Who is your developmental QB of choice in this draft?

[WestCoastRam]

But (by agreeing with Louisville) you were saying that you THINK Tyler Shough SHOULD go late Round Three?

Is that correct?

I think this is a fun draft for Quarterbacks.

As I have posted a few times, I hope the Rams do not select a QB. However, I think it will be entertaining and interesting to see how high, and where Sanders, Dart, Shough and Milroe all go.

The talent level, age and injury concerns honestly put him 90-120ish for me.

But I think it's worth noting, in a draft that's not strong at a number of spots, teams are more likely to have wildly different grades on a position like QB. All it takes is 1-2 teams to view a guy at QB worthy of taking in the 1st round while the majority of teams view that guy as worth a pick around 90.

Just cause a draft is bad at QB doesn't keep QB's from being taken in the 1st round. I still think only two QBs go in the 1st round. Most likely Ward and Shedeur. But if I consider putting money on it I start to get a little shaky and I can see a scenario where Shough and Dart go in the 1st round as well... but just not likely. Say 20%.

I was wrong on Bo Nix.

Me too, but if you listen to a few of the podcasters, some feel Nix is a product of Asshole Face’s scheme. He knows how to get the most from that sort of QB.

Personally, I thought he looked pretty good.

I think many of us are of that same mindset. I hope they don’t draft one of these QBs, but if they do, then I’d prefer……

Yeah, my only question to you was what You Think of Shough.

Not what might happen, could happen or will happen.

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Shadeur would be my top choice, but I think the rumors of him falling in the draft is smoke and mirrors.... Other than that, Millroe developing behind Stafford under McVay could end up being really special

you sure you know how internet message boards work?

I only asked for your opinion on a player. Where is the disconnect?

Why waste a draft pick? we can cruise with our QBs this year.

We could go the UDFA route with DJ Uiagalelei. Haha guy was a projected 1st at one point and has dropped to udfa status.

He would definitely be a project. Dude has went way down hill but I'd rather go UDFA over a draft pick. I don't know if he's bettwr than Stetson Bennett

I'd rather stack our defense and retool offense and focus on QB next Years draft.

They have 8 picks.... they can still do damage if they spend a pick on a QB.

 

[TheTackle]

Dart is not worthy of a 1st round pick IMO so much depends on whether we trade back. Even then he might be gone before we pick at 26 - let alone further back. There are some teams desperate for a QB. Would Sanders sit happily behind Stafford without causing problems? All those things considered I went with Milroe after we have traded down - preferably more than once. I am not convinced he is the next coming of Mahomes or Jackson but, in our offense, he could be better than Jalen Hurts

Apparently, according to the draft experts, there are going to be around 20 guys who are NOT considered to be 1st round picks in this draft who will be picked in the 1st round. So I wouldn't get hung up on whether a player is 1st round worthy or not.

Yup, and 2-3 years from now, the hindsight experts can say who was 1st round worthy or not

Agreed. Where a player goes off the board is where his value is. Teams get these picks wrong all the time, but supply and demand is part of that equation. He will hit or not. But if you're a GM sitting back with some bullshit pie in the sky board that is not adjusted for supply and demand you're gonna be lining up every year with a steaming pile of shit in your offensive backfield.

Also and btw I don't stack a full board so all I can do is guess on these guys. I have my ideas on who has value where, but I realize all that shit goes out the window the moment your organization decides that specific QB is the right one to fit what you want to do and function as the face of your franchise.

You realise that works the other way too, right? For example, it explains why drafts are littered with 1st round reaches

Does that apply to Tutu over Creed, future hall of famer, Humphrey too?

Of course. But the position need is the position need around this league. As a GM your job is to stack that roster with pieces the head coach can win with.

Right now it's going to be in vogue to say well look at Philly winning it all with a so-so QB. But they had an epic OL, a HoF level RB, and a top defense. So in a way it's like drawing parallels with the Ravens when they won it with Dilfer. I think the Eagles had a better QB obviously than Dilweed but point is you can win in this league different ways but doing it without a difference maker at QB is very hard and requires a top-notch roster in the other positions, which for many GMs is going to be very tough to pull off.

Obviously the Eagles GM is one of the best around. But the goal is not to win a title here and there, at least it would not be for me. It would be to win four or five in a decade. And you're not gonna do that without a long term stud QB in place.

 

[fanotodd]

Dart > McCord > Rourke is my preference order.

Where would you put the mix from Notre Dame (Riley) on that list?

Last, although I'd try him as a TE or ST guy like Skowroneck

 

[Selassie I]

I'm ruling out the top 2... unless Sanders somehow dropped to us in the 1st. Even then though I'd probably really want to pass on him.

The guy that I watched during his early college career closely was Dillon Gabriel. He started college at UCF so all his games were watched live in my house.

I'm a little surprised he doesn't get more press because he can accurately sling the ball all over the field. I think he has a very high ceiling because he has rare arm talent. His injury history may be part of it... plus, he's a lefty. I've never liked lefties since Steve Young. Well, I should say lefty QBs... because my mom is a lefty and so is my wife.

I hope we pass on drafting a QB this year though... with the exception of Gabriel being still available in the 6th round.

 

[PhillyRam]

Whats your point? That good players get drafted later? Like Kobie Turner & Puka Nacua?

Yes, that happens which is why one pick committed to a developmental QB, that has upside, is not a big deal because you can draft impact players later. So thanks for making that point.
