Off season questions

[Electric Chicken]

The only positive thing i can think of is that our draft position is usually where you can pickup a nice G or DT prospect.

The top OT will be gone by then.

Some good talent will slip down,, you wont know who the top prospects are until they play in the NFL

[Boltjolt]

my top five/fairly certain they'll be NFL starters.... Kyler Murray, Haskins, Ryan Finley, Rypien and Stidham
risky biz.... Lock (anything but), Grier, Tyree Jackson, Gardner Minshew, NIck Fitzgerald, Easton Stick
developmental prospects.... Daniel Jones, Jordan Ta'amu, Clayton Thorson, Jake Browning, Trace McSorley

will also add that had seem some (Cobern) draft metrics that suggested Herbert would be an off the charts NFL QB, and that McSorley had some decent metrics, and Thorson not so much ??

ps. Tom Brady didn't win the SB for the Pats today, and ditto for Eli, Ben and Peyton, and.... we had Stan Humphries @the helm when we made our lone SB appearance.

I've never heard of Ledyard or the draft network and didn't need them to know this QB class is weak. I think it was easy to see on my own. Yes the NFL is geared easier but it don't mean those guys will succeed and I don't expect most of them to.
Blaine Gabbart is the equivelent to a lot of these guys and he is , well, a backup. And I didn't like Gabbart either coming out.
I don't know what to think of Murray but if he measures 5'9", I can't see anybody drafting him in the first round and if not, I think he will play baseball and he should. He will make a lot more money doing it and he won't get beat up. At 190-195, he is gonna get banged up playing his style.

I think he is a wild card pick and could go anywhere from top 10 to second round depending on what he measures. Sounds silly but but who wants a 5'9" QB?

We need to upgrade the oline in fa. Look college OLs are just not as polished as they used to be. These guys are running fancy college offenses and not focusing on NFL fundamentals.

how did Indy find 2 good starters last year then?

By sucking and being able to get Nelson who was the best OL in the draft. Don't know who the other one is they got.

I liked Braden Smith.
He was drafted higher than expected.
Texans exposed his weakness vs EDGE rush.

It's clear as day to me watching the Pats march through the playoffs that this team still needs to get tougher up the middle, on both sides of the ball.

We need more bodies at DT and LB, primarily. I hope that Lamp can come back and be effective and that we can get another year out of Okung and Pouncey, the latter of which seemed to wear down as the year went on.

would prefer not to go the Mebane 2.0 redux route w/McCoy and would much prefer Dareus, and.... think he neglected to mention the possibility that Leonard just might not be all that.

and Morgan Burnett would be helpful, 'specially if the Chargers can't find it in themselves to go after Eric Reid.

no thank you to Sean Lee or either of the wideouts.

Well cool, they have him slated to be Mariota's backup lol. Just like I've said he will be.

To be fair I do think Stidham is a better prospect than Gabbart but I don't think he is a starter and certainly not a franchise QB in the NFL.
You saying he will be the best QB from this class isn't saying much. He only has to be better than Haskins. The rest aren't what I'd call Franchise types either.
