On a side note, they say this a weak QB class. But they also said that about 2017. But aside form Mitch Trubisky, the 1st RD QBs were Mahomes & Watson, easily top 5 talents at the position in the league today.
Now look at the so called loaded QB drafts like the very next in 18. That’s when Baker, Darnold, Josh Allen, Rosen & Lamar came out. The dudes who were the most polarizing (Allen/Lamar) ended up being the best in that draft. Heck, Lamar nearly dropped out of the 1st RD completely. Meanwhile, Baker, Darnold & Rosen are either on the verge of being replaced or on the bench completely.
Then look at this past draft, a supposed elite class. It’s def too early to tell, but from face value, none of those guys are looking too good right now, save for Mr. Mccorkle Jones. The dude, who again, was the most polarizing & questionable prospect at his position.
At the end of the day, i believe a major part of these guys success & failure are where they go & what team drafts them. If our FO drafts a QB in the 1st RD, im 100% confident that that’s right choice. Payton wanted Mahomes & look at him now. Then he wanted Mac Jones, it’s early, but look at him now.
I mean, i totally get it though. This class on paper looks the way it does. But at the same time this class 100% has dudes w/traits that fit exactly what Sean Payton wants in his QBs. These QBs have traits that can be developed and fine tuned to an elite level under this coaching staff.
Just my rant/opinion about this QB class. I personally dont think this QB class as bad as the talking heads/draftniks are trying to convince us that it is. I mean, just watch the actual games from start to finish w/your own two eyes & tune out the noise that the media is trying to fill our heads with. Not all these guys are as bad as theyre being made out to be.
