Is the biggest Peterman fan on the board REALLY about to weigh in?!?

FWIW, I think that he will bring value in the QB room. Fromm is smart and competitive. It’s not bad value at this point. My objection is to those that will get carried away with the “championship level QB from UGA.” He’s a backup in the NFL (and has a chance to be a good one). The question is, “is he Aaron Murray?” “Is he Chase Daniels?” “Is he AJ McCarron?” The question is not “is he Tom Brady?” “Is he Joe Montana?”

...and yet if you talk to UGA fans they think and thought that was insanity. There isn’t one sane person in the US that thinks Fromm is a better QB than Fields (who will be a top 2 pick). Fromm isn’t going to all of a sudden become talented. His ceiling is low. He has a chance to carve out a career as a backup (and a good chance). He is not in any way, shape or form pushing Allen.

Tate is still going to be a star (don’t @ me) ??

I mean sure but the tape doesn’t support that

Works for me...

Willing to give him a chance. I think that it is decent value here. I have seen him a lot and don’t think that he is good. He played with TONS of talent. In general, he held them back imo. He has a chance to be a backup QB and we need that. His ceiling is LOW though to me.

...oh just wait People screamed for Peterman. Imagine what people will think when a guy that had success at UGA is sitting there. There is already someone on here claiming that he’s better than Josh. You are giving people too much credit.

I’m going to lose it.

It couldn’t be weaker. It’s not good even if it is better than it was there.

Yep, I think he’s okay as a backup option. It’s the people on WGR/TBD that are going to be screaming for him that will make me jump in traffic.

You were right

His ceiling is maybe a little higher but that could be his career. He’s like a homeless man’s Nick Foles.

Look, he will have a chance to be a backup but his arm talent is bad. He has a lot of intangibles. He’s decent value in the 5th. If people start screaming for him after Josh struggles for a game I’m going to lose my damn mind.

I do agree here and actually think Fromm can fill that role. I went with gross because I knew that we’d have some people talking about him being better than Josh!! Ha ha, he is a career backup and could fill that role. He lacks physical talent though.

Watch them play and don’t read stats. Allen is 2,000,000,000,000,000x better than Fromm. He has a rag arm. If you were a fan of what Peterman brought you’ll love Fromm!!

Gross

National Champs, never forget

I just like the fit. He probably ends Foster’s tenure (and I like Foster). Davis’ ability to stretch the field will lead to some big plays and will open things up underneath for the other pass catchers.

Agree 100%...I want guys that are good at football not good at being tall (and Davis is a good size). I like the Davis pick. This is my favorite of the 3 picks so far.

If that’s your opinion on him, we disagree on the player. That’s okay. To me he is going to be really good against the run and lends versatility. He will get some rush but most of his results will be effort plays that take a little longer to develop. I have counted him in the free agent group. It can only be counted once. If we are choosing to count him as a draft pick the Cardinals win the draft. They got Simmons, Nuke and Josh Jones.

I’m not saying that he’s bad. There is a reason though that a guy with his production was on the board at 54. There are reasons to be concerned. His upside is limited imo. The good news is that his downside is limited too. He will be a solid player day 1. We all just need to temper our expectations that he’s going to be a double-digit sack guy. That would be a surprise. There were guys as productive, that went later, that I think will be better. Greenard and Anae are two examples. The Bills could have went Dobbins and Greenard instead of Epenesa and Moss. I think that they would have gotten the better RB and the better pass rusher in that scenario. The guys that they got are going to help but there were other options that I would have preferred.

I think that he will too. Shaq turned into a nice player but it wasn’t until the middle of year 3. I think Epenesa can be solid day 1 (which is the positive about the pick). Moss is the same way. I don’t see either of them getting a lot better in the NFL but they can’t completely fail either.

I think Lawson (who I think was better than Kelsay). Epenesa will be a 6-8 sack guy that’s solid against the run. He has some position versatility as well because he can play the 3 technique. Shaq has that skill set too.

The DL is so deep. If Oliver becomes the star that I believe he will they are in good shape. I’d be surprised if they doubled down unless Murphy goes. There just aren’t spots. I’m high on Anae and Robinson. I could get behind that. I’d like to see some speed added (there are a bunch of options left). Hightower, McFarland, Watkins, or Calais depending on if they go RB or WR could be options. They were all sub 4.45 guys. I don’t know them all that well but would prefer the guy that’s the best open field runner. I would also not hesitate to deal one of these late picks for OJ Howard. He’d add another weapon. If he walks after this year you’d have a shot to recoup the pick the following year.
