He seems to be coveted, but I am hesitant about him. He did have one great year, but he has only played in 18 games I think.

Dwayne Haskins had more experience than him leaving college.

Yeah but unlike Haskins, he’s reported to be a grinder. One of the hardest working, most detailed oriented, organized players you’ll ever meet. That’s a recipe for for success even if you have limited gam experiences. Those are the intangibles that help you grow. Unlike raw talent and a lazy work ethic.

Yeah, I don't know that much about him. Haven't seen one game of his. I'm sure he is all you describe him to be, but that won't make him ready for the NFL in 2021. If you are going to draft a player in the top of the 1st round, he should be coming in to start in year 1 - at least at some point.

Not if you’re Aaron Rodgers. And yes, I know, there was Brett Favre. But if he’s not ready, you get a 1-2 year bridge vet and let the kid grow. If the kid isn’t NFL ready, but has the requisite tools to excel, you got to look at it that way. I would honestly prefer it, bc it would give us another year or two to build a better line and skill position weapons so when the kid comes in you aren’t putting as much pressure on him to do more with less.

Aaron Rodgers was pick # 24, not the top half of the 1st round. I'd be more willing to let a QB sit for a year and learn if he's picked ~20-32. Lance is projected to be picked in the top 10, some mocks have him as early as #4. If that's the case, he should start day 1.

Mahomes was picked at #10.

I doubt if Lance starts day 1, no matter where he's drafted.

Well, that's kinda my point. I don't want him in the 1st round - he's not ready to start.

In my opinion, if you are a 1st rounder you had better be starting on day 1 - period.
