I fully agree. I was very high on McMillan but I don’t like this look from him at all. I don’t like taking Warren at 7 but I won’t lose my shit over it. I really hope they can trade down.
Interesting article here on QBs. Matt Miller from ESPN https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2025/...st-round-qbs-2020-2025-prospects-ward-sanders ESPN "polled NFL scouts, decision-makers and analysts to help build the list, and pre-draft grades were the only consideration here.". Prospects were 2020 to 2025 plus Cam and Sanders. Cam was #18 and Sanders #20. For reference, Zach #9 and Fields #14. So, even if Sanders is there at #7, I don't think I am running to the podium. 6-1.5 height coupled with weaker arm is a concern about his prospects. Honestly, I would rather sign Fields, who I still think can realize some of the potential he had. Then maybe a QB later in the draft or if somehow Travis is ready for OTAs on April 7th (seems doubtful now). Keep him a 3d. But if not, we can get someone later in the draft or just roll with Fields and Taylor. But not with #7. The only one I would consider at 7 is Cam, and need to watch more there. And Cam is short too. Definitely no trade up though.
After the combine I stand by this statement. Sign Fields, trade down, draft any one of the names above, in order of preference W Campbell, J Campbell, Membou, Warren, Loveland (maybe McMillan but I need to see what he does on his pro day).
I don’t understand the point of that exercise. The scouts and analysts polled just want to be wrong again?
I like Jaxson Dart b/c his name is really cool. On the other hand, it looked like he was chewing gum during his combine workout. Zach Wilson also was chewing gum on his pro day workout. That's a bad sign.
The QB combines/pro days seem silly. It doesn't matter how well you can throw the ball. You need to read defenses and have pocket presence. Those are crucial skills needed by NFL QBs.
It's also a bad sign that he looks a bit like Zach Wilson, LOL. But he threw very well at the combine, I was impressed. I also like Quinn Ewers from Texas. I like QBs who have a seemingly effortless delivery of the ball even on deep throws. He has that. Earlier in this thread I said I would draft Milroe at 7. After seeing his combine workout, I retract that, but I would draft him later, say round 2 or 3, if the Jets haven't drafted or signed another QB earlier.
