He has a lot of talent. I see him getting on a shitty team with a bad OLine and turning into 2022/3 Cam. Running around, taking 20 yard sacks, and getting stripped…a lot. Whoever takes him I hope they also have a plan to get some dudes up front for him.
I think the fact that he expected to be the #1 selection shows how weak this QB class is.
If I’m that bad this year and in need of a QB I tank again for Arch. This class blows chunks. Cam would have been QB 8 or 9 last year. That said there will be some Brock purdy in the later rounds who will be a future pro bowler, happens almost every year.
In today's NFL, I think it's rare that an RB is a worthy top pick. And, I don't think Jeanty is one of those. He put up numbers against weak defenses, but was significantly less successful against the better defenses he went against. I'm not convinced he's going to be successful enough in the NFL to be worth a top 10 pick, or whether he can physically handle an NFL schedule. Austin Jeanty is no Saquon Barkley.
The entire College and Professional football apparatus sees Cam Ward as the best new talent available in the entire industry.
Lost all credibility there.
Cam Ward is not a #1 value. When he gets pressure, he panics. He gets tunnel vision and makes bad decisions. He showed that at WSU, and he showed it at Miami in the handful of games his OL couldn't keep him clean.
I guess we will find out in a few days when Cam and the rest of us will learn his exact market value.
Supply and demand. His paycheck is going to be the same as the number 1 pick regardless of whether you or Biggs thinks he has the talent or not.
No. We’ll learn in a few days what someone pays him. We won’t know his value for a couple years…although we’ll have some idea by the end of this year.
Corellary:
I think we’re generally in agreement, but I think it’s exceedingly rare that any team picking top 10 is 1 player away. Sometimes, the right player is there at a need position, but more often they’d be better served turning a top 10 pick into a couple of later picks. Build a solid place with good players, rather than trying to hit a home run and have a great player surrounded by crap.
Tell that to the teams who drafted Trey Lance, will Levis, Jamarcus Russell, and Ryan Leaf. Their perspective is probably different.
No doubt the number of #1 qb draft picks who have busted is larger than those who have even just had a winning record, but you can't convince anyone in the NFL to not gamble on the next great thing, in spite of the facts.
Yeah, logic tends to get lost behind the irrational exuberance. People get sucked in by the highlight films and don’t notice that they’re outnumbered by the head-scratching and face-palming ones.
I suppose the logic is that its all a crap shoot and you're just as likely to get a solid qb at 1 as you are in the 5th round, perhaps even a little better chance.
John Schneider's track record on offensive line has been terrible. If the Seahawks don't make it to the playoffs, and maybe past the opening round, I think Schneider's time in Seattle has come to an end.
