I wonder what % approve of the pick year over year. There are always hair-pullers and parade throwers each time. I think this year could be a real wildcard for emotional reactions. I’m gonna go get good snacks for the show.
Davis I went outside and yelled lol (Lattimore on the board) luckily I lived in the country at the time Jackson I kinda of expected it, and we needed a CB. So was ok with it. Evans was the ILB I wanted, I remember it well. I wanted Vander Esch, Evans, or Hubbard that year (3,2,1) Simmons I was very happy with, we needed a DT/3-4 E, and he was TOP talent prior to injury. Wilson I watched it on my phone from the breakroom at work -- I just stood there. Farley I was happy with. I had looked at the list of draft pick visits, and noticed him on there, and watched tape of him days before the draft. I was most definitely predicting either Farley or Newsome at 22.
Pretty interesting that we’ve spent visits on all the top QB’s. Have we met with 1st round QB’s in the previous years? I think the Tannehill no show secretly pissed off the FO & Vrabel. Wouldn’t be shocked at all to see them go QB if one of the guys they like falls. Personally, I like Carson Strong the most.
If his knee could hold up, he has the arm talent. Needs to do better looking off defenders though. A hard worker who, if healthy, has starter potential.
Yeah he has crazy arm talent. I think his mobility issues are a bit overblown because he admitted to playing all of last season on a bum knee. Doctors said he couldn’t make it worse so he played. If we draft a QB they will have time to sit and develop which will be nice. None of them are ready to go day 1 it seems.
The knee is a long-time injury and he had cadaver cartilage used to repair. If that is the permanent solution then you get a steal late in the draft. Don’t see him going before 5th round.
I wrote this blog 2 years ago on Facebook prepping for the draft - I have the actual visit list for 2017, 2019, 2020. But I'd have to do some digging to find the 2018. This is the closest I can come to just off hand. I do recall one of the 2018 QBs interviewed was Josh Allen but I think that was a minor attempt at draft flow manipulation. But to ask have we touched on almost every top quarterback within this class - it would appear not since JROB had taken over 2019 was only mid round QBs like Shurmur, etc. 2020 same story with QBs like Peyton Ramsey.
