I just disagree but thats fine.  Like saying Jeudy is much better than Chase.  I just see things different.  Thats ok

Chase is the best WR in college football. And you can disagree with the opinion parts but there are no intelligent people on this planet who will tell you Tua was not better than Eason. Eason's best year was 2019 and it was the only year he completed over 60% of his passes. He averages 7.7 per attempt which was also his best. And he was just under 3:1 TD to INT ratio. 143 rating. Tua was better than that every year except his freshman year on completion percent. but even then... Eason completed 59% of his passes to Tua's 69%. Eason averages 7.1 a pass. Tua averaged 10.9.

Eason through a TD once every 20 passes. Tua averages a TD once every 8 passes.

Eason through an INT once every 49 passes. Tua was at one every 62 passes.

Tua's 17 rushing yards in 2019 was better than any year by Eason.

I hope he doesn’t mind being on IR by week 8

Not sure why you need to put Tua down to big up Eason. Tua was better in college on every metric you can grade them on. And if I recall correctly Eason missed more games than Tua in college. 

Could be, but I think it’s fair to say Bama is loaded with talent. Eason’s team, not nearly as much

Exactly...JaMar Chase wouldn't even sniff the field for Bama.

Eason at 7 would be worse than the Bears trading up and passing on Mahomes and Watson to take Trubisky. It would set the Panthers franchise back for years. This is a guy who couldn't beat out one of the most overrated QBs in years in Jake Fromm. Hard pass.

UGA when he was there was loaded with talent. I would also add that he is now also playing against worst competition.

Ja'Marr Chase. Absolutely ridiculous take to think that Chase would not have started for Bama. He was the best WR in the country. The only guy going into the season who was projected to be better was Jerry Juedy but guess what? He still would have started as the 2. If you want to say Eason is playing with lesser talent that is accurate but he is also throwing against defenses with lesser talent that that of the SEC.

Chase is good...just yanking your chain man.

I think everyone here understands that a QB at #7 isn't in the cards.  Our realistic shot is in round 2.  That said, I hope Herbert is gone and we pass on Love.  Those two guys have bust written all over them.  Fromm, Eason and Hurts I am good with in round 2.

Most people are likely ok with a QB in round 2 for us if we took BPA in round 1. The issue will be we have Cam on the roster, Kyle Allen on the roster, we just used one of our draft slots last year to take a QB in round 3 and now we are going to take another in round 2? I honestly don't care what we pick. I will follow and support the team regardless and understand that the top 2 QBs I want between this year and next year just won't be in the cards for us.

[Shocker]

Ideally we get Eason in the second and use the 7 pick elsewhere...I really question whether Eason will last till the second.  I guess its possible.

Yup, I'm pounding the table for LT and QB, in that order.  We have CMC, Moore and Samuel.  If we can solidify the first two spots then the team will be set for a period of time assuming everyone above re-signs after their rookie deals are up. If Thomas pans out, then we are good at TE too.  Everything on the offensive side of the ball is really hinging on LT and QB.

Posting this before the combine and all the offseason eval but I am fairly sure I want to secure his services.  Whether we keep Cam or not he would be an amazing draft pick, yeah even at 7.  Love the moxie and amazing arm talent.  Go get him Hurney.  He is my #2 QB in this draft all thing considered.

Bash away.

I think he got a raw deal at UGa.  He has a high of a ceiling as Stafford

[Wolfcop]

I think now, moreso than ever, we are going BPA with every pick. Other than RB, we can use an upgrade on just about every position on the team. No need to reach for anyone in any round. Build it the right way and see the benefits in a few years.
