2020 Draft Prospect Discussion

[powderblueboy]

We can talk about Burrow all day but he IS a Bengal, wild chance a team like Miami trades the farm - but WE are not that team.

And no team will ever tank for a year on purpose, moving into a new stadium, really? More unicorn thinking.

At #6 it’s a QB like Tua or Herbert, or OT then start thinking about a trade up for ??? I really think QBs will be going like hotcakes late in the first...

Eason, Hurst & Fromm?

[blueman]

Yup. They won’t last.

The Bengals would want Bosa and #6.

So they could draft Tua? Love kills.

Yeah it's funny seein all this energy bein put into a QB we ain't gettin lol.How bout we focus on the QBs that we might be able to get and trying to decide if those ones are worth such a high pick instead of drooling over somebody else's future QB.

Hopefully he twists an ankle against Clemson??

Its tough to say. This same question came up on one of the NFL shows. They were comparing Burrow to Trevor Lawrence.

They talked about some of the downsides of Burrow.

• He's essentially a 1 year wonder at this point
• Sat on the bench for two years at Ohio State and could not beat out JT Barrett. Urban Meyer who has a pretty good eye for QB's kept Barrett as the starter over Burrow.
• Played last year for LSU but was very average. Not great, not terrible.
• Burrow's career did not take off until this season when they brought in a new OC this season. The new OC seemed to open things up so Burrow could flourish. So this is his first really good year.
• They talked about his build. He has a slight build and is not a very big guy. Said he looks more like a waiter than an NFL QB.

Those are the facts. How good he will be in the NFL is anyone's guess.

Does he....? Or maybe he has a good eye for college QBs...name a francise QB in the NFL that he recruited...and Haskins isn't proven yet.

And a 4th rounder. Remember, this IS TT...gotta give up a 4th rounder to move up or it wouldn't be TT...

Tebow was a starter for Meyer. Good college QB, ran alot. Not a good enough arm or accuracy for the NFL. Burrow completed 77.6% of his passes averaging 10.9 yards per attempt so he wasn't slinging screen passes.

As for his build... Please... Brees was and is still small, Kyler Murray is small and Burrow surely can't look any worse than this

You don't just draft a first round QB when you aren't looking for one just for the hell of it.
So funny we keep seeing these types of comments three years down the road. Where were you in the 2017 draft giving this opinion?
Some still think Rivers can play another 2 years. I think he can too it's just evident we can't get a OL for him and just roll with turd bags like Scott, Tevi and Feeney.

I did give it to this board back in 2017 and folks like you said it was too soon to be drafting a QB that high. I am Alex. Or Millionaire Wussy.

Exactly. Like I said they weren't looking to draft a QB, probably just extended Rivers so they weren't going to draft a first round QB and have two high priced QBs on the roster.

Eason, Hurst & Fromm?

My stated preference is to 1) pay a king's ransom for Burrow, 2) take blue chip OT in the 1st and QB Jacob Eason in the 2nd.

And look at how that strategy worked out.
