1. Ridder 2. Howell 3. Pickett 4. Strong 5. Zappe 6. Willis

All around underwhelming and disappointing. No one commanded a round 1 pick. Late 2nd round value as a project at best for this bunch. Top 50 picks are for players you believe will make an impact in year 1.

ASU RB Rachaad White looked good

QBs never gave the receivers a chance to shine even when they got open.

The Darnold move was more of Rhule banking on himself, thinking he was the smartest coach in the league. No one else was that interested for a reason and we were basically bidding against ourselves. The his arrogance jumps to a $18.5 million extension because he was so confident he could “fix” a QB the league had already given up on… If McAdoo really liked Allen and Mahomes the best in their class, he is liking the higher risk/reward QBs. If he is having any influence and we are looking at QBs, Willis probably has his attention. Rhule might be still thinking he can fix Darnold…

If we take a quarterback (and I'm in the "hope we don't but think we will" crowd) I know both Rhule and Fitterer are high on Pickett, so I'd be surprised if he's not the guy.

Willis being a project doesn't really benefit Rhule all that much in the "save my ass" quest.

I was really interested in seeing him and agree. Dissapointed.

Same. Really wanted to see him against better competition... well, I did. Not good.

Great touch passer. But he doesn't have a fast ball and his range is about 40 yards max. That just doesn't get it done at the NFL level. He's basically a very poor man's Teddy. I need some convincing at this point to think he can even be backup caliber

Zappe put up video game numbers in college but he got exposed today as simply not an NFL QB. He doesn't have an NFL arm. I mean, not even close. I thought he was an intriguing mid-round pick prior to today. I honestly wouldn't draft him after today. I don't think he's a draftable prosect.

I would take him in the 4th-5th. He is a very good #2 QB.

But, not for a team like us.

After today, honestly I wouldn't. I don't think he's draftable. Wide open passes to mid-range targets. That's where he excels. Those are rare in the NFL, particularly when the defense knows you can't beat them deep.

But is he worst than PJ Walker? 

If that is the line, I think he makes sense for us.

Outside of that, absolutely makes zero sense.

Fair. At least there is some potential upside with Zappe but the cost depends on the round. 

What's the upside? I could see more upside with a prospect dripping with physical talent who was raw as hell. At least there would be upside. I just think Zappe is probably as good as he's ever going to get because I don't think there's any addition physical ceiling there to strive for.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By frankw · Posted

      It amuses me how Goff's name the last few years is often used to compare to subpar or underperforming QB's. Now on the surface I get it. But when you look at his numbers he's been the same QB all along. He's improved his completion % but even with the Rams he averaged 63.4. And that Super Bowl he played in they should have won honestly. If we can get a QB as good as Goff I'll be pretty damn pleased.

      And it remains to be seen if Goff has that ability or not. Plenty of very good QB's like Goff were not able to get over those playoff humps. Matt Ryan, Kirk Cousins, etc. You can still be an upper tier QB and never get over that hurdle. McVay just thought(and hasn't been wrong yet) Goff was never going to be that guy.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      You literally simply have to think logically for either of those guys. Smith is locked up on a deal for 2025, so we would have to trade for him or he gets cut. Neither of those scenarios are likely in the first place.  Wilson will be 37 in 2025. Why on earth would he have any interest in a situation that is far worse than he was given in Denver and wasn't able to win there? He's a guy that can drop into any ready to win franchise in the NFL and immediately elevate their chances of winning(provided they already have QB issues).  Frankly, that is either speculation that even David Newton should be embarrassed by or it shows how disconnected with reality some people in our organization are.   I do agree with him on getting a veteran QB, however. That's our best chance to keep developing our talent.
