Volek not likely an option

not sure why anyone thought any of us were saying volek was some long term answer. he just might provide stability and instant offense improvement while this year/next year's quarterbacks adjust to the game. imo, even if the rookie beats out Volek or another seasoned FA, it is still good to have had Volek/whoever to compete with him and back him up if things go to poo.

moore could probably do just as well tho.

People won't like hearing it, but Smith is a legit possibility.

His best year came with Norv Turner as his QB coach, and heaven knows our staff has loads of ties to Turner.

If San Fran doesn't want to keep him, he could get a shot here.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but...

I really would like us to pass on a QB this year, and go into camp with Moore/Alex Smith/Clausen/Pike, and keep the best 3.

While I don't think Smith is a long term answer since he's probably never going to be an elite guy, I think he's a decent passer that, with a change in scenery, could become a good player for us while our young WRs develop.

I wouldn't scream about that lineup, but Smith's definitely not my first choice.

If Chud/Shula had the same influence on him as Turner, it could work.

I could see Donovan McNabb or Vince Young for that...but not Billy freaking Volek.

McNabb is garbage outside of the west coast offense and VY is both a headcase, and young enough to where he would not be considered a stop gap veteran, but a possible future of the franchise.

like it or not, Volek is one of the few options we have next year

So what is your option at QB after the stop gap? Another stop gap?

a never ending stream of stop gaps and 2nd-5th round QB selections that you hope pan out because those 1st rounders are just too risky(We would have to get number 1 to get Luck next year anyway don't see that happening).

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

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      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
