BGC 2023 QB/PTP Thread

[BaconGrundleCandy]

QB/PTP Thread

There are several potential #1 overall picks here if they put it all together. There's no doubt in my mind that guys like Richardson and Stroud will be in that convo with another good year by CJ or a consistent, start to finish, "best performance to date" from Richardson. He's extremely intriguing and NFL types will be drooling over him. 6'4/230 with a cannon arm and athleticism that'll help him hit 21 mph (everyone is running 20 +) He's raw but you can't teach that size & athleticism. Would not be surprised to see him make that jump.

You can throw TVD, Young and a few others as well. There's a lot to work with in this years class and next class fwiw. I'll get more specific later in terms of detail and add more names but this is a good list to start from.

I feel bad for USC having been stuck with Caleb Williams for next two years.

 

[borisman]

I’m not a Richardson fan. Has talent but makes bad decisions. Frustrating to watch. I hope he does make that jump.

 

[Ochmed Jones]

I think McCall has a chance to be the next herbert!

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I’m not a Richardson fan. Has talent but makes bad decisions. Frustrating to watch. I hope he does make that jump.

He's super raw but has the kind of skill-set, package that makes the NFL flip out. If he puts together a 3k, 30/10 year he'll most likely find himself in the convo. Next two classes are very intriguing and then we have a little drop off until these guys start developing. Say to say the QB position has changed and will continue to do so.

This kid is as sought-after as any in a long time.

What???

 

[borisman]

What???

He might be the best player to ever hit the "transfer portal" so......

Edit: I guess my point was that Williams, a tier 1 QB, won't be eligible for the tier 1 QB draft list for two more years.

A healthy Penix is the real deal.

Always been a fan! Rooting for him.

He's gonna have to put on 20ish pounds or he's gonna get killed in the NFL (6'5" but weighs less than Edelman did).

True but he got time. He's quite the athlete and has quite the frame. I'm sure he'll fill out some like Lawrence.

 

[Jim Beankie]

This is totally way out in left field, but I'd be interested in Vanderbilt's Mike Wright (not the former Pats DE) as a converted QB to WR project. Reached 21.8mph this season against Hawaii. 6'4" 195lbs. 10.87 100m in HS. Originally from Georgia like Jakobi. Guessing he might stay another year to get the hang of this whole QB thing, though.

Moving him up

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

Changed up tiers a bit. Sometimes I like to let them sit all the way through. Sometimes I like to update. In this case most of the "top" guys were in my tier 1 or 2 so I did pretty well. Have to say this is shaping up to be a nice class.

Is the BC kid, Phil Jurkovec, a result of the o line and coaching issues or has he regressed? I’m an eagles fan but live in Texas now, so never get to see them.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Levis has achieved binky status. I have no expectation that he'll end up in New England, but I can root for him (unless he ends up with the JEST).

 

[holyredeemer]

Tanner McKee is the kind of guy I'd like to see Bill draft if he is available in rounds 3-5. Big, has a strong arm, still needs development. If it doesn't work out, oh well, you didn't spend much to get him. If it does work out, and his mechanics can be cleaned up, you might have something special. Highly doubt he will drop, but it's the type of guy I'd like to see us target. Something different from what we have on the roster.

Honestly I think injuries caught up to him a lot and never really allowed him to keep progressing. Injuries are the fastest way to slow development and he missed more than a few games the past few years. I think that's been his biggest obstacle. Tough kid though I'm a fan.

I see a lot of Tannehill and Wentz in Levis. I know some will take that as a negative but it's more playing style, size, arm talent etc than actual outcome. He's definitely got some areas to clean up. Actually reminds me of Mac in the sense he has a hell of a time ID free rushers from the second level. Sensing pressure in general. Difference is he never had the OL Mac had and has been running for life a lot. Trying to make something happen.

He'll be a polarizing prospect for sure.

So, Stetson Bennett, may have cost himself being drafted. He was arrested for Public Intoxication here in TX.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett arrested on public intoxication charge in Dallas, police say

The arrest happened around 6 a.m. Sunday on Tribeca Way in Old East Dallas, according to police.
