have been much better served to leave lasg year not this year would have been a 2nd at least) but your also jumping around from college success to NFL draft status (while not including the fact both of those guys were massive busts)

If you look at the dead money on their cap, its already pretty high.  Lattimore alone is 30 million.  Most of their bigger contracts don't seem to buy them much in terms of trading or cutting.  Best to play with what you have this year, and then start doing the cuts after this season.  

We might get to see Taysom Hill at qb a lot.  🙂

 

Would love nothing more to see Taysom Hill get exposed once and for all.

Yeah, Ewers was a #1 QB but he was disappointing from the jump. I'm not jumping around, I'm just putting your bad comps into perspective. You keep saying comps are everywhere but there really aren't comps for #1 QB prospect, especially the most hyped #1 QB prospect on a long time, riding the pine for two years behind a 7th round pick.

*a new contender in the Arch Manning sweepstakes enters*

Can anyone remember this much hype for a guy who rode the pine behind a 7th round pick for two years? It's pretty wild. If his last name was anything other than Manning everyone would've forgotten about this kid by now and he'd have to be reintroduced this fall as the #1 QB recruit from a few years back.

Those NIL deals are going to ruin sports altogether.

Why would Arch Manning bother taking a snap in the NFL if he already has that kind of money?

This will change after the Carr announcement, but:

The banner is over the Jets at #3 and taking Sellers.  Yup, that's 5 QBs in the top 10.  Sounds about right if all the top guys come out.

If we suck I hope we land Sellers. Ideally we are picking closer to 20 next draft

I'm pretty sure hes one of the few who dont need the money.....

Not to mention he is the next generation Manning.... you'd better bet his grandfather and uncles want the legacy to continue.

Supposedly he plans on staying in college for all 4 years.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
