The only QB with as much talent is Darnold and he's coming out after starting two years so you really have to do a larger projection on him then you did with the others because they had more college starting experience.

You're not trying at all. Before we anoint goff king I want to see if this is a foles mirage or not. Is he the guy that played terribly as a rookie or the guy that played well with arguably the best supporting cast in football??? We will see next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 You don't make the moves this franchise has dating back to the restructure of Tyrods deal, to come away with McCaron and the scraps left of the top And. The second Beane traded up for 12, reports were Buffalo was trying to get up to three with the Colts... That tells me they want one of the big boys and were left on the sidelines.

Wentz threw 600 passes in his career for a d2 college . When he was drafted no one knew who the hell he was , it was all highlights and projections.

Confidence intervals would overlap at that sample size, meaning statistically equivalent. My read on the eagles is chip is a bad nfl coach who built a talented ROSTER. Good coaches took advantage of the set up to the fullest. But Foles won the ring, not Wentz. If the goal is to draft a QB who will play in a SB, he is most likely to be found in the top 5 picks--no matter how you ended up picking in the top 5. Yes we all see that Foles won the Sb. But do you think that Foles wins all the games that Wentz won before he was injured?

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 There are so many ways to fill out a roster and we have so many dead drafts where we have nothing to show. I really can’t understand why people over value draft picks the way they do. It wouldn’t take our whole draft to move to 1, but just to show the extreme. If we traded our ENTIRE draft for #1 and took Darnold, we would still be fine. And better off today then we were at any point in recent memory. The QB is just a different thing all together. The Jets will be fine and we will look terrible if they get one of the 2 very good QBs. We have plenty of picks. Trading up was the only way to go IMO. If we arent going up, why were we so quick to move all those good players last year? We did that to get the best qb. Not the best guy left after the good ones are gone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said this is a deep QB class and who knows what can happen. The 2016 draft and 2018 draft are not really comparable because 2016 had only two viable first round QB options. Goff and Wentz went one and two overall. I really don't see either of those guys as better prospects than Darnold and Rosen. Throw in Allen, Mayfield and Jackson and this QB class could be the perfect one to not trade a ton of picks for a franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
