If you want the team to draft Haskins, this statement does not rule out the possibility of that happening.
So Pirk, who is your guy?
There isn't a lot to like in this draft, IMO. I didn't like a lot last season, either. The top ended up the minefield it felt it would be.
Herbert was who I saw as the best QB of this draft, but he stayed in school.
Kyler Murray intrigues me with the wildcard factor the same way Mayfield did (one of only a few including Jackson I liked) last year.
I don't see many immediate starters in this class. I think Lock and Jones could become decent starters, they just don't "wow" me with anything. There could be quality backup in there.
My take on Haskins... if they take Haskins, that's fine. I don't play the juvenile "MY QB OR BUST!!" game where I uptalk my QB and talk down QBs not mine. and troll people who don't agree with me. I certainly wouldn't trade up for him. What I see of him on the field just doesn't match the stat sheet. The warning signals echo young inexperience in the vein of Mark Sanchez. They take him and groom behind Bortles, it wouldn't surprise me to see a Ravens-like season. The long term is the real question.
Lawrence is the generational QB to watch, and to get.
With better QBs in the pipeline, there's nothing I'd like more than have a bridge vet signed, take BAP in the draft, and take the QB next year or after when pickings are much better. If we're looking to "make" a QB out of something that isn't there this season, we could be passing on better talent at other positions (like we've done with our #1 over the years again and again.) We've got to have the stones to go after the actual best player than try to force a position pick, even if QB.
I don't think the lack of an immediate starter in this quarterback group is necessarily an indictment on the quarterback class. Brett Favre was not immediate starter and he turned out pretty well. Carson Palmer was not an immediate starter and he had a very good career. Aaron Rodgers Steve McNair and Patrick Mahomes are other very successful quarterbacks who were not immediate starters. In fact I think if we were to get a Foles, it would be the ideal time to get one of those non-immediate starting quarterbacks.. I think that having a vet like Foles would provide the ideal circumstance to develop a promising Young quarterback properly as opposed to throwing him in and possibly ruining him. Besides, with a vet like Foles and taking BAP may put us too low to get one of the QBs in the next couple of years.
Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
