And the thing is hes so young. I think hes 20 right now? he wont turn 21 until after the draft.... He's still very much growing... All of these guys have ups and down and are a gamble. I'm a betting man I go with AR15... in the second tound try to land washington or Gibbs and call it a night look towards what could be a bright future.

Richardson wasnt going to be there at 9.

https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/anthony-richardson-nfl-football-florida-gators written by Richardson today.

This... its a conundrum... Like I said glad my job isnt on the line making the decision. Steve Smith said when talking about Richardson "nobody wants to be the guy who passed on amazon or telsa". It's kinda like that... a early investment that could turn out to be huge.

Your at number 1.... go for the homer or draft a guy who is like 10-15 best in the league like say dak would be a super let down at number 1. Richarson has never before seen traits. Young has the same but in a negative light as far as weight and size. As amazing as he is.. best ability is availability. Stroud just seems safe like high floor... no super defining generational traits. jack of all trades master of none.. This whole qb debate is really interesting tho..glad I dont have to make it.

then theres this today

Media sources really all have insidered saying the same thing. But Its been a consistent thing that the head coach loves AR. I wouldnt get to caught up in it because in 2018 everyone knew Sam Darnold was the pick. and then josh Rosen all above a athletic marvel like Josh Allen. Baker ended up going number 1 because they fell in love with him... fact is nobody knows right now i doubt they even know. they still doing meetings and 1 on 1s

If you discount all this https://hailfloridahail.com/2023/04/07/florida-football-panthers-hc-wants-to-take-richardson-first-overall/ https://www.nfl.com/videos/frank-reich-on-qb-anthony-richardson-he-s-an-exciting-player https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article273730840.html

This isnt a awful idea. The huddle will hate it because its a gamble. Boom or bust.l.. No middle ground.But your talking about a guy with unseen talent in a class where there is no sure fire number 1 guy. There are safe and decent prospects but no cant miss. At Young and Strouds best thats what they are.... AT ARs best hes a generational talent.

as a guy who believes you always go with upside. I lovd AR15. is hethe most pro ready no. but if we are beting on traits and upside he hasthe most and instantly day 1 is top 5 in the league at something. the floor is high in thar aspect. coach the rest... If we trying to make one of these guys have the skills to go head to head with mahomes and burrows of the world.. I think its him.

wait Verge is a female?? All the years I been thinking this dude was full of bs.

I don't think he's nearly as good a runner as Cam. everything else he does as well or better. But running ability pure speed and even power...No.

I am all in on drafting Richardson at 9 if we stay at 9. High upside develop him for a year or hell even let him get some playing time running rpos and such in packages. Sign a vet or even keep Darnold. Keep all those CMC picks and fill out the roster.

He has been gaining steam to go number 1. his vegas odds have went up a lot. https://247sports.com/Article/2023-NFL-Draft-Anthony-Richardson-usurps-Bryce-Young-CJ-Stroud-as-No-1-QB-in-latest-CBS-Sports-mock-205147850/#:~:text=The Indianapolis Colts select Anthony,board in his most recent i

He's a tackle by craft...But so was Brady Christensen...

Even so I can't see this happening. Where is this kid going to play? we going to release Moton? seems like wasting draft capital to me. If we dont go Qb i would think Edge or TE maybe even linebacker before tackle.

wrong image fixed.

well looks like we finally landed our franchise tackle....

are we going to compare Bijon Robinson to Clyde edwards elire in terms of talent. people like to say RBs are a dime a dozen but those who are more than just a RB cant be haf outside the first.

You dont get quality waiting on guys to fall. Robinson is an eliye talent and legit top 10 prospect. look what we have donr with second 3rd and so on picks the last decade even. most of them are bad to bust. quality over quantity.

This is a bad draft. Most say there are only about 14 true first round picks in this draft with Robinson being one of them and a top 10 pick. yeah you can get fine and decent production from other guys. This isnt a question of that. It's do you gamble on elite production.

Your talking in terms of contracts? yeah sure it was awful. But im speaking in terms of draft capital and return. You got arugably the best rb in the game who redefines the position. An all time leader for our franchise in a franchise that has invested heavily in the position historically. On the back end of that you were were able to trade him for a 2,3,4,5 i think which is of huge value for a rb on his secone contract. Rbs this day and age never return a second. you got almost 1st round value for a guy you rode into the ground.

I'm sure you could say the same of most franchises right up til say mid Payton Manning Era. It was a rushing league now its a passing one. I agree off the ball linebackers are not great investments but those who rush the passer are. 2 different things. Just like RBs who can be a aasset in the passing game(like CMC) guys who are special are exceptions to the rule.
