ESPN’s Mel Kiper mocks Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart to Saints at #9
To be fair, god like accuracy only got Brees drafted as the #1 pick in the 2nd round.
I do agree that Sanders has great accuracy and in the right system he could be very good. But he does lack Drew's pocket awareness and ability to step up in the pocket to make throws. If Sanders can learn to do that and work his arse off to know where everyone is going to be every second of every play, he could be very good.
But the concern is that Sanders has already had the best coaching money and fame can buy so how much better is he going to get?
I agree with something you said earlier about Sanders holding onto the ball too long and scrambling around in the pocket, which leads to sacks, but he does step up into the pocket pretty well. Dude is fearless when it comes to that. He doesn’t mind if the defense is collapsing and if he takes a big hit. That part is concerning bc NFL players are bigger and stronger, so he may take a good bit of “remember me” shots.
Everyone should know how I feel about what we should do in this draft. I want skill position players. Give me 2 TEs (which may not be possible now with the JJ contract) and a RB. Plus, the rumblings here in Charlotte is the Panthers want Warren.
So, I won’t settle for a WR. If Tet is there, which I doubt he will be, then run to the podium. Finish off the next two picks with at least a TE and a RB.
Now, IF Sanders is there at #9, then the FO will have to have some conversations bc obviously we need a franchise QB going forward. Although I did like what I saw from Rattler
Btw, when I referenced Drew’s accuracy, I meant his accuracy in the NFL. He wasn’t that accurate in college. I’m just saying that ungodly talking points for accuracy, should be considered across the board. Not for a few select. If a player is accurate then they are accurate. It’s literally one of the main things, if not the main thing a QB should be.
