  • I'd pick neither and wait for Jameis.

    I'll bet you have an orange & brown shirt that says, "Wait 'til next year"

  • "I'd pick neither and wait for Jameis."

    That would be a hell of a crapshoot. They have the picks this year.

    And there's no clear #1 QB. Just having the picks doesn't magically mean the quality is there. This is a year where there's 4 or 5 guys who could turn out to be good or turn out to suck.

    No, but I do have about 12 jerseys of QB's not on this team anymore.

  • Starting to like Walterfootball again... his latest mock

    1 - Brett Hundley - QB - UCLA

    1b - Marquise Lee - WR - USC

    2 - Ryan Shazier - LB - OSU

    3a - Deone Bucannon - S - Wash St

    3b - Carlos Hyde - RB - OSU

    If Hundley declares, he'd be a good pick but he would have to sit for a year or so. He is not the type of polished QB who would jump right in. We'd be looking at Hoyer/Campbell next year as our starter with Hundley learning from the Belichick/Brady disciple - Hoyer, and 2 good QB coaches in Norv and Chud.

    Replace Hyde with Dyer and I'm all in on this draft.

    Who could argue with that draft.

  • @tim-couch-pulls-out said:

    Yes. Most quarterbacks have thrown 60 yard passes while under zero pressure to wide open receivers.

    How about this one? Looks like a ton of pressure and he doesn't even step into the throw. That thing is thrown on a rope from about the 17 and ends up near the 20 yard line. That's about 63 yards in the air.

    One of us clearly does not know the meaning of "thrown on a rope"... and it ain't me...

    @cuwoohio said:

    "I'd pick neither and wait for Jameis."

    That would be a hell of a crapshoot. They have the picks this year.

    And there is absolutely nothing that prevents us from rolling some of our 2014's out to and up in the 2015 draft.

    As Shep has said... no way are we actually going to draft a player with each of the 2014's we currently hold.

    @cuwoohio said:

    Who could argue with that draft.

    I'l be happy to if no one else wants it... 😉

    For starters, I don't see Hyde lasting all the way to our 3b...

    There are a lot of mirages in this QB desert. While I am starting to warm to Hundley, I'm just not there yet.

    So far the only risk/ reward pick I see as worthy in this draft remains as it has been... McCarron in the third... perhaps late second.

    ***************************************************************

    Here's my bottom line on this whole topic...

    Our FO is responsible for putting two, good NFLcalibere QBs on our season opening roster. By going 2 for 2 I'm willing to accept theirjudgmentt if and when they take a QB in the 2014 draft.

    Ditto if they opt to trade away picks and/ or players for a current NFL QB.

    I wouldn't be opposed to McCarron but I don't believe he's on the FO's radar.

    Based off what we know, Chud and Norv have, for the better part of the last decade, nearly always had guys who oozed athletic talent with Howitzer arms. They haven't always been the most mobile (I'm looking at you, DA), but the one common denominator has been above average arm strength.

    I don't know why that would change now, especially with them together again.

    I think we'd see a Mettenberger before a McCarron.

    @tour2ma said:

    Sure it's not thrown in a direct straight line with no arc, but that's about as flat and fast as you can possibly throw a ball 60+ yards.

  • Completion percentage on balls thrown 6 yards or more.

    Derek Carr= 54%

    Johnny Manziel= 65%

    Just sayin....

    With Mettenberger's draft slot dropping dramatically post injury, I have far less of a problem with us picking him. Never saw him as a #1 though.

    Fair enough...

  • Romo or Weeden?

  • Romo by far. Are you kidding?

  • Last night on SNF Peter King said a team likely to pick in the top 5 was very high on Blake Bortles, could very well be the Browns.

    Any word on this guy?

    That's kind of what he is. He makes ridiculous plays when he shouldn't.

    Like this one:

    He has a good frame, nice arm and average speed. But most of all, he's scrappy. He singlehandedly finishes plays, a quality that all AFC North QB's possess.

    Except Weeden.

    He could stand some coaching, however. I think it would be great for him to come on and wait for a year behind Hoyer.

  • who are the top 5 QBs coming out this year (as of now)?

    take a look at that list and by 3/2014 the positions of those QBs will not be the same and some might not even be on the list anymore.

  • Even better mock draft by Charlie Campbell on walterfootball.com ...

    1a. Sammy Watkins - WR - Clemson

    1b. Derek Carr - QB - Fres St

    2. Ka'deem Carey - RB - Arizona

    3a. A.J. Johnson - ILB - Tennessee

    3b. Tre Boston - CB - UNC

    These guys are mock drafting us right to the Super Bowl...

  • The first 10 pick mock draft on SI.com this morning had Carr going in the top 10. But did have us taking Watkins with our first first round pick.
