Draft a QB this year
Posted on 3/21/22 at 2:02 pm

The contract Jameis is signing is not a long term commitment to him. If someone falls to you that has good upside, I am all for drafting a QB in round 1 or 2. You let Jameis run the show this year and give your drafted QB a chance to compete next year. Worst case is you have a young, cheap QB with potential ready to start in year 3. Best case, you have a young, cheap QB with potential that beats out Jameis next season.

The deal they gave him is probably a prove it type of deal. Giving him a chance to earn a long term contract.

Ok genius, which one?
This ain’t madden bro. You can’t just pick a QB then go in and change his ratings after you realize you drafted a shite sandwich

I think prove it deals and bridge deals for a vet QB are the same thing.
You know that all the restructures pushed money back to the next few years. Jameis gives you a chance to compete the next few years, but a QB on a rookie contract will allow you to remain competitive while all those studs next contracts are coming due.

Whichever one Mickey and Jeff want. Mike D has said it often. When you don't have a franchise QB, you are in the drafting QB business. Unless you think Ian Book will develop into something, you draft someone else.

I certainly don't think they're done at the QB position.
I could see another vet and a draft pick.
Personally I hope they are still working the phones with Cleveland.

Get some help for the team's needs in this draft and worry about a quarterback next draft. This draft's crop of quarterbacks are not too good.

There are zero QBs in this draft that I’d consider to be franchise QBs
You can’t shoehorn a pick just because that’s the position you want to go with

I agree but also these sorts of evaluations are wrong pretty often. There are a ton of "surefire future" type guys going #1 overall like Lawrence, Winston etc meanwhile guys like Watson and Mahomes are predicted to be not as good and fall into the teens
I say this only to say that most likely there is probably at least one guy in this class who will be a future starter for a team. I trust our scouting department, if they actually love a guy then I'm fine with it.

I don't really like any of the QBs this draft. Take a WR who can make an impact immediately to make life easier for Jameis and CGM. We can revisit QB next draft if Jameis sucks, but I liked what I saw from him last year with a MASH unit at WR

Don't need to grab a burner
Posted on 3/21/22 at 2:23 pm to saints5021
There isn’t one really worth drafting, but let’s just draft one for shits and giggles.
Posted on 3/21/22 at 2:26 pm to saints5021
They'll all be gone by 13. You now have Atlanta, Seattle, Carolina, Houston, maybe even Washington and New York all competing for a draft QB.

Exactly. This is what shite organizations with poor leadership does.

I personally don’t see any qb’s in this draft that look like long term nfl starters
Posted on 3/21/22 at 3:17 pm to saints5021
We need a 2nd string Qb now not a rookie
Posted on 3/21/22 at 3:18 pm to saints5021
I’d rather move up and get one of the top OL/DL prospect.

Im afraid you are right, but I would jump on Pickett if he were to fall to 18.

There is not a single QB in the draft that I would say has "good upside".
It's the weakest QB draft I can remember, and I've been following drafts since the mid-90s.
OTOH, next year looks solid.
So you sign Famous for two years. If he doesn't absolutely light up the scoreboard this year, draft a QB next year and go from there.
