2018 Draft Pick Discussion

[badboy]

Depends on your definition of what a QB is.

Watt has taken snaps at QB, is he a QB?

and you wonder why posters criticize you? Come on man. We know more about Watson than we do about any future draft QB. I am sure you would agree that he has strong possibility of being a franchise type QB which would be worth more than he cost. He can be less than that and still be worth the costs. You don't wait until next year if a franchise QB is 'now'.

He knew what my point was and I was making a point to him.

As for the rest of the post, it depends on how good you think Watson will be. He better be pretty darn good since next yrs draft was basically traded away to fix the continuing screw ups at the QB position.

I guess if Watson doesn't work out then we wont be seeing XSF/oKoYe type picks from Ricky in next yrs very strong draft. Looking on the bright side.

lol looking on bright side is thinking the draft appears to be deep in our areas of need + some of those areas may have more than one player to resolve the 'weakness'.

Don't really see any reason as of now to believe that next year's qb class will produce significantly better prospects than this one. Especially when one of the top QBs (Josh Allen) sports a 56% completion rate in the MWC while another (Lamar Jackson) Is 6'3 and barely 200 lbs.

I'm still not sure about Allen, but the low completion percentage can be explained in that he played in a pro offense, and rarely throw behind the LOS.
I just quickly rewatched the Nebraska game; he threw just two of those all game.
There was at least 6 times he had to throw the ball away due to pressure.
He did have a bad game, with 5 Ints.
One bounced off the hands of the receiver, and two were due directly to pressure. Yes, they are still mistakes, but young players can do that when they try to do too much, playing from behind.
Whether he learns from that is the key.
After all, it was his first year starting.

yeah but there are QBs with way better rates than Allen and projected to be there when we select. I do agree with you saying (I think) it was good to get Watson.

No knock on Watson, but I still think Beathard (or Kizer) plus an Olineman, plus a first in 2018 is a safer bet.

Darnold/Rosen and Stidham are all better QB prospects than any of the QB's in the 2017 draft. IMHO

Swap out Beathard/Kizer for Peterman and I agree completely.

Bit early on Stidham, with his 100 ncaa attempts thus far. And I believe the jury's still out on Rosen as well. How will he mature into a grown up pro, specifically. Darnold may be lights out though.
