That should be illegal.

Since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, 172 quarterbacks have started at least 50 games—only 11 of them were 6-foot or shorter. Among those players are Kyler Murray, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, and Drew Brees. That’s not bad company to be in, but remember—these are the quarterbacks who hit, as they accumulated 50 or more starts over the course of their careers. If we instead look at just quarterbacks drafted since 1970, just 30 of the 522 quarterbacks selected (5.7 percent) have been 6 feet tall or shorter.

I love all the physical tools of Richardson but his lack of accuracy 53% completion percentage is the worry. More concerning thou is 30% of his throws were uncatchable that is him ranked 131 out of 132 qualified college qbs. That is Zach Wilson territory

Will be interesting to see what happens to the draft stocks of JSN vs Jordan Addison. Addison has tested as being small and relatively unathletic for early round WRs (which shouldn't be a surprise), and JSN didn't run the 40 because he didn't want to put up a bad time. But have both got some very good tape, so it will be interesting to see if the prior evaluations had correctly priced in their relative athleticism

All well and good when you're playing on witches hats

Dude played like a 6th OL heaps and yet he has some serious athleticism

 

[Brasher]

No knock on Addison but how many weeks on IR if he tried to catch that pass in a real game?

Amusing to me how everyone now suddenly sees Richardson as a star. What were people expecting at the combine ? I could have told you he'd blow every QB out of the water at the combine beforehand. Hes now getting into range where expecations are overhyped. Still a work in progress and not a day one franchise changer.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Stroud and Young still clear top 2 in my mind. If the Panthers are trading up id very much hope it isn't for Richardson or Levis.

 

[Constantgin]

i think top 5 is 4 qbs and anderson at this point

I dont see it . I see at least one of Richardson or Levis getting into the teens

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

This WR class is utter trash. JSN 1, Flowers 2 for me. The rest im very much meh on.

More TEs should go in the first two rounds than WRs.

I don't see that at all.

I think draft might go like this it.

1. Bears trade out for qb needy team like panthers/falcons/raiders/jets/bucs/(if no rodgers)'
2. Houston taking qb
3. Cardinals are exploring trade down options and i think richardson goes here a team that missed out of qb trades in front of colts who are going qb.
4. Colts take levis
5. Seahawks fall into anderson.

Colts to #1 QB
Houston QB
Cards - defense
Bears - defense/Oline
Seahawks - defense

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

I just think any team would be mad to trade multiple firsts + to get into the top 3 for Levis or Richardson.

Maybe Atlanta or Carolina trade up to 6 to jump the Raiders for one of them however. Depends how FA shakes out.

Are there 3 defenders you would be willing to draft in top 5 with carter out of play due to character concerns. Oline seem about the teens mark for me not that great a class atleast the top.

Porter and Gonzalez look the goods. I like the edge rusher class too.

 

[Inspecta Gadget]

If we trade up I hope it's to jump the lions for Gonzalez
