I want Lance at 8, and I do not think someone will trade up to 5 to get him. Or 6 or 7. Several mock drafts don’t have him going in the first round at all. It’s a need pick and it’s one we should make. I’ll go on record as saying I want one or two guys in the first round: Lance or Sewell.

Lance isn't my guy, but I wouldn't be upset if we took him. There's a lot to like about the kid and he has the look of a modern QB and seems to have good leadership skills.

What worries me about him is that he is SOOOOO young and has SOOOO little experience as a QB, even going back to high school. He has the arm, he can move like a Maserati, but does he have enough experience to read a defense and process the info? Does he have the maturity to dig in and keep working when the game gets tough or the team racks up a couple of losses in a row? Has he seen enough of the game to really influence it and bend both teams to his will?

That's a lot for a kid who will turn 21 in May. Still, he looks the part, really looks the part.

Pretty weird for someone who Chris Simms thinks is a 2nd round pick at best 😉

Seriously, Chris Simms probably watched the 1 game this season and based it on that.  How hard would it be to prepare for 1 game?  I can't imagine everything in the program was running normally-must have seemed like playing in the Spring Practice game.

Pretty much this. There's a lot to like about the talent. If we're sold on the guy and draft him, I'll root like hell for him.

He was running a pro-style offense--albeit not throwing a whole lot--reading defenses and calling his own plays during the first year that he was the man. That should say something about his mental acuity for the game.

He will become my draft crush and be there at 8, while we draft Mac...

That happens to me every year--the guy I want is sitting there and then we take a guy I had scratched off my list.

Mac has me intrigued--I think boom or bust is the best way to describe him.  While most Huddlers are not in the Jones camp, I see the potential for him to be great in the right system.  They say, "Yeah, but at Bama he had a great OL and WRs"  That would be "the right system".   So I see both sides--but I post "Pro Jones" stuff because there is literally NOTHING statistically that says, "write him off."  Nothing.  So what are people seeing that they don't like?  They want a mobile qb and he aint that.  Gonna be a fun six or seven weeks.

Good point.  I see something special in him--he will need the right system.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Richard Sherman got dog piled for basically saying he didn't stand out as a WR prospect but looked elite as a CB prospect. A few months ago you could find other players commenting on his limited route tree and raw route running but the search algorithms are flooded with love affair right now. The guy is the best CB prospect in years and he'll contribute on offense too. That is the absolute opposite of a knock on the guy. It's just the people buying into him being a full time two way player in the NFL like he was at Colorado who gets their panties in a wad over just stating the simple reality that he ain't gonna be a full time two way player at the NFL level with 17 games seasons and no Travis Hunter fan should want that either if you want the guy to make it to a second contract.

      You do know you have to be invited to College GameDay? They called him out there and asked him about it and he answered it. And do you think he would have this type of interactions with a coach he doesn't have that type of relationship with? You're reaching to the furthest extent lol. I've seen a video of Hunter literally getting cursed out by Shedeur by not catching a BAD pass from Sanders and he didn't say anything just went out and caught a TD pass the next play! A "diva" would've got into a shouting match with his QB

      WHAT?!?!?!?! Honestly for the life of me, I can't figure out what you're saying here.  How are you saying their supporting casts cancel each other out and Hunter STILL had the better season? The supporting cast is LITERALLY the reason that he had the better season statistically.  If you put T-Mac on Colorado in place of Hunter, I'm 100% convinced he'd have had better stats than Hunter did, as he already had almost the same number of catches, and more yards, with a significantly worse QB and with zero other offensive weapons to take any attention away from him like Hunter had. If you think Hunter having 7 more TDs is more because of Hunter vs T-Mac and not because Hunter's QB had literally DOUBLE the number of TD's this year than T-Mac's QB, then I have some Arizona oceanfront property to sell you.
