Coach Tuesday

Peterman’s biggest problem was not his poor arm strength. It was his decision-making post-snap. The Peterman Experience (band name alert!) seems to have ruined some folks’ ability to evaluate QB play. Nate Peterman’s biggest problem was that he’d decide where he was throwing pre-snap, and then refuse to adjust no matter what happened post-snap. As a result he was incredibly reckless. His weak arm strength exacerbated the problem because he couldn’t use velocity to make up for his poor post-snap decisions. If Fromm is able to actually read a defense post-snap, he’s already in a different category than Peterman. Based on the clips I’ve been watching, Fromm is already light years ahead of Peterman when it comes to reacting to what the defense is actually doing. That’s not to say he’ll be any good in the NFL, but the Peterman comparisons are inapt. From McBeane’s perspective, I think they view Fromm as “The Real McCarron.” A High-character guy who can actually run the offense and play .500 ball if Allen misses time.

Ricky Williams with less speed is a good comp. That Waldman video really highlights his elite lower body flexibility.

Do we need a punter thread? Never thought it would come to that.

@NewEra care to comment?

Wonder if they still would’ve picked him if they had resigned Shaq.

I don’t really know what the point of this is but I’ll say this, if they would’ve strongly considered Espanesa at 22 then they basically got Diggs for free.

Moss is all name no game. He can’t move laterally.

Perhaps they want the shortest path to the Lombardi trophy?

This dude reminds me of Brandon Marshall. Unreal he’s just sitting there in the 6th.

Something fishy about this selection.

Ranks really high in Football Outsiders’ playmaker projection. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2020/playmaker-score-2020

Darrick Holmes’ kid - crazy.

Couldn’t agree more about Baltimore - they are masters of drafting and I’m in awe of what they’ve done already this weekend. They’re going to be playing in the AFC title game without question.

Don’t think it’s smoke as much as some guys just being wrong. I highly doubt some sly scout was purposely pumping out disinformation hype about Zay Jones so he’d be overdrafted...

Completely different type of player.

Tipster one of these years you’re going to get one of these right.

Would Willekes be redundant now?

Yes. That is still the “missing piece” IMO - a better version of what McKenzie does.

Duvernay is gonna be sick in that offense. I would’ve been psyched if the Bills took him instead of Moss, although I like the way Moss plays and I think he’ll bring some juice and attitude to the offense.

So, you hope they’ve done a deep dive on his football character. Without elite (or even average) explosion, he’ll have to win on attitude and effort. Some of the anonymous scouting reviews are less than stellar, such as this one from The Athletic: ”“I just don’t know how much fire there is internally in him to achieve,” a third scout said. “It’s not like he’s a bad kid, by any stretch. I just don’t see that J.J. Watt-type desire and motivation to be great.” https://theathletic.com/1758253/2020/04/20/mcginns-nfl-draft-series-scouts-on-top-edge-rushers/?source=user_shared_article I worry about the bust factor with this guy. Personally I would’ve taken a chance on Uche as a high-upside explosive pass rusher. Not that I don’t like Epanesa, I am good with their ability to scout defense and I’ll assume they spoke to his coaches and feel confident he has enough compete. It just feels a bit like a “straight down the fairway” type pick. That said I’m sure they didn’t expect him to last to 54 and the value is undeniable.

Ravens another team trying to score points. I have yearly draft envy for the Ravens.

That’s more like it.

Zay Jones is nervous.

Bowden was the second to last guy I wanted. Then Edwards. All the playmakers are gone. Other teams took touchdown makers.
