Yeah, the raider example was not a good one. I saw the chart afterwards and was surprised to see how much the value decreased in the 1rst round as you moved down.
As I recall selecting Jordan Love lit a fire under Aaron Rodgers and he turned in two MVP seasons. Maybe it could do the same for Stafford.
Certainly possible. He really is gifted as a run threat, but again in the NFL you must be able to win from that pocket IMO if you want to survive long years and get the most from that position. Being dependent on read option concepts can help a young QB early on in slowing the rush as they sweat the contain, but as you get older you lose speed and defenses become accustomed over time to stopping those concepts as more running QBs proliferate. It's like being dependent on the outside zone, defenses learn after years of Shanahan family run game terror how to shut it down and now even Shanny has to mix in power concepts.
I am looking at it also as a guy that can help you this year with McVay's innovated playcalls as a gadget guy. Adds explosiveness to the offense if they can get him the ball in certain situations.
I agree with this. He is one of the only QB's that we could pick that would almost certainly contribute something this year. McVay did mention he wanted to have a more versatile offense, this would do the trick.
He also would not threaten Stafford for at least 2 tears so it gives Stafford the idea that he can easily be back next year without any drama. A guy like Dart may wow the crowd enough in preseason or during a short back up stint that it could throw that into question and create controversy.
Yeah, Milroe could be useful in some ways but I doubt he ever develops into a starting QB. I think the Seahawks head coach may be looking at him as the next Lamar Jackson. They have two second rounders and two thirds. They could pick him early.
I am not his biggest fan I hope that is not the plan.
If they target him for his overall ability where he could impact games next year as a gadget, hopefully they trade back into rd 2 and get an extra 3rd and a 5th, to get those extra picks to still address CB, LB etc...
I may be his biggest fan but also agree that shouldnt be the plan.
Jordan Love was a true first round talent. I don’t think Stafford felt that drafting Stetson Bennett lit a fire under him.
Jordan Love was a borderline 1st round talent at best. He threw 17 INTs vs. 20 TDs his final season in college for goodness sakes. His nfl.com draft profile even says 1st OR 2nd round (Interestingly enough he was selected #26 overall).
I think in this draft, Love would be the second best QB, and a clear first rounder, likely top ten.
I don't, but the key is what does McSnead thinks. But I'll say it again if the are in love with a QB on the board at #26, they would be foolish to pass on said player.
Agree, and with a coach like McVay, they won't draft a QB for the sake of drafting a QB. They will have to love that QB since they are looking for a potential future starter.
