I just don't see it. How many of those guys would you be happy with having spent a top 10 or even 1st round pick on? I'm coming up with maybe 10 off of a cherry picked list.

I will throw u a bone here...if Cam retired..what would U do in this draft?

Honestly, I still wouldn't draft a QB at 16. I'd take the BPA. I would consider taking a chance on Grier at 47. Having a massive need at QB wouldn't change my opinion of Jones as an NFL QB prospect.

Man...come on.  You would want Will Grier as our starter?  Wow.  All of your arguments are now oxymorons.

I would take Grier over Jones. I've watched Jones for years. I just don't think he's an NFL QB.

Remember, we're talking about PROSPECTS here. Every draft class has 1st rounders that bust and mid to late rounders that become All-Pros, yet every year around this time everyone wants to talk about highly touted guys (and their personal favorites) as if they're sure things. There's no such thing as a sure thing in the NFL draft.

I probably wouldn't take Grier above the 4th round, TBH. He screams 2nd or 3rd string QB, IMO. 

That is one thing we legit do have a decent shot at, getting a backup QB. Guys like Grier and Finley would be ideal backup QB's and could be available as late as the 3rd/4th.

Any other tidbits to share Verge? 

 

I'm kind of hoping we do get Grier. I know your source said he's a back up at best and I have to agree. Which is why I want him drafted. 

Grier could go as early as the 2nd and as late as the 4th, him and Tyree Jackson are kind of weird that way in where they could go, there is a lot of varied opinions on both, but it only takes one team.

From my personal scouting opinion, I would tend to agree with you, his ball velocity is just not at an NFL level, and he benefits a lot from the system around him. Solid backup who can get the ball out quick, but would struggle if schemed against.

No way Metcalf drops to us. Even if he did I still think we would pass on taking him.

I don’t care if he’s chizzled like a Greek God and is as fast as he is. I’d be pretty pissed if we drafted him with other potential options on the board...he’s getting so overhyped due to the combine...haven’t we all seen this movie before?

I’m not expecting him to either, and from a team standpoint,it would be better if he didn’t because a better fit player may fall in that case, however I’m not 100% opposed to not drafting Metcalf if he’s on the board, I feel like Rivera should be able to field a top 12 defense with what we have currently on the roster.  

Metcalf looks the part as far as potential to be the next dominate WR. I don’t know if you can pass on that If our blue chip guys are off the board or rated slightly lower 

aj brown is slept on too
