Sam Darnold..

Why do I keep thinking of Sam Donaldson.. I loved his reporting of the news but DAm..

How do I edit the topic?

You don’t, and we get to ridicule for it forever.
 

That’s just how the Internet works, man.

I realize that this is a panel of experts, but who decided that Mac Jones will not be a very good NFL QB?  I can name many with his skill set that have rings, mvps, and gold jackets.  77.4% completion, 42 TDs and 4 Ints, and 4500 yards in 13 games--the criticism?  He can't run and he had a good WR and good OL.

Then get him a good line.

Do not insult my intelligence by pretending to know squat.  You don't--nor do I.

And you title this, "The lesser of 2 evils" and give 5 options.  Nice.

I'm glad you felt the need to participate..lol

And I'm sorry if you needed to be so literal that you couldn't see I was just using the original saying as a way to explain the exercise...  The original saying isn't the lesser of 5 evils. 

All your novel opinion on MaC Jones is great and all but just go get a great Oline isn't a easy thing to do.. Just go get 2 great WR's a great TE and field a great defense as well right??

Reality at some point your QB should be able to cover for something.. Having a great Oline all the time for your QB to succeed isn't a realistic goal...

Need I list all the college QB's with video game stats that didn't make it in the NFL?

Mac Jones is not a top tier QB prospect. He is a low ceiling and relatively low floor guy. 

I wouldn't be against drafting him but, IMO, he's a 2nd round or later prospect. Taking him at 8 would be a fuging nightmare.

This is where people go off course.

None of these things bolded above are a skill set.  Those are statistics.

Skill set is things like ball velocity, arm strength, timing, anticipation, touch, accuracy, leadership, pocket presence, running, etc.

Jones has shown:  Touch, accuracy.  That's what we know of his skill set.  You know who else has those traits?  TB5.  Alex Smith.

Yes, many QB's with touch and accuracy have won rings.  But they also display many of the other traits I listed above.

      Germaine Pratt available

      Here is what I think (and I agree):  They like ILB and Rozeboom is good depth.  Cherelus was solid for a reserve (PFF score 63.8 in 158 snaps).  They like what they have seen from Ransom and Richardson at S so far, so we could have 3 starting-caliber safeties--no sense burying the young guys.  (I think we are going to like our Safeties as they are--I also think we will add one of our UDFA with great ST abilities.  They signed some really good athletes as UDFA safeties).  I just do not see Scott making the roster if they watch any of his 2024 film. At CB, they think they have 3 with two who played a little bit last year (each had fewer than 35 snaps--they held their own--both scoring in the upper 50s on PFF).  I think, if we add a player, we add a young CB much later who was cut during the preseason.  I believe they want a preseason to see what they have in Bartholomew and Evans and Thornton, for that matter.

      Think he'd likely take from Wallace not Jewell.

      AND if you are looking for reasons NOT to sign him, here are a few:  "Germaine Pratt has faced criticism for his performance, particularly in coverage and tackling, despite his high tackle numbers and turnover-generating ability. He's been described as struggling to cover ground in a nickel base (Hmmmm.  Wonder if we play that?) and having an aggressive play style that can leave gaps in the defense. Additionally, there were criticisms about his missed tackles and poor angles in pursuit, particularly in the 2024 season"     Don't get me wrong--his stats are impressive.  This must be a move to get a certain Edge player signed.
