They need a WR and back 7 help badly, but I think they role with Hurts for another year. Your boy DeVonta has been great for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I still can’t believe the Eagles will have 3 1st round picks. Roseman is what Allen would be if he were competent. Enough competence to offset the douchebaggery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Baker Mayfield isn't doing a good job convincing the team he is worthy of a new contract. He has always seemed borderline Unless he leads the Browns to a season ending win streak, figure the Browns in on the first round QB race. They are in the same boat as WFT with wait and see on TH. They have Keenum to transition a draft pick. Edited November 29, 2021 by DWinzit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to trade Wentz to get a first and Wentz (when right) is a QB you can win with. Hurts was awful yesterday. Threw the dumbest int ever at the end of the first half. The Miami trade down was a good trade. However, they trade up and take Smith instead of Parsons. WRs are available every year and they passed on a position they need help desperately (LB). They passed on Jefferson for Raegar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean too. Maybe all four due to low position value. LBers drop on draft day, Hamilton has been injured on top of having low position value, and 1 techs like Davis rarely make it into the first round. Do any of us really want to pick Sam Howell or Kenny Pickett or a Big 10 skill player over a future All Pro defender? To me I don't think anyone of us has the answer to this. I've been on a good streak lately as for the QB spot but I've gotten plenty wrong too over the years. It's the hardest position to evaluate in sports or so many scouts to say. But if I had to come up with one definitive conclusion about the spot that would be we are limited watching the QBs from our couch. There is nothing that beats seeing these guys in person. To an extent that's true of other spots but its double so for QBs IMO. When some for example were debating about Mac Jones' arm strength, I was confident in my point. Why? Because I saw the dude drop a deep out route to Jeudy close to where I was sitting at a game. You could see plenty of zip on the throw. You can see better at a game than you can on TV. In training camp, you can watch these dudes throw every type of pass imaginable again and again and again right in front of your face. And you can compare it to other QBs doing the exact same throws. You can see the zip. You can see accuracy. You can better see if the are spotting or not spotting open receivers, etc. I am not saying we can't see things from our living room. We surely can see a lot. But my point is its so much easier IMO to judge a QB when you can see the arm talent in person. Where you can test their accuracy on every front when you bring them in for a pro day. When you can interview them personally and people close to them and figure out what type of person they are. Scouts have more data points than we do. And when it comes to the QB spot, some of those data points that we don't have IMO are significant. That's my long winded way of saying, the FO should be able to judge these QBs with a better eye than us. According to one reporter, Hurney at Carolina was a big Herbert guy before the draft. And he's the dude in that FO especially obsessed with QBs. Hopefully, that's true. While I for example am not in love with Pickett based on what I've seen. I am also not blown away by some of the other prospects but most of them do intrigue me at least to an extrent where I got to study them further. If for example I learned that Pickett has Mac Jones like intangibles it would get my attention or whatever about whichever QB. The one thing I'll say is of the top 6 touted QB prospects, there is no one in that mix that I hate. And that's unusual for me. But bringing this point home. The FO has more data points than we do about both Heinicke and the college prospects. So I'll ride with whatever they do and I'll judge them by the results versus how it matches my opinion when it goes down. So if they decide Heinicke for example is the guy. OK I'll ride with it. As for my take, they better be right. Whatever they do, they better be right. Of all the potential scenarios, I'll judge them the most harshly if they skip a QB in this draft and Heinicke shows to be a one year wonder, Kolb, Cassel, Colt Mccoy, Keenum type. I've had Rivera's back just about 100% but if he skips Qb in this draft and doubles down on Heinicke and Heinicke regresses -- then I'll become a loud critic of him at least on this decision. If on the other hand, it works, cool, I'll applaud it. Edited November 29, 2021 by Skinsinparadise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nuts that under Dan's whole regime the most they ever got for a player was a third round pick and that was for Trent. Depending on the report, Bruce blew it as for Trent where if he traded him during the season he could have gotten a 2nd and a 3rd or a first rounder. But nope. Spite was more important to him than trade capital. They let it fester to the next off season where Trent's value was diminished because a team in contention didn't need him and there were more fish in the sea since it was the off season. Bruce blew off a high first rounder and change for Kirk because he'd rather Kyle not have him and preferred to rent him for another season. It's criminal how bad a GM Bruce was along with Dan's bonehead moves over the years. The Eagles have accumulated plenty of high picks over the years. We on the other hand piss them away.

Couldn't even hold off a freshman. I highly doubt he'll end up at USC with Riley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Tomasie Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Chiming in to say that picking a QB in round one just because you need better play at QB is not a good strategy. You scout all of the college QBs and you determine which one is worth a first round grade to your team. If none are, then don't force the issue and draft a guy that's likely to be a bust, just so you can say you drafted a big-name QB. To me, Willis and Pickett are fringey, probably not first round talents and NONE of the rest of them are even close to first round, including Corral, Howell, Ridder, etc Barring incredible changes in the tryouts and pro days and all star bowls, I would not draft a QB in the first round. don't see any of these guys as likely NFL playoff caliber starters. Yeah I know we need more talent at QB badly, but you can't force it when it just isn't there. I find guys like Zappe, Brennan Armstrong, and Grayson McCall in lower rounds as more appealing investments. Zappe looks really good on film. I know the talent level is iffy and he is a little short and older (listed as 6'1" and will turn 23 around the time of the draft), but he has arm talent, knows his reads in that offense, and can run a bit too. Built thick so he should be able to take some hits. Not as enthusiastic about a late round flier on Haener or McKee or Strong. I just don't see the real upside there.

I don't think you'll get a debate on this either.

But if I felt the way you did. I wouldn't want to touch a QB in the first round either. So within the context of how you see things, i'd be against a QB, too. 1 hour ago, Rolo Tomasie said: I find guys like Zappe, Brennan Armstrong, and Grayson McCall in lower rounds as more appealing investments.

Built thick so he should be able to take some hits. Zappe is my next favorite at the moment after Haener as for the mid round types. I've talked about him a little. They probably both end up just backups but if If I am taking a flier right noow, it would be either Haener (who I see you don't like) or Zappe (who I see you do like.) 1 hour ago, Rolo Tomasie said: Not as enthusiastic about a late round flier on Haener or McKee or Strong. I just don't see the real upside there. McKee I haven't loved. Strong IMO won't be a late rounder. He IMO has a better shot at being in the first round than a late rounder. Strong IMO has plenty of upside -- heck I wish Haener or Zappe had Strong's arm. Conversely i wish Strong had Zappe and Haener's pocket movement and ability to make off platform throws. It should be an interesting draft, I was just listening to Mike Garafalo on 106.7 who said talking to FOs he's hearing they see this QB class as better than the media thinks it is. That's the 2nd national reporter who has suggested they are hearing front offices aren't down on this group compared to how the Mel Kiper draft media types see this class.

Going Commando Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Riley will get that 5 star from Los Alamitos to go with him to USC. In the meantime, he'll have Jaxson Dart and Kedon Slovis to coach so I don't know if Caleb Williams will follow him to such a crowded QB room. But if I were Riley, I would want Williams to follow me.
