You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks. Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example. The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….

I hope not but I suspect they probably do…

Probably a lot cheaper signing Grier, especially for the practice squad guy.

Do it Dan!

If Nuss or Allar are there in the 4th I'd love to get one. I'd love to see if our staff can develop either of these (especially Allar). Allar has the ceiling you want but Nuss probably has the higher floor.

You are thinking waaaaaaaay to deep into a QB signed in mid April who might make the practice squad at best. The whole Tepper Bryce bit it just boring at this point. To even connect Tepper/Bryce to this signing is just absurd. Pickett is simply a backup QB. He was one with the Super Bowl winning Eagles but suddenly on our roster he is the worst QB ever and only here because we are afraid to give Bryce any competition? No. He is just a young backup QB to take Dalton's spot. We have visited with Pavia, Robertson, King, and Payton off the top of my head. We either didn't like this class or wanted to go ahead and have another QB in OTAs so we signed a cheap QB3/practice squad QB which is exactly what Grier is. If we are wanting to replace Bryce, next year's class looks to be the one IMO. Very few QB2s and virtually no QB3s are challenging even a struggling starter like Bryce.

We are looking at a practice squad QB. I think some people just want to be angry. We aren't picking up anyone that will challenge for QB1 in mid April.

Brian St Pierre!

Are you talking about the leading WR on the best team in the country? The WR who has more broken tackles then the top RB (Love)? Yeah he isn't a 4th rounder...

One of my favorite prospects. Jrod and Lloyd would be a nice combo at ILB.

I think TEs in general are just tough to project. Could be all the reason to avoid one in the first honestly.

Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first. Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well). Also he was an WR and CB in high school. This is why I always thought his route running was solid. I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level. I just like him as a prospect.

The run heavy team proves my point. It's all about opportunities in which both players had limited college opportunities due to their offenses they were in. Both had 50ish catches that final year with similar numbers. Both McCarthy and Moore had/have issues with the deep ball in college. The point of Sadiq also being a good blocker is Oregon using him for that role as well. Not just a jumbo WR which limited his receptions as well as the Oregon offense focusing on spreading the ball. He is a solid prospect, probably not one we need to draft but still a good one. We also are not locked in on the players were brought in. Having a later pick kind of throws that out the window to a degree. We visited these players at pro days, individual workouts, combine etc as well.

I feel like he checks most of these boxes. Definitely has a robust route tree, great blocker, and is explosive after the catch. I do think his drops were up this year and I haven't checked his or the other players peripheral stats. He isn't my first choice, but I can see his appeal as a prospect. I just don't know how good we are at developing TEs. JT never got better like I thought he would. We might be better off signing a vet like Joker or Jonu IMO.

Kittle, McBride (actually had one great year), Kraft, Loveland, Kelce, LaPorta would all have to be exceptions which is now making the high production guys more of the exception. Look at Warren's stats before that final year he was featured in his offense. A fraction of the yards and 2 TDs over 3 years. That is my case and point. They featured this talented TE his senior year and his stats were amazing. TE's college receiving stats are tough to translate in the NFL.
