Quinn Ewers had a meeting with the Saints at the Combine

I assume you were speaking more in line w/ Ewers than the rest of the QBs he listed. W/ it becoming known that the Saints have called the Titans about the #1 pick and Ward being the only QB they have a 1st round grade on, your comment peeked my interest and I was curious to know if Cosell felt that way about him.

“I think Ward’s worthy of a No. 1 pick in the draft. That’s my opinion based on film study. I think he’s worthy of that,” Cosell said.

Cossel also said that Ward and Sanders got sacked a lot and that probably wouldn't change in the pros and might get worse. He talked about how college QB's who have big wide clean pockets in college struggle a lot with the tight high traffic pockets in the NFL and that's why some really good QB's at the college level don't work out at the NFL level. He said that if you're getting sacked at a high rate in college, it's not going to get any better in the NFL. Paraphrasing, not a direct quote.

The comment I replied to was someone saying that weren't a fan of Ewers, Ward and Sanders. I heard everything Cossell said. He didn't seem as enamored with Ward or Sanders as the general hype about them is. He pointed out their skills, but he also expressed concerns that their sacks would follow them to the NFL.

I didn't pay attention to what he said about Ewers.
