I like Lock, but the 2020 class is shaping up to be the next 2018 class

Taking the seventh or eight best player at 1-2 is really not an overdraft. It's very slight, but you are talking about a likely franchise quarterback. An overdraft is taking the 30th best player in the top 3. An overdraft is drafting the 75th best player at 12. That is a colossal reach and a huge mistake that sets your franchise back because you are passing on 60 some odd players that are better and can likely get that QB later.

Wow. Look at all of these Jacksonville-esque defenses that Rudolph is torching in this video!
Not a fan of a guy throwing to wide open recievers?

Lawson is still tradeable. I expected him to be moved honestly
It wouldn’t surprise me at all.

I don't think he fits their prototype, but who knows.
If Beane wants Mayfield he is a badass because everything he has said he looks for in a quarterback do not really fit Mayfield. If he wants him he started his smokescreen a while go. Its defintely possible. They met with him at the Senior Bowl, Combine, and private workout. I still dont think he is the target, but could be.
I still think the early pre combine rumors anout Darnold and Rosen are closest to the truth. Doesnt mean he can get them, but we shall see.
-
He probably priced himself out. That is why Beane made the move for Davis. We probably moved on at that point.
The fact that his price was so low says nothing about Beane missing out. We probably gave him an offer he thought was low and he likely got less on the market.

For the most part they let the corners play, just not against the Patriots.

Had a few timely tfl too, if I recall correctly. At that price...why not keep him? He certainly had a better time of things than Cap, no?
Maybe they just needed that tiny bit of cap for an LB signing. But yeah i kinda liked what he brought
-
Weird timing but defintely expendable. Made a few nice plays rushing as a defensive tackle, which I think they will do with Lawson on passing downs.

Yep. They like him. They don’t love him, though. But, might need to settle and hope for the best.
As long as it is not in the first 2 rounds I’m good.

They spent time with him in Mobile during Senior Bowl week.
I believe that would be tampering.

The Steelers are not using their first round pick on this guy. They may like him. They aren't taking him that high. They only have 5 draft picks. They don't have the luxury to draft another Landry Jones in the first.
He's probably between 70-75th best prospect and people want him at 12.

We got camp bodies that happen to play at positions of need, not solutions.
When I said corner, tackle, and center I meant Star, Davis, and Bodine. These are not camp bodies. They have players at other positions. The clear issues are quarterback and mike.
The team that made the playoffs last year was not better than what we have now. Don't jump just yet.
-
This team needs a quarterback and a Mike. We needed a defensive tackle, a corner, and a center as well and we got them. Yes there are other needs, but that's all depth. I don't give a crap if deonte Thompson goes to the cowboys or not.
Quarterback of the offense and quarterback of the defense. Those things are not on this team yet and those two decisions will make or break this regime.
-
This is a re-build on the fly. They are tearing it down while also keeping the team competitive with modest contracts and young players. The plan actually makes a ton of sense until you wind up making the playoffs by accident. Which was awesome and I wouldn't trade it for a higher pick.
I just hope that Pegula stays patient. I think getting him that young blue chip quarterback is a great way to buy more patience.

That Star contract is hurting right now. Plus all the dead money. This year looks awful. Looks like we mainly have to play awesome D again this year. Hopefully McCoy and whatever Qb helps us out.
Another reason why the Giants should be willing to trade down. The Bills pick next year may be high.

Point was not about whether they were a success or not. Yes, they were reaches and most did not work out. The point is more about teams being desperate and overdrafting quarterbacks. That’s what happens just about every year and we could add Manziel, Weeden and Tebow to the list.
Even most quarterbacks like Trubisky who are taken at the top are also a reach. He was not the consensus #2 overall prospect just like Mahomes was not the consensus #10 prospect last year. But they are quarterbacks and get overdrafted most every year.
Just saying that If you believe he is a franchise quarterback then a team must be prepared to take him earlier than his ranking or be prepared not to have that player.
The laws of supply and demand apply here. Every year is a little different. This year there are an unusual amount of teams looking for a franchise qb or looking to get one to take over for an aging veteran. There are also a higher number of qbs with franchise level qualities. The top 6 will be drafted high and then maybe 1 or 2 more go in second or third. The value might only come with 9th or 10th rated qb prospects who might last until the 5th or 6th because qb needy teams already got one.
Fair enough. I think the top five Darnold, Rosen, Allen, Mayfield, Jackson all go in the first. Then I think people gobble up all of the positional talent in this draft and there is a long wait for White, Rudolph, Falk etc. I think the 6th guy goes in the third. I think if this team reaches on Rudolph, this franchise will be set back another 4-5 years. I pray they do not succumb to the pressure and reach on a quarterback again. Itś EJ Manuel and JP Losman all over again.
Also Darnold going #1 when he is the 7th best prospect in the draft and Rudolph going 12 when he is a third rounder, maybe 65th best prospect overall are completely different types of reaches.

Trading down to 12 doesn't preclude you from trading back up throughout the draft as players you have high on your board are available.
Yes this. I could also see them using the extra capital to get more picks next year.

Gabbert, Tannehill, Ponder, Manuel, Locker are just some of the recent quarterbacks taken in the first round. Are their college resumes any better that Rudolph’s? I don’t think so. There are so many teams looking for quarterbacks that it is a risky game trying to wait until the value is right.
Those guys were all major reaches except maybe Gabbert. He didn't make it but had top ten upside.
Just like Manuel, et al, reaching on Rudolph is a terrible idea. These are not good examples for reaching on a non first round quarterback. You sacrifice too much talent for an inferior talent at quarterback. It would be a colossal mistake.
-
Randall is moving to safety and they need a corner. I will say that this signing maybe makes they more likely to trade down from 4 because they have less needs. They need a defensive tackle and their is no value at 4. There is at 12 though
-
I think Smith, but that Edmunds has some serious upside. Smith is the closest thing to Luke Kuechly though.

Jamarcus Russell also generated oohs and aahs at the combine.
Russell didn't make it because he was a lazy a hole who got really fat. He was not willing to put in the work.
The better comparison is a guy like Kyle Boller, who had ridiculous talent, played on a bad team in college, and was inaccurate. Allen is more talented than Boller, but Boller essentially failed because he stayed inaccurate and had a million injuries.
Either way, Allen clearly has a ton of talent and people are banking on his potential at the top of the draft. If Iḿ going down eventually at least I am taking a swing on the guy who is 6-5, 240, with ridiculous upside.
I still take Darnold or Rosen first, but Allen is next for me.

They must want Darnold if this is the case. Reports of their love of Darnold came out in December, well before smokescreen season.
