Probably because the social/mainstream media already told them what to think and because they didn’t even actually watch the combine. One of my coworkers text me saying “we taking Bryce Young brody. He look good at the combine!” I replied with laughing emojis and just left it alone.
I've already done that with the PFF draft simulator. I missed on every QB I wanted.
Jeremiah is a 3 time loser. 3 scouting jobs in 6 years. Jeremiah is no Mayock, that's for sure. Those who get fired, talk on TV.
He’s probably going in the second or third. No way he goes past the 4th round.
You can say that about just about every QB in this draft. There are things to like and things to worry about. Do the Texans have the staff in place to coach up a rookie QB? That's an unknown for us, but Purdy did pretty well for himself. Trey Lance, so far, has not. Kind of a mixed bag of expectations.
I was watching the video posted above.
That's actually not the worst on an interim 1-2 year basis, to draft Richardson and play him mostly in RPO packages 4-8 times/game while he (hopefully) develops into a starter. He doesn't appear to be best suited in a WCO though, so not expecting Richardson to be drafted. But if Caserio falls in love with that talent and takes him, Richardson could have material impact on the offense from the get go - the way Hill in New Orleans does.
Bennett did in fact make the most to improve his draft value while one of the two most hyped players opted to sit the drills out, and the other couldn’t hit his receivers in stride to save his life. Although not a deal breaker, I’m a little concerned by CJ not being able to put that ball in front of those receivers and instead making all of them have to slow down to not outrun the ball. He didn’t even hit one of the receivers in stride. I was impressed by a couple of the QBs that nobody is talking about. Could be a few diamonds in the rough in them mid rounds.
I don’t think Bennett makes it out of the 1st round.
14 traits required of an NFL quarterback; and most comments being posted here are going ga-ga over the one trait which the combine measures - arm talent.
Yeah, I didn't watch the combine workouts for these QB's. I only watched the one video posted above, that showed Stroud and Richardson throwing deep balls. I don't know what they did in other drills, but from that video, Stroud wasn't accurate, and Richardson was. It doesn't mean I'm a fan of Richardson, it just means that in this one video Richardson looked better. I still wouldn't take any of the QB's in this draft with our 1st round picks.
But the hype. As advertised every year. LOL.
I watched the combine tape of Stroud throwing. I don't put a ton of stock into QBs making most of these throws in absence of a defense and WR repeating similar routes. I thought Stroud looked ok - he made some of those deep go route and was a short or slightly long on others. He was fine. I don't get the fawning some of twitter or making of it.
I would not be surprised to see him go on Day 2. More productive and have better stats than Stroud, Young, and Levis. If he was consistently doing it in college better than everyone else, he can likely do it in the NFL. I do understand how some are influenced by the media's perception.

I wonder what Nick does if he drafts BPA at 1.2 and 1.12 instead of either one of those hyped up QBs, and Bennett is still there when we’re on the clock in the 2nd round?I would not be surprised to see him go on Day 2. More productive and have better stats than Stroud, Young, and Levis.

You have to give Kirby Smart a lot of credit for all of the athletes he recruits for UGA.Darnell Washington pushing the sled quite easily. Looks slender but powerful.
Whoa
Good stuff banned and I understand that completely. The dude I was talking about is actually doing the polar opposite of what you said right here. I looked at the combine on yesterday. Both Stroud and Richardson looked good. Both players threw the deep ball with ease. The only problem I saw with Richardson was his accuracy on those sideline passes.
I just can’t fault that strategy in this draft with these QBs. I really can’t fault moving up into the end of the 1st and snagging him and I think that’s what will happen with a team. I don’t think they would wait and let him get snagged just ahead of them and they want that 1st round 5th year.I wonder what Nick does if he drafts BPA at 1.2 and 1.12 instead of either one of those hyped up QBs, and Bennett is still there when we’re on the clock in the 2nd round?
Maybe because he's 24 and turning 25 within the NFL season? I kind of viewed him as a game manager type of not really gifted with arm talent. Kinda answered some of that throwing 55-60 yard bombs with ease on the money. Physique looked solid too. At the very least, his performance is going to have scout teams reconsider and rewatch some of his tape.
Nah...Stetson Bennet is more likely to go in the 5th round or later.
He’s a 190lb
It will come down to what Slowik and DeMeco want to do about QB and when.I wonder what Nick does if he drafts BPA at 1.2 and 1.12 instead of either one of those hyped up QBs, and Bennett is still there when we’re on the clock in the 2nd round?
Against purified air and humidity weighing in at 40%.
. Confident in saying that this is the most athletic QB I've ever seen overall (speed, power, measurables package) at this point. Someone's going to take him very early and it wouldn't even surprise me if he's the first QB taken.
I am asking your opinion - not the bettor's market.
Small anecdote of a non-football play, but man is this guy athletic. Here's Richardson doing a flat-footed backflip—actually *over-rotating* slightly and falling back. This is a 6'4, 244lb man. Pretty confident in saying that this is the most athletic QB I've ever seen overall (speed, power, measurables package) at this point. Someone's going to take him very early and it wouldn't even surprise me if he's the first QB taken.
without having to throw against a blitzing defense, just the air and the humidity. That's all.That's a funny way to say in an NFL stadium under the exact conditions that it will be on game days. Goddam
Whoa x2!!!!Darnell Washington pushing the sled quite easily. Looks slender but powerful.
Whoa
Still pass on Bennet. He might take shot on Hooker in the 2nd though.I wonder what Nick does if he drafts BPA at 1.2 and 1.12 instead of either one of those hyped up QBs, and Bennett is still there when we’re on the clock in the 2nd round?
LZ broke down some of his game tape and he thought his foot work and mechanics were good if I remember correctly.
I’d be super happy if Nick drafted Hendon Hooker in the 3rd round. I think he’ll still be there early 3rd but then again, Nick should go get him in the 2nd if that’s his guy, or another team will.
Hyatt has that extra gear you can't see in a 40 yd dash. Remember when Prime said Hester had next man speed? That's Hyatt to a T. If the ball is in the air and it looks likes its going to be overthrown, Hyatt has that extra burst. I thought he would run a 4.35, but 4.4 is more than fast enough. The guy who ran the 4.26 from Michigan was giving up plays and completions all day.

So he was the only one throwing in that condition huh?
