I was guilty for a week or two of thinking the same.

I'll be taking my lap.

Anybody else joining?

At the time is was accurate but that was before we got to see Shough

I was big on Dart during the draft process as well. I still think that if Dart can stay healthy that he will be a good one.

I didn’t mind the Shough pick, as it was OBVIOUS to me that his upside was MUCH higher than Rattler’s so it was worth the pick.

He has exceeded my expectations though (happily)

I didn’t want Dart but I didn’t want Shough either, lol.

I’m just glad we have a QB.

I sure did. I never said he was a bad prospect. I said Shough was a reach at #40 for his age, injury history and lack of dominant production in college.

7 defensive ends were taken after we took Shough until our pick of Broughton in the 3rd. Zero quarterbacks were taken during that time.

Since the Titans and Giants picked QBs before us, the only teams that needed qbs were us and the browns. The browns passed on him twice before us in the 2nd, so I doubt they were high on him or they would have taken him.

I didn’t think he was worth the gamble that high. Glad I’ve been wrong. But I still think there’s a chance we could have had Ezeriku and still got Shough. That’s strictly my opinion.
