DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION 2024 NFL Draft Thread (Continued..)

[Huckleberry1]

There isn’t much money to be made in sports journalism by being a downer.

In other words you don’t have any reliable source for saying they suck, you just have a woody for a WR or OT, so you are just making **** up.?

I think they should draft Harrison Jr., and play the next few seasons with no QB, just like they have been doing the last couple of years, that’s worked out great for them.

Judging by the Senior Bowl it’s Quinyon Mitchell at 3 no matter what.

Was really interested to see on how Guyton would look lining up on the left side after blocking for a lefty and playing from the right.

Little off topic but I wonder if Bill Bedenbaugh is getting any looks as a oline coach by any NFL teams?

What all of this really boils down to is that there are some people here who simply have a boner for Marvin Harrison Jr., and because they can’t come up with any legitimate reasons to pass on any of the 3 QB’s they start to play the “ he’s not guaranteed to succeed” game. Which, if true, means you should just trade every pick for veteran players, because no rookie is ever guaranteed to succeed.

Once we get a competent offensive staff worthy of handling a top 3 pick, sure. All of these guys need their hand held big time.

The problem is we dont need a McVay or Shanny disciple. We actually need one of them (Shanny or McVay) to make a move like this week to it's potential. Or are really sure the next OC is on par with them. Who on this staff would you trust to develop a top 3 QB pick? Conversely there's absolutely no thinking with Marv. Hes plug and play. Obviously will need to be coached but there's far less of a curve with him. He's a better WR than all 3 are QB.

To the bolded.

Williams ran one of the most simplistic offenses I've watched in years and absolutely invited pressure every chance he got. There's no evidence he can run a NFL offense. He's getting drafted bc of his traits and gifts. Again invites pressure and isn't good under pressure. Sick arm and other attributes but he's not a generational QB and would have gone behind guys like Lawrence, Fields, Luck etc

I'll bet on Maye but there are concerns with him too. Hes liable to Mac Jones decision making blunders at times. His lower half mechanics - base, are very inconsistent. Accuracy issues. Took too many sacks.

Daniels is a 23 yo one hit wonder that did it with two 1st RD wrs and plenty of other talent at LSU. Other teammates of his did not care for him at all and he's not comfortable working the MOF.

If we have a real offensive staff I'm all for drafting a QB but rn there's little evidence this team can handle such a move. And it's not like we have a dominant OL or outstanding targets to really help a young QB.

I'm not against drafting one. I just want a much clearer picture on the offensive side of the staff.

J-Powers-Johnson is probably going to go in the mid second but if some how he fell to the 3rd I’d consider him. Huge replacement for Andrews and a big time bink crush on the guy.

That would be 3/5ths of the line shored up withstanding they sign Onwenu and keep Sow at left or right guard. That’s a huge possible turnaround, provided they get the right oline coach and fill in the left tackle.

You would have to get him with our 2nd and hope he's there.

I think he may be snatched up by Dallas, Miami, Pittsburgh, Denver or NYG.

Mayo and his Tennessee ties haha..(joke)

Agreed, lot of scouts have him in the 40s.
