I guess I am in the minority that loved watching this dude play and the skill set he has. I remember him juking defenders and throwing lasers.

I am no draftnik nor do I follow the college game like some of you so what do I know.

I get the size and character concerns.

I guess me, Mcvay and Snead will be alone in our excitement :)

I'm not saying this guy doesn't have talent. I'm saying I don't think it will translate to the NFL. And the guy that I wanted went not many pics after.
Who did you want? Tune?

Are you picking a QB for a backup spot and that won’t turtle if he needs to come in and play due to injury? Or picking a QB with upside as a potential LT starting option?

I think they went the former. From that standpoint- solid pick because that’s exactly what they are getting Day 1.

I can't wait for our next pic so we can hopefully move on with some positive vibes, way too long in between picks

At first I felt it was a reach, but can't say that with the run on QBs.

We needed a QB, and I trust McVay. I do think Bennett has some magic to him, and he definitely wouldn't be the first player that people had pegged wrong

Plus you know Bennett looks up to Stafford. Dude is going to be a sponge absorbing whatever he can get as Stafford's #2. I like the pick. He's miles above Wolford and Perkins.

Awful pick. You want to draft a backup qb? Wait until 6th round.
You want to draft a kid who could be a starter? 4th round makes sense
There is no chance Bennett is ever starter material.

This is a joke of a pick. Why not Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Aidan O’Connell?

Stetson Bennett in the 4th round? I dont understand what we are doing…
We might as well have picked up a teams late QB cut as they whittled it down to 53.

That's probably how much production we'll get out of this guy if we need to use him.

There's some picks at 4 that could have contributed as rotational cornerback or safety or defensive lineman.

(one would think)

Feels like a reach, hope his tangibles are an upgrade over Wolford and Perkins at least

I absolutely LOOOOVE this pick. I'm a huge Bennett fan. Dude has a much better arm than given credit for. He's got mobility, can really zip the ball, shows up in the biggest moments and full of swagger and confidence.

Lol, I had a very distinct feeling that we’d draft him but didn’t want to post about it because I didn’t really want to… especially with our 4th. But oh well, the Stafford/Georgia connection might be a good influence for him. Like others I am ok with pick just wish it was with a later one.

Not sure the opportunity cost checks out with this one.
