Those are the first three picks in round order. He’d be the 3rd round pick.
Richardson should stay in school. If he advances as a passer he’ll be #1 in 2024.

Richardson is going to be the most polarizing player in this class. I've read sources that see him as a Top Ten lock. Comps to Cam Newton and Josh Allen. Some who say he's going to be what Tim Tebow was supposed to be.Grahamburn wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 7:14 amThose are the first three picks in round order. He’d be the 3rd round pick.

Fun Fact: A boy born to Samoan parents in America is 56x more likely to play in the NFL than any other boy born in America.
I don’t think he can be “overdrafted.” If he’s Josh Allen or Cam Newton he should be the #1 pick.MJW wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 6:25 amRichardson is going to be the most polarizing player in this class.

And others who think he might have to change positions because he's never going to have NFL accuracy (so, what Tim Tebow was.)
Personally, I wouldn't want my team to use any first rounder on him. But second round, without that pressure (and with a much safer pick in the bank already?) He's really interesting.
That said, if he throws well in shorts, some "QB Guru" who misses out at the top of the class will probably overdraft him.
I'd argue that athleticism is a must for QBs in today's NFL. The league moves quickly. Statues use to be able to get it done 2-3 years ago. They can't anymore.Snake wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 8:22 pm @King Bootz asked me where I would take Jayden Daniels. If I would take him in the first, or wait for the second round.

I’m watching this league. I see athletic quarterbacks killing it everywhere.
I’m betting on athleticism. Escapability, the ability to generate looks on the move. This is the league now. Tom Brady loses interior protectors and now he looks like shit.
There are very few NFL QBs - at least, designated starters - who can't move a little. Better than 95% of the QBs I grew up with, anyway. The statue QB has gone the way of the safety who can only hit, or the 270 lbs inside linebacker. Those guys pop up on occasion but they're rarities.King Bootz wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 8:28 pmI'd argue that athleticism is a must for QBs in today's NFL. The league moves quickly.

I don't know much about Daniels game but I do like that he has experience. He's someone we likely will keep an eye on.
There's no evidence Leftwich has any interest in a mobile QB, if we assume the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Drafting Trask doesn't seem like a move by a guy itching to install the zone read.BucsNBills wrote: ↑Tue Dec 20, 2022 8:46 am Anthony Richardson does have some Josh Allen type college stats so far. If we get rid of the clowns and bring in an offensive minded coach that's worked with similar QBs then I could be intrigued by us taking a shot.
Maybe Ken Dorsey? Or the Eagles OC?
But drafting Richardson with Bowles standing there with his thousand yard stare and Leftwich clicking Random Play from Madden playbooks is a recipe for disaster.
You may not be wrong there. I’m gonna take a look at Richardson tonight.
What does that even mean?
Richardson is a better prospect, flat out. Fun factoid - of the quarterbacks drafted in 2022, Willis had, by far, the worst completion % from a clean pocket. In fact if memory serves it was one of the worst in the country. He's also significantly smaller (3 inches and 30 lbs) than Richardson. But with a guy like that, you're looking for traits. Willis can do some things physically you can build on. Richardson does more of those things, and is a better pure passer.
Arians, Licht, Leftwich, and Bowles should all have to watch Trask play us into a top 5 pick and then get fired.
I want to trade Evans and some of our defensive pieces so we can throw all our assets towards the offense for 2024 and beyond. We need to be MUCH faster, younger, and cheaper on the offense literally at every position group. We need deep speed, short area quickness, shiftiness, separators, damn near everything to do with speed we need in droves.MJW wrote: ↑Sun Jan 01, 2023 6:44 am Random Thoughts.
1) Don't reach for a quarterback. Please. Now is absolutely not the time.
2) Build the lines whenever reaching won't be required.
3) Don't draft for 2023. Even if one would be inclined to draft for "next year," nothing we do in this draft is going to keep us competitive short term.
4) Don't (ever) play the, "We have a guy under contract at that position for 3 more years!" game. You never win. Turnover, scheme change, and injury change everything frequently. Draft talented players who fit your philosophy. There are literally a thousand examples of teams passing on clearly superior players because they were "set" at a position only to look like assholes within the next 18 months.
5) That said, don't draft a running back until Day Three, if at all. Just don't. We can litigate the topic again some other time.
6) If we do draft a receiver high, it needs to be someone with a 5th gear and/or true RAC ability. This is a slowest, plodding-est Bucs offense I can remember since our shitty OC was our shitty QB hucking balls to Sammie Fucking Stroughter. We haven't had a guy who could "steal" big plays from good defenses since AB wandered off the field.
7) This is the flipside to #4 - don't draft a guy because you need to fill a hole on the current roster. It never works out. Having a mediocre Day Two pick manning a spot instead of a mediocre veteran doesn't make you better. As my dad liked to say, "flush $100 down your toilet and see if it's worth more."
We'd be insane to take him? Utterly bugfuck crazy?
