Official Draft pick position watch thread

The number of sacks collected in a college season or career more times than not does not translate to the NFL. Take a look at the all time college sack leaders and then search their NFL careers. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/le ... areer.html

Of course. Most guys on that list played for small schools against crap competition for 4 years. The best guys in the NFL play for 1-3 years against top competition and come out. TJ Watt, for instance, had 11.5 sacks his one season of actually playing. JJ Watt 11.5 over two years. Miles Garrett 31 over 3 years. You can't use one stat to determine success, but it is an indication that he's getting the job done, and he's doing it against SEC competition.

It was you that brought up sacks. You could've brought up TFL too, but you'd find similar patterns in NFL success, same things happen from the high school to college level all the time. It's difficult to tell who will be or won't be good or great on these stats alone. Just watch the games and see how they play.

interesting article from Staton and a really good point he makes about the inconsistency of the the lack of enthusiasm for this QB class after all the reaches (or consideration of such) last year. Because there isn't clear and obvious separation between Young, Stroud, Levis, and to a lesser degree Richardson, that makes it harder to get excited about any one of them. But take away two or three of those and we would likely be all hyped about the one or two left.

Young and Stroud are the only NFL ready QBs. Everybody else is basically last year's crop. The difference is Levis and Richardson aren't actually good QBs, but damn they are impressive physical specimens. Levis is 24 years old (or will be at draft time I can't remember) that is built like a MLB with bad footwork and poor decision making. Richardson has almost no experience, runs like a gazelle but can't hit the broad side of a barn with his throws, can't read coverage, and is easily fooled by any non-vanilla defense. He is young, though, so there's hope he could be fixed. I don't see it. I watched 3 of his games now and he has looked absolutely terrible in all of them. The physical tools are evident, but the flaws are oh-so-glaring.

SOMEBODY will reach for both of them, and Young/Stroud will go in top 4, so you could easily see 4 QBs in the top 10, and a couple more like McKee later in the round. There are actually several guys further down the list that could be good. I like Hooker for a value pick (he would've been in the top list if he hadn't gotten hurt), but there are probably 10 guys that could well be NFL QBs that will be available after the 2nd round.

It pleases me to see Brock pumping up Bryce Young. Great strategy from a well followed voice. Hopefully Houston is listening.

I do think the prospect of picking Anthony Richardson and Bijan Robinson is a very enticing prospect, even if we clearly have bigger needs than RB. Think of the rushing potential of a Richardson, Walker, Robinson 2 back set up, any creative coordinator would be able to work wonders with that.

I think it also has the maximum potential for Seahawks twitter meltdown.

It’s very tempting but we can’t forget that our DL is not good and the DL depth even worse. We have the rest of the season, the senior bowl, the combine, and free agency to go before the draft. Maybe our draft needs will clarify more by then.

Now Bijan Robinson is interesting. I like that pick... and if they decided to run wishbone, Richardson, Robinson and Walker would be game changing

Don't care what anyone says.

1. We need to take DL with 1st 1, 2nd is up in the air

2. I don't care who we trade with I just know I want someone other teams 1st next year. The crop of QBs next doesn't even compare to QBs this year.

Go Bears!!!!

Who would the Beers be likely to draft with the #2 pick assuming the Texans take Bryce Young? They can't be sold on Fields as their QB of the future.

So you are hoping to get Carter now? Personally i don't care that much because the Seahawks need both a DT and an Edge.

Despite my initials I prefer an Edge to a DT.
