Where would you draft them?

Recommended Posts

Based on both the fact they'd be coming to play for us, which of the following QBs would you take #1 overall if they were coming out now?

Feel free to use what they have done in their NFL careers to date to help you decide, but keep in mind they wouldn't be getting drafted by whatever team did draft them, but by us.

1) Big Ben

2) Freeman

3) Matt Ryan

4) Joe Flacco

5) Stafford

6) Mark Sanchez

7) Vince Young

8) Alex Smith

edit: Feel free to say where you WOULD draft them if not #1 too, if you wish to.

Matt Ryan

The situation he came into in ATL was very similar to what we have now, so his transition should be just as smooth. Also, I think Rivera would have taken the reins off him a lot quicker than Smith, they still don't let him air it out all that much. And, for the icing on the cake, if we draft him, then ATL can't have him. :p

Yes I think so, he was a talent, and showed it even through some bad times in the rookie year. Heck, Clausen has shown bits of promise, but all the bad has clouded some eyes about him.

Hurney actually went on the radio and listed off a bunch of times Clausen showed promise. It sounded kind of like Cyberjag had taken over our GM's body, but hey.

This is an interesting way to get a look at what expectations people have for a #1 QB.

Now this is the reason to take Ryan, IMO. :D

I wasn't exactly asking for you guys to rate them, I was asking for which of em you'd draft #1 or at least where you'd draft them. Though hey, anything works :)

edit:

I'll be honest, I was expecting more people to put Big Ben at the top of that list as going #1 overall.

I'd take Ryan #1 overall and tbh, that might be it. Would seriously look at Big Ben too, but I think it's too early on Freeman. Maybe not though!

Its hard to say who I would take number 1 considering most of them are early in there careers and without knowing who else is on the draft board with them. Its all fairly circumstantial.

Also how did you come to that list? That is an interesting assortment of quarterbacks.

    • 2 games is simply not enough to judge what we have with these guys.   I think it's clear the defense needs talent. Offense is actually in a pretty good position with our Oline and RB. Maybe we can upgrade the WR position other than that most of our issues are on defense. This should be a simple draft for us.    
    • I realize that the coaches see the players on the roster and practice squad at practice, but there are several players I want to see play substantial minutes in a game situation.  I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE START ALL THESE PLAYERS--I AM SUGGESTING THAT WE GIVE SOME MEANINGFUL PLAYING TIME TO A FEW FROM THIS LIST.  This article about 2022 draft pick (Bears) Velus Jones led to this thread:   https://oldnorthbanter.com/panthers-urged-to-give-former-draft-bust-a-chance-entering-season-s-final-games-01jfzg7bj02n Velus Jones, WR/RB/KR:  Very fast and can be elusive. The article compares him to a Cordarrelle Patterson. Stood out at 2022 SR Bowl.  Drafted in the third round (I think) by Bears.  I did not know he was on the roster.  He is 27. Caleb Farley (CB/S):  He has had his fair share of injuries and his play has been sub par, but maybe the former first rounder was in the wrong position.  Let him face the LOS and move him to Safety.  His injuries (back and knee) and size 6' 2" 200 lbs make it tough to play CB, but I think he might be able to handle Safety, based on my limited knowledge of the skill sets for both positions.  For now, let him play CB, but if he looks decent, consider S. Demani Richardson (S):  Yes, he made a play last week.  Let him play more to see if it was a fluke or legit. Xavier Woods is set to become an UFA at age 30.  Jaden Crumedy (DT):  I have a feeling there will be some house cleaning at DT/DE (3-4) this offseason.  Ray and Tuttle have been embarrassing this season, and Ray becomes an ERFA.  Tuttle can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings.  A. Robinson has been average at best, but he is signed for 2 more seasons (he too can be cut post June 1 for a $6m savings).  We know we get Brown back and I am confident we draft a DT.  Can Crumedy work into the rotation?  What if we go 4-3?  We need some film on him playing from the 3 tech and the nose. Jacoby Windmon  (ILB)  I realize that he is playing, but  we need to put him in different situations to see how he looks. At 6-2, 250, he has the size to play ILB in a 3-4 or 4-3, but he has also had some reps as a DE in college, if I am not mistaken.  I would like to see him in coverage and blitzing.   He led the team in tackles last week (8).  Andrew Raym (C)   We may have something in Mays, but we need depth.  Can Raym play?  We'd have to bring him up from the PS, but he could step up and keep us from drafting a C late.    
    • Learning how to win is better than good draft position. Truthfully, it isn't about position, it's about evaluation. We suck at the later. Until you fix that issue, position will never matter at all.
