what does this have to do with the corona beer virus?

Typical research!! Probably the most realistic QBs available if we go that route!! But I hope not.. hope we go Brown or Simmons!

Good photo op as long as everyone picking after us who is in need of a QB to draft thinks we are interested.

Good way of putting it.

I hope so.

Another QB?  Why not, doesn't hurt to have more than 1 capable QB.  If Hurney thinks this guy can compete, then we add him.

[Shocker]

Hurney is picking this dude...why else is he in fuggin Oregon

Covering the bases.

Piecing it together for y'all with my conspiracy theories:
Marty was at Auburn earlier in the week, if I am not mistaken. He also met with Brown at the Combine.  Now he is in Oregon-after seeing Herbert play in the SR bowl--and after Herbert refused to acknowledge whether he has spoken to Carolina.  In addition, Jerry Jeudy met with the Panthers at the combine, as did Javon Kinlaw, who said that Matt Rhule seemed to really like him.  

Now they are calling off the visits for a while---

I am not certain about Simmons.  There is no indication that anyone has visited him.  After the combine, I wonder if he is an option, anyway.

So what do we KNOW:

Campus Visits:  Derrick Brown and Justin Herbert

Other First rounders with whom we have met:  Jerry Jeudy, Javon Kinlaw

Here is my conspiracy theory, free of charge:  The photo seems to indicate a private workout in Eugene (correction: Thursday--today--was Oregon's pro day).  Herbert did not answer the question about meeting with Carolina at the combine during the Cam controversy.  If we are interested enough to fly 3000 miles for a private workout (if that is what it was), we met with Herbert at the combine.  If we asked him to keep it quiet, that would explain his answer; in another interview, he answered the question about the Patriots.  Brown is the realistic pick, with Jeudy and Kinlaw possible if we trade back.  However, if they like Herbert enough and he falls far enough, they will take him.  Remember that they also like Florida International's James Morgan, a raw QB with the tools to develop for a season behind Cam.

So if Herbert falls to #7, he is the QB of the future.  If he does not, we either take Brown or trade back; someone might fall in love with Love.  If we move back, Kinlaw is the pick, and Jeudy is a possibility as well.

What happens to Cam?  If they can trade him, they will--if they get Herbert.  If they do not, we just re-signed Allen and will draft Morgan. Cam could play in 2020 or he could get the commitment he demanded--on this team or another.

I can say that I am impressed with Cam's hard work.  He is Hongray.  I just think the timing is wrong.

Marty the only GM at the Oregon pro day? 

Oh my.

That won't sit well in one particular camp.

I'd say there's a chance we trade back into the first round to get him if Herbert falls below say pick #12. 

We're still going DT with the #7 pick.
