  2. That’s fucking stupid and a losing mentality. Why would we waste a pick on that now instead of trying to boost the team and make a situation for us to win games? So fucking dumb lol

  5. Makes a lot of sense. Saves a boatload of money which can be better spent elsewhere, and has minimal risk in a year like this.

  8. Anyone whose saying WHHYyyYhHyYyy

    Must have drank enough bleach to have forgotten watching Jake Fromm QB sneak on a 3rd and 9. Or Mike Glennon playing, ever.

  10. There’s a lot of prospects with higher upside but to me Max Duggan makes the most sense. Comes from an RPO offense, decent speed on the ground, adequate zip on the ball. He’ll fit in well with the kind of offense Daboll and Kafka were running for Jones earlier in the season. I can’t imagine that he’ll be taken before our comp pick at 172. He might make it all the way to our last pick at 254. Four years, cost-controlled.

  12. Don’t know when they’re projected to go but I wouldn’t hate a day 3 pick on Max Duggan or Jaren Hall at all

  13. It always makes sense to take a quarterback.

    It makes sense to sign QBs.

    Trash QBs get great draft capital in return all the time. Eagles made a killing off of trading trash QBs, and Hurts will be next. Jones doesn’t have a play style to consistently play 17 games, and Tyrod lasted like two drives behind this oline.

    A young athletic QB like DTR is there in the 6th round why the hell not.

  16. i said long before jones was signed. because jones has been hurt every year of his career, and the jones crazies downvoted my comment, just common sense to still draft a qb

  21. If they like the value somewhere then sure it makes sense, but that’d all but force the team to carry 3 QBs on the roster all season. They did this for a couple one off games last year with Davis Webb when Jones and/or Tyrod were banged up, but having 3 locked in QBs on the roster from day 1 onward can definitely hurt the overall flexibility of the roster.

    Ultimately if Dabes/Scohen find a value pick who they feel has actual potential down the road, I could see it happening, but the team has a lot of holes and already 2 guys under contract, so I’d expect this type of draft pick to be much likelier next year’s draft

  22. And this is why NFL contracts are damn awful. “Bring in someone who’s cheap because we might think we offered the main guy too much”.

  23. I strongly disagree.

    The fail rate on late round QBs is astronomical.

    Don’t waste picks on Ian Book. Grab RB depth, grab a returner for special teams, a young ILB, or a 5th corner.

    Late round quarterbacks are majority late round for a reason.

  24. you sign/draft the smartest guy with a strong enough arm and hope he’s great in the QB room. Maybe it works out.

  27. Reading this thread and not knowing about college QBs, I’m down for taking a flyer on a cheap backup QB, but:

    Bailey Zappe, Max Duggan, Hendon Hooker, Stetson Bennet, Clayton Tune

    You can’t convince me these aren’t auto-generated QB-sounding names

    Like sure let’s draft Chaz Slinger or Jimmy Pistol or Colt McCoy in the 7th round if the coaches believe in him let’s fucking go
