OT: NFL Draft Week

[John_J_Rambo]

Todd McShay thinks 5 QBs will be taken in the first 9 picks

always interesting to see who's moving/shaking

NU probably back to having zero players selected for the 3rd time in the last 4 years

And Bama probably back to having a quarter of the 1st round picks for the 9th year in a row.

The #6 and #7 QB's should be Davis Mills (Stanford) and Kellen Mond (Texas A & M).

Considering that QBs 3,4 and 5 might be a coin flip we shouldn't be too surprised. Was that you that was sure Trey Lance was going to the Niners? I think now that I know about Fields' epilepsy that might be more likely. Hopefully they knew about that before they traded up. Taking Fields is a gamble and I don't think you gamble with the third pick. Lance is a really good fit IMO for much of the things I've seen the Niners run last season. His lack of experience puts him in the gamble category as well for me. Jones is a fairly well proven guy against high level competition but probably has the lowest ceiling. It will be interesting to watch what they do and how they justify the pick. I'm kind of thinking they traded up to get Fields but then had second thoughts.

I just heard today that the 49er player eval staff wants Lantz but Shanahan wants Mac Jones.

will be very interesting, as always.

I'd rather have Trask than either of those guys, especially Mond. His throwing mechanics are just too stiff for me.

I'm the one who said Lance to the Niners when they made that move.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

I do not understand the Bama QB potentially going so high. I also don't know how you evaluate a QB from that program because they are so loaded and iust have so many better players than everyone else.

Jones doesn't jump out at me when I watch him play and seems like a career back up to me.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

I am thoroughly confident that my Raiders will screw up their 1st round pick.

Dang, I think the Raiders will draft Micah Parsons or the Kentucky 4.38 OLB Edge speedser.

 

[WestCoastCornhusker2]

The #6 and #7 QB's should be Davis Mills (Stanford) and Kellen Mond (Texas A & M).

I'd much rather take Kyle Trask in round 2 or 3 than Jones in the top 10 overall. I think Trask is better.

 

[WestCoastCornhusker2]

Haha , I guess our trend is to draft a position of need #17 overall that we could have gotten in 2nd or 3rd round. Probably a right OT.

Agreed. Trask is a gamer and very underrated.

 

[baseball31ne]

Trask with roughly equal talent see what he does vs when his top flight teammates step off the field.

would be excited if my team could get him 2nd or 3rd round.

Jones had even more top flight receivers, and a better OL, and the best RB in the nation.

I hope they stay on brand and take a flashy WR with an attitude problem

 

[baseball31ne]

Jones did and that’s why I’m not as high on him. I’ll take Trask looking at the evening across-the-board talent when he went up against the best teams and how we did.

 

[bomber89]

My Chiefs already drafted their 1st rounder in LT Orlando Brown. Great trade in my opinion. You only have a 3-6 year window and they are in year 4 so they only have the next two or three years before CAP HELL is in full effect. Spend it all now and pay later, for a superbowl its worth it.

 

[John_J_Rambo]

Trey Lance goes #3

good for him

zero FBS offers to play QB out of high school

 

[John_J_Rambo]

if somehow by the grace of the football gods the Bears can snag Justin Fields, I will be very excited

 

[John_J_Rambo]

 

[John_J_Rambo]

holy sh*t Bears trade up to 11... please not Jones

 

[John_J_Rambo]

HOLY SH*T THEY DID IT!!!!

As a vikings fan, I will too....🤣

 

[scarletred]

Trace Lance unreal know one seen that he could have been this high of a draft pick and know one recruited him in a P5 conference..

Totally upset with Gruden for picking a 2nd 3rd rounder 17th overall, I wanted Caleb Farley or Jamin Davis.

 

[baseball31ne]

Excited the Steelers got their man at RB. Harris being there is a steal for them. Perfect fit and is ready to be a weapon in the passing game catching and blocking.

Cole Payton next?

NDSU churns out NFL QBs. Huskers, meanwhile.......

Don't forget Wyoming and BYU.

 

[HBK4life]

Alabama with 6 first round picks. ****ing 6 first rounders. 😠. So tired of Bama.

I assume you are right and it is Gruden with the final say, but this is yet another head-scratcher.

The Mayock/Gruden combo definitely have no idea what VALUE means in the draft.

 

[HuskerAlum92]

The Big12 was shut out of NFL first round. The last major conference to be shut out as a whole was the Big East in 2006.

unfortunately OU has some potential future 1st rounders on this years team..

 

[John_J_Rambo]

Bama's 2017 recruiting class has produced 8 first rounders

kinda good

 

[dinglefritz]

Some of NDSU's success in turning out NFL QBs is playing so much under center and a more pro style offense. They recruit under the radar physically talented kids and then let them develop confidence behind a mature offensive line.

Fortunately Buffalo just lost their head coach. Seriously. That game had me concerned. Leipold leaving helps.

as opposed to recruiting all-over-the-radar physically talented kids who regress behind sieves.

seems maybe like a strategy a program that's let 2(!) of these QBs walk right out of the backyard while floundering in their attempt to keep up with the Joneses should employ.

then again, what do I know. I just post here.

I am, however, extraordinarily confident that NDSU has been courting Flores while frost continues his years-long, nation-wide search for the 2nd coming of Milton.

gee, who could ever guess how that's going to end?

 

[TruHusker]

It seems we go over this same plowed ground all the time. Yes there are always exceptions, yes sometimes people do work harder than others, yes sometimes 18 year old males are not fully mature BUT - the key piece no matter what is someone has to see the ability and develop it. For every one we hear about there are hundreds who bomb out. Show me some development in players at all positions.
