Agreed those players are not going to lead a team to 11-6 and playoffs.
So if you are looking for victories in 2024 and that is really important for your franchise getting off the ground with new leadership then you focus on the here and now.
My point is that established coaches/GMs often have...
Maye is 21. Daniels is 24.
Daniels didn’t emerge as a top prospect until 2023.
Perhaps the upside on Maye may be higher given that they are both rated first round picks right now.
The more I see the more I am apt to believe a really confident coach and GM should take Maye because some...
There hasn’t been much news on these quarterbacks overall.
The only two items I see are the flap a couple of weeks ago about Peters having a mid round grade on Daniels in 2022 and whether Daniels wanted to play here, and now this petty BS on social media from the agent.
Seems a comment from...
It’s going to be interesting to circle back in a year and see where we are re the picks.
We seem to agree that the draft is a crapshoot overall but at the same time some folks seem wedded to certain prospects as if our collective sports lives depend on their selection.
I think Maye is going to take a bit of work that first year but for some reason I am sensing 3-4 years from now he is going to be a star while Daniels will be more like Tua, a good player that has hit some injuries and overall is a solid starter but not a guy that elevates a team.
Of course I...
How many first round quarterbacks come into the NFL and hit the ground running?
50% end up being backups or outright busts and out of the league in several years.
Trevor Lawrence was used to the glare of media and high profile throughout college and still has had some growing pains.
Two...
I guess Caleb Williams and Drake Maye just picked better agents.
The job of the agent is to maximize his client’s value and stay out of the way of making any adverse comments or media posts that might detract from that.
Daniels had one breakout season. He maxed out the last year of eligibility. Great.
But that doesn’t mean he has arrived. That next jump to the NFL is going to be more humbling than his transition to the SEC.
If we pick him I hope his eyes are open and he doesn’t come in like Haskins talking...
We can't come out of this draft without a LT.
If guys are going off the board and we have someone rated highly we should move up into the late first and snag him.
Wide receivers and linebackers can be found later in the draft.
Great, another guy with a mirror up to his face. And an agent up his ass.
Let’s draft football players and leave the drama behind.
If at the heart of it Daniels and his agent are offended that he looked like a mid round pick until 2023 and Peters graded him that way that’s his problem.
Too rich at #7?
The only mock draft I have seen Maye go later than that is one I ran on the NFL simulator where Maye slid down to #8 to Atlanta (?) after I put in some earlier picks out of what teams are expected to do just to see how the analytics would consider the moves.
I want the name changed again because of its current association with Snyder.
When Harris bought the team and the sale was finalized I bought a burgundy hat with the 'W' logo on it. It's fine for now, but we need some greater creativity and artistry in developing a real logo.
The irony is...
As we enjoy today's conversations, let's remember our dear friends 'Docsandy', Sandy Zier-Teitler, and 'Posse Lover', Michael Huffman, who would dearly love to be here with us today! We love and miss you guys ❤
