Which QB should the Rams draft in the 1st Round next year?

[Pupped]

Thanks for posting the various QBs, guys... I don't really watch enough college football to have an opinion on these guys until we get closer to the draft.
I just love the idea of McVay having a big, athletic QB.. man, that could be fun.

Here is a better breakdown of Sorsby. Shows the good and bad.
He gets a few things worked out he could be very good.

Was listening to Kiper this morning and he seems to believe that a few of these guys we are talking about will/should stay in school.

They probably should, but I don't think Kiper is considering how the next wave (Manning, Raiola, Holstein, etc) might affect 2025 NFL draft decisions.

Yeah, McShay says the same thing. Thinks most of the guys should go back, but obviously not sure how many will. With the NIL money they can get, some are better off staying.

I haven't read through this thread.

Has it been suggested we shouldn't draft a QB? Are any of them worthy of a 1st round pick?

I would rather take someone off the scrap heap like Daniel Jones for nothing.

It's really still too early in the season to tell.

The scrap heap is an option, but ideally getting a kid on a rookie contract would be HUGE in keeping this talent together over the next few years.

So you'd rather have a Jameis Winston? Russell Wilson? Kenny Pickett? Daniel Jones was on a practice squad last year, any team could have claimed him for nothing. How many re-treads fail miserably in their new environment? Most of them

While true, there is also the perils of staying and having draft stock drop like a stone. Look at Allar and Beck. Many thought they could have been first rounders, now forget it. Look at guys like Nussmier, Klubnik and Weigman who were "next year's draft crop" guys who are now mid to late picks (if at all)
There's a lot to be said about who the competition is and how that effects draft slot. And of course with Jaxson Dart balling out teams that need QB are apt to take one
NIL money is great but so can be the risk that comes with it

I think he is referring to the guys who have fewer than 15 or 20 career starts. That's my thinking as well. I get it that their stock could drop, but their longterm staying power in the league could suffer if not ready and they and up in a bad spot with little experience.

McShay is big on a stat where college QBs with greater than 30 starts, do much better than those with less. He acknowledges there are exceptions, but the data shows those QBs have a better chance for much longer careers with more succes.

As of now, 4 teams at the top of the draft in need of a QB. Not gonna be easy (please do not read this as impossible) for Rams to grab a QB in this draft irrespective of talent and who's coming out.
