3.9 Justice Hill
3.10 Snell

Damned good value for Justice Hill, often see him going early to mid second

It is, but remember only need to start one RB and there is only one flex. Lot teams are set at RB.

Well after some players off the WW were picked I drafted Nick Foles. Still have another pick in the 4th and hoping Goedert is there still. Was tempted to take him first, but I really need a QB so didn't risk it.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Well I landed both Foles and Goedert, think another QB next pick

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I took Drew Lock in the 6 th round. Only rookie QB left.

Super accurate and smart, and arm is probably better described as average, definitely no cannon, but better then Pennington's pop gun.

Honestly its more of a gut thing. Something about him just makes me think he has "it"

could be, could be. pennington is a bad comparison. I think cam newton 2 days post op had a bigger arm than chad, but chad was very accurate, just like grier

now, another question. You are down on mayfield for college actions. What about grier? He was kicked off his team......

 

[TREFF]

to be fair, the NCAA suspended him for a year, some PED supplement they say, then he transfered, and everything I've read was that it was his decision as he felt the FL staff gave up on him. I'm sure theres some he said she said there, but he was never kicked off the team, and the issue wasn't his attitude

[TREFF]

even worst case, this was all character and he was pushed off the team/forced to transfer..its still one incident, not a pattern of issue after issue, on and off the field, and certainly not an arrest record

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Not sure how you take this, but Charlie Weis loved Greir before the draft, said he wouldn't be surprised if he climbed draft boards after interviewing

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Not sure what he thought about Carolina landing spot

I guess yeah. Just funny that some of the alarms aren’t an issue here, arm strength, character etc.

I think we all ignore things when we like a player

I find the discussion interesting.
QB is a strange position to predict
We've seen QB come in cold and have good careers.
We've had QB start out hot and self destruct.
Most fall under the "he's-Ok" banner.
The elite few are rare.
And the bad ones are just bad.

 

[averagejoe]

Just to add...
I guess my ambiguous point was we've seen QB who had the height and the smarts and the arm strength only to fail. We've also seen the QB who were too small, or came from a weak school, or had average arm strength only to prove the experts wrong.
More than any other position, either a guy has "IT" or he doesn't.
