This QB class sure took a turn.

[GetNjigbaWithIt]

A lot of the prospects we've discussed this past season have made it clear that they intend to stay in college. So, do we still want to take a QB in the '23 draft?

Here are some names I think will be available:

CJ Stroud
Bryce Young
Will Levis
Anthony Richardson
Hendon Hooker
Clayton Tune

There's probably more names, these are just off the top of my head, if you have someone else in mind, chime in.

I do assuming John has someone he falls in love with. It reminds me of when the Chiefs too Mahomes and people killed them for it because Alex Smith was pretty good and they had other holes. Well it was obviously the right call. If you have a guy there you think is a special talent you take him. If not then you don't force it. But if John decides to I'll be excited about it.

Grayson McCall is still my guy

McCall entered the transfer portal, so unless he withdraws his name and instead opts for the draft, he won't be available until '24.

Yeah I saw that looks like Auburn?

Only 2 coaches were interested in Mahomes and would have made the pick worth while ( right coach for player). Sean Payton had gone on record that the only thing he didn’t like about Mahomes was his squeaky voice he was ready to draft him at pick #11 Chiefs traded up to #10 and the rest was history

John Schneider liked Mahomes too, but that was vetoed by Wilson via Carroll. Probably Wilson to his agent to Carroll to Schneider. well, the rest is history.

I am not a fan of the top QBs in the 2023 draft especially the 2 QBs that have incredibly strong throwing arms but not much between the ears. When Levis was at Penn St he had the same physical ability but couldn’t beat out Sean Clifford to me that’s a head scratcher.

For me the most important ability for a QB is able to read and process information quickly having a very strong throwing arm is over rated Jamarcus Russell comes to mind

Allegedly JS also like Josh Wilson but didn’t do anything about it easy to say after the fact. The Seahawks didn’t draft Mahomes because RW said so? I will take that with a grain of salt.

I really couldn’t see Mahomes playing in a Pete Carroll influenced offense

 

[Double Tribble]

Cameron Ward is sure intriguing. 6'2", rocket arm and very mobile, with fantastic pocket awareness. His houdini escapes with eyes down field remind me of Wilson. What a great late 1st round prospect to sit behind Geno for a year or two.

 

[IndyHawk]

Stroud and Hooker are only two I like that I feel will do decent.

It was Ruskell who drafted Josh Wilson

 

[Throwdown]

CJ Stroud the only one I’m rushing up to the podium for.

I wouldn’t be made a flier on Richardson to season a few years behind Geno the goat

 

[CPHawk]

Stroud and Hooker are only two I like that I feel will do decent.

Hooker is 25 coming off a major injury. And only had one good year

 

[Ozzy]

I still love Young even if this board hates him and I’m starting to warm up to Levis too.

If you mean Josh Allen then JS was prepared to trade Wilson the Brown's to get him. Hardly a "did nothing" move

I don’t hate Young just overrated which happens with QBs if I was a GM he would be on my do not draft list purely on his size. Earlier in the season Young strained the AC joint in his shoulder against Arkansas from what appeared to be a run of the mill tackle and Saban had said he has had the same injury before this could be an issue

Yes I did mean Josh Allen. JS was ready to trade Wilson but pretty sure Wilson wanted no part of being traded to the Browns. When I hear stories like that I don’t think much of them and think “ than why didn’t you do it”

His size scares me too but man he’s so good at everything else. He’s tiny though for sure and it’s unprecedented that a guy his size excels.

Unfortunately, both teams have to agree to the trade.
