If no, why move up into the third to arguably fill a back up role when we have holes at starting positions in several areas? I don't mind giving up a 7 to move up a couple of spots. I do mind grabbing a QB who may not ever be considered to start vs getting a RB, WR, or a leo who would have a chance to improve our team and start from day 1.
No biggie, I don't hate the kid.
What I see with him is a quick release, smart, runs a ton of play actions etc...
His arm is weak sauce but if he can't get the scheme can get the ball where it needs to go I'm fine with the pick...think peterman brought more to the table and my only issue is picking him in the 3rd...5th rd all day.
Still a ton of amazing talent on the board which I hope we end up going and getting.
Lawson, Mack, Reynolds, butt, davenport, ford, jones, some solid OGs etc...
