    Pick 92: Jalen Milroe

    Those Packers teams did it later in the draft. I believe Hass was a sixth round comp pick. Brunell was a fifth rounder they traded after one season. I believe Aaron Brooks was also a late fifth rounder. And they did it with a number of ones that didn't work out too. At that point, nearly every...

    Why Milroe was a GREAT pick!!

    My rate is based on the one All-Pro season that has come from a third round QB among the 59 who have been drafted since Joe Montana 46 years ago. It was a second-team All-Pro from the QB you would think got it. Also, since 2000, non-Russ QBs drafted in the third have a combined three Pro Bowl...

    Why Milroe was a GREAT pick!!

    Taysom Hill attempted four passes last season, completing two of them for 21 yards and an INT. He was largely used as a TE. Is that really the same as "platooning" QBs? And whether it "worked" is debatable too. The Saints were pretty bad last season.

    Why Milroe was a GREAT pick!!

    Those are terrible comparisons that are going to lead to unrealistic expectations. Flynn had a very limited sample size and we took a chance that his success in those limited opportunities would translate to a full-time job. Darnold has a very sufficient sample size as a starter, but concerns...

    Why Milroe was a GREAT pick!!

    There's probably a reasons teams never do that despite an abundance of athletic RPO specialist QBs. I'm guessing they don't want to take their starters out of their rhythm. I can't remember the last successful team that platooned QBs.

    Why Milroe was a GREAT pick!!

    Third round QBs have a shockingly poor hit rate, so if he falls in line with the 95%+ of them who never become more than backups, itll be a wash in that regard, but there will be the wasted opportunity cost on finding a player at a different position who could have contributed much more. Milroe...

    Need a yard?

    The Seahawks benefitting from that play would finally be the motivation for the league to ban it.

    POLL: Predict The Pundits Draft Grade For The Hawks

    We got a lot of big names. That usually helps.

    Did you all catch our new WR Tyler Broden

    Crazy he was so unproductive with those measurables. His 3 catch 35 yard 1 TD game last August against Arkansas Pine-Bluff was probably his best game of the past two seasons. Good gamble for a UDFA though.

    NFC West Draft Grades per SI

    I thought that was a phenomenal draft for the Cards. Rams got two big steals in Stewart and Paul too. C seems really harsh for them.

    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    That's basically where I am. Like I understand that some people aren't interested in doing deep dives on the prospects pre-draft, and are just excited to see who our new players are and want to be optimistic and hopeful that these are all the right moves. That's perfectly fine; I don't like to...

    Pick 223: Damien Martinez

    I don't see us keeping four RBs, especially with the likelihood we keep three QBs and a FB. Id guess this guy either kicks Kenny McIntosh off the team or goes to the practice squad.

    Pick 238: WR Ricky White

    Apparently a special teams demon who was named the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year last season. Blocked four punts.

    Day #3 2025 NFL DraftChat.

    Raiders just took Zabel's QB. It was just three picks after they took Tommy Mellott, another FCS star QB, although they're planning on converting Mellott to WR. Someone tried telling me earlier that Milroe had basically the same stats as Russell Wilson. He doesn't, but the QB the Raiders just...

    Ewers about to go undrafted

    It'd be an embarrassing if a better QB than the one we took in the third round went undrafted.

    Sam Howell traded to Vikings

    I know most teams are screwed if their starting QB goes down, but wow, we'd be lucky to win 4 games with Lock/Milroe. I hope we've done enough to protect Darnold. I would assume that spending no free agent money, making no trades, and drafting just a single OL from the football powerhouse of...

    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    If I didn't like a player before the draft, seems wrong to suddenly pretend I actually liked him all along just because we drafted him. I praise the picks I like, criticize the ones I dont; I enjoy the prognostication. If I'm wrong later, I'm perfectly OK with that. Give me that crow.

    2024: 108 yards 2 TDs (both career highs) That's what you like to see.

    Seth McLaughlin would fit the injured thing pretty well, plus a Buckeye.
