I would be furious with that Draft as a Panthers fan. Why would the Dolphins trade back to #7 only to trade out of it again?

Allen looks better than he is in Buffalo because they've put a great Oline infront of him. I hope we do the same - imagine McCaffrey behind a great Oline. It'd be a bloodbath.

I know y'all hate the Brady comparisons - and I'm not going to make one - but there's a fun clip of Brady in the 'Brady 6' documentary. It's about the 6 QBs that were taken before him (and you better believe he remembers their names). Anyway he makes the salient point that QB play is about what's between the ears (11 mins into the doc below - it's well worth a watch). Most on here seem to be wrapped up in physical attributes (tall, mobile, big [enough] arm) when really that's not what wins you football games at the next level. NFL evaluators think Jones has the mental side of the game down and they're trying to learn from the Brady / Brees / Wilson mistakes.

I disagree about that - he's no less talented than any of the top QBs in this Draft. I'd be mortified if we moved up for anyone. I personally wouldn't select Fields or Lance (unless I was playing hardball with the Broncos / Patriots / Football Team and was taking a player to trade him), but sadly I'm not in charge of things.

Three first round picks isn't a smoke screen.

I mean that's not much of a burner account is it? Tweeting pro-Bridgewater stuff, following the teams of all his previous stops etc. That's TOO obvious.

It was better than ours, so where does that leave us?

Ah poo.

Exactly - when he's got that type of receiving talent he's not asking Burrow to throw to an UDFA TE. Likewise he's not asking Bridgewater to throw to the terrible TEs on our roster when he has Moore / Samuel / Anderson to throw to.

I genuinely don't give a fug how his football career or life pans out. What an odd statement.

If I read the news article correctly, the Jets are 0-10 when he's been injured. Whether he turns into a guy we can build a franchise around is another matter, but he's clearly a talented player who elevates the play of those around him.

But he's not smart enough to keep that opinion to himself and his immediate circle knowing the reactionary nature of sports fans? Makes sense.

I usually throw myself into the Draft process so I'm much more bullish on propects. I haven't this year, for various reasons. That said I just don't get the Wilson hype. He has the potential to be very good, don't get me wrong, but the fact he was in a 3 way battle for his job in the Spring and was never named Captain is startling. As for his play on the field I think he runs a fine line between throwing up jump balls and putting the ball where it needs to be. I LOVED Mahomes coming out because whilst he played off the cuff like Wilson / had mechanics you wouldn't teach an 8 year old QB (both arm and footwork), he was DEADLY accurate with the ball. Wilson.... not so much for me - or maybe I'm just not seeing the genius.

So..... don't say them?

Herbert walked into a dream situation though - good Oline, throwing to Allen and Henry.

He's as much of a risk for much less cost.

Ideally I want my entire Oline to be wired that way. Weirdly you usually don't find LTs that play like that - they're usually more finesse players - but LG - RT I want guys there that want to bury defenders.

I'm all for trading down from #8 if the right offer comes along. Both Sewell and Slater lack the physical dimensions you want to see from a LT - neither is long enough. The guys that DO have those dimensions are lacking elsewhere in their game, but I'd be willing to take that risk later in the Draft. I actually think Sewell eventually becomes a very good OG in the NFL btw, when he works out his technique.

I'd honestly be incredibly tempted to take Fields if he was there at #8. For this very reason.

And struggles with speed on the edge.

The one I always loved was (in terms of it hitting hard right from the off like the glass shattering):

I think they add up to the value of our third round pick this year, if I'm not mistaken.

Oh boy, this kid is in for a shock in a few weeks time. When everyone else on the roster is killing themselves to get better and he's all "I could live without football". That's a bigger red flag than anything Jones / Fields / Wilson have done.

Watson is plutonium right now.

Jaelan Phillips is incredible.
