Fields + Sauce vs. Willis + Horn  

18 members have voted

  1. 1. Knowing what you know about Fields/Horn after one year and the current state of our roster, which combination would you prefer long-term?

    • Fields in '21 & Gardner in '22
      11
    • Willis in '22 & Horn in '21
      7

Fields/Gardner for sure. If Fields was in this draft class he'd be the slam dunk #1 QB prospect which was a point I made last year around this time - Fields had the make up of a #1 overall draft pick in most draft classes. Last year's QB class was just extremely strong on paper.

I do have to wonder though... just how bad were his interviews, OSU coach feedback, etc? Because him slipping to 9th overall still doesn't make sense to me.

So another slam dunk losing season?

Fitts had alluded to it. At some point, you have to stop pushing the chips off to the future and start swinging at QB and keep swinging until you get a hit. And as we've found out, cast off vets have by far the lowest batting percentage. The vets we actually want want no part of us.

I thought I remembered him not being great during interviews, but you can't trust anyone during that timeframe in the NFL or media.

I wasn't a big fan of his, but I do like him more than Willis...I probably prefer Pickett or Corral to both though.

I'll be shocked if Pickett doesn't bust hard. The guy just isn't that good.

Absolute ceiling IMO is Kirk Cousins. Floor is David Carr.

During draft time I always look forward to @Soul Rebel insights, but it seems like you are having the same issues others are having with this draft.

Good question- Im no fields fan at all, but for me Sauce(special player) and Fields are clear the choice. 

Im even ready to draft Sauce given the riches at CB, Im that into his game.

    • Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.   
    • Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
