POLL: Caleb Williams or Drake Maye?

[*ChungFu*]

Maye if you are determined to significantly upgrade the O-Line.
Williams if you don't. He can scramble for 10 seconds.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Except for the 5 times he's had a pick in the top half of the draft, right? He just sat there and took his guy. Only failed once: Mac Jones.

I think BB traded down before selecting Mayo and Gonzales.

 

[Hades]

I like Maye and believe he will be the better pro, with that said, his inability to recognize the blitz is a concern.

Yes, a couple spots. But he didn't take himself outside the thick of those drafts.

Crying let's out all negative thoughts or disappointments to begin things afresh . So not sure why we want to label crying as emotionally less mature .

Sometimes folks have too many things bottled up and it causes depression and other mental issues.

I am not saying you are meaning that, but your statement states otherwise.

In 1972, Ed Muskie was the front runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. However, in responding to a false accusation in the Manchester Union Leader, it was reported that he cried. (It was outdoors and snowing at the time, so it was unclear if there were tears or melted snow. Muskie denied crying.) In any event, the alleged crying incident ended his chances for gaining the Democratic nomination.

If we have a chance to take Caleb and we pass over him, it will be the single worst decision the franchise has ever made.

I see a guy with unreal arm talent. A guy who has great awareness in the pocket. He just moves around it beautifully and he finds it very easy to get reset as he's moving. These are huge intangibles.

He has a very short compact throwing motion that allows him to have a very quick release.

Of the 3 QBs we're comparing, he's the only one who is processing in these videos. You see him move through his progressions quickly. He surveys the entire field. Maye and Daniels, on the other hand, are locked in.

I would trade up to get him if Chicago is antsy at all.

I think the Patriots finish 4-13 which gets them to the 2nd pick. I am not convinced that Chicago is going to take a QB but it would be a big mistake for them not to take Caleb. If they're not sure, give them a sweetener and move up, because I'm sure they'll want Harrison.

I think Chicago should select an OT and Nabers with their second pick this would do wonders to their offense
Nabers is my favourite wr in the draft

I would probably lean toward maye over Williams because I can’t watch any 6‘0 qb anymore but I haven’t watched them
I saw some lsu games and I like daniels
Maybe daniels would be available in a very small trade down which nets another day 2 pick

Anyway I don’t want to see a defense player draft till day 3

Agreed. Maybe a fattie on Day 3.

IF we are in position to draft one of them ... IF ...

 

[Uptown]

Stay away from McCarthy..

I like the scenario where there is a slight trade down for a second rounder and then pick Daniels..

 

[KCSVEN]

I voted Maye but until they have workouts it is hard to say. What will Williams measure height and weight? What 40 time will Maye have?
Will reports from the workouts have one that blows scouts away?
I could switch to Williams, who is currently getting a bit of a bad rap due to things not related to his actual on the field play.
I think Williams might be a better NFL QB in year 1 and 2 but Maye will be better in the long run.
If they somehow get the first pick in draft we should revisit this poll before draft.

 

[Lagaffe_07]

Stay away from McCarthy..

Yep. McCarthy has Zack Wilson written all over it.

I like Daniels but he has RG3 written all over it.

Williams is the closest thing that exist to Mahomes and Maye could become a Josh Allen type

I’d compare Daniels to Hurts/Jackson; although I did like RG3 pre-injury. McCarthy isn’t even as talented as Zack Wilson. At least with Wilson, you could see his immense talent at BYU. McCarthy is a JAG IMHO..

 

[The Gr8est]

My pick is Daniel’s as well. He is just a tad reckless with his body, shows no fear. Great arm and scrambling ability. Hate the fact that he makes Kelly look like a good coach.

That was one of my concerns with Carson Wentz.

He exposed his body to unnecessary hits.

Slightly off topic but something I can't stop thinking about amidst all the "BB should be fired" or "BB should be stripped of GM" and a crop of 6 or more QB prospects is: In such a class who would you rather have evaluating those QBs than BB? He's made a career out of tormenting young QBs and clearly has insight into how they think. All these QB prospects are athletic and have tons of highlight reels but to really figure out their value you need to get them in a room and let a guy like BB figure out how they think about the game.

In past years we never picked high enough to get every QB in a film room with BB because the top ones knew they weren't coming to New England. This year there isn't a consensus number one and so we have a legit shot at all of them which means they all need to visit. I can't think of anyone better than BB to figure out how they process the game in between their ears.

I don’t remember which season it was, but one week there were like five QBs starting who were drafted, or otherwise brought into the NFL, by BB.

Trying to remember:
Brady
Matt Cassell
Ryan Mallett
Matt Gutierrez
??????

 

[Hyped]

From my calculations, New England will finish with the fourth pick.

How did you calculate so? In my mind, I have the Pats winning one more for a final record of 4-13. That keeps us ahead of everybody but the Panthers...and the Commanders beat us...so did the Giants...

Who can leapfrog us 2x? Of course, my calculations have us losing in Denver and Buffalo.....

I have similar feelings. And if BB were to draft MHJ, we might have to write MHJ's career off from the get go LOL.
