The Too Soon 2022 NFL Draft Thread

[skinsfaninok]

What makes Willis intriguing is he’s like Trey Lance, big arm and can move. But he’s not pro ready. I want a guy that is ready to go

Between our history of drafting quarterbacks and this particular class of them I hate the idea of taking one too early.

Yes but Snyder isn't picking the QB this time. It will be Ron, Mayhew, Scott, Zampese and Hurney. That is a big difference.

Bullshit.
Turner and Zampese, both gifted jobs from daddy’s contacts, will give Snyder a scouting report of veteran QB available.
Mayhew and Hurney will give Dan a scouting report of draft able QBs.

Dan will be deciding on who they get.
My source? 2+ decades of offseason bullshit with this team.

Regardless of Snyder, what evidence is there that this front office, including Ron, has a track record of drafting/developing good quarterbacks? If all you have to go on is Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford, that is pretty thin. We don't have the first pick in the draft and neither of those guys has done anything to speak of on a consistent basis anyway. Picking the number one consensus quarterback with the first pick doesn't take much football IQ, quite the opposite when you look at the results over the years.

That's a fine argument, but conversely, what evidence is there that this front office, including Ron, is incapable of drafting/developing good quarterbacks? Cam Newton and Matthew Stafford is all we have to go on. There are plenty of examples of number one consensus quarterbacks failing in the NFL. The only two we have to go on did not fail.

Here in Washington they inherited Smith coming off a devastating injury, and Haskins who was a lost cause. They got rid of Haskins in year 1, something maybe a lot of Coaches/Front Offices might not have done so quickly - who knows. Smith retired. They have yet to draft a QB for development here. They attempted to bring in a capable Veteran as a stop gap this year, and he was hurt in the first quarter of the first game. Allen is a backup, Heinicke is a backup, and are only playing because Fitz got hurt.

The 2021 plan didn't work - I'll give you that. Does that make it a bad plan? Not in my opinion since the main contributor to the plan failing was the unexpected injury to Fitz. Since they did make a play for Stafford, and were rumored to be in discussions with regard to other quality Veteran QBs, you can't say they didn't try to go that route. So the last thing is maybe they should have drafted a QB. Well, none of the QBs drafted in 2021 are exactly lighting up the league right now. Maybe they weren't enamored with any of the 2021 draft options at QB - especially considering the cost to move up to get them.

The team needs a QB - there is no debating that. I do think they have tried to do something about that, but have perhaps been unwilling to pony up what it is going to cost to get one. Maybe this year has done enough to convince them otherwise. We will see this offseason. But I don't think there is any evidence to suggest that this front office, including Ron, is incapable of drafting/developing good quarterbacks.

I like this one. Focus on offense. Defensive performance is so variable from game to game let alone season to season. Offensive success is far easier to measure. How many first round picks do we have playing defense? Yet we all know key to success is consistent offensive play and we have woefully ignored that

Quarterback is totally up in the air. All depends on where. I feel like if we had good linebackers and another safety we would be in the playoffs right now even with our offense not firing on all cylinders.

In free agency go after the best TE, to go with Logan. That is an absolute must in our offense. Also a work horse RB. Maybe a K too.

I think our wr corp will be fine. Our d line is fine.

Do not reach on a quarterback if there is a stud Linebacker available.

[sdskinsfan2001]

I'm OK with Pickett, Corral, and Howell in the 1st.

And Ridder, Strong, Willis, and Armstrong in the 2nd.

We need to pull the trigger on a QB.

[BaltimoreSkins]

Might be in playoffs but another one and done? Last year 7 of top 10 defenses made the playoffs and only Rams, Ravens and Bucs won a game. This is not a recent trend. All the advanced stats are like DVOA are easier to replicate game to game and season to season in offense. If we have an opportunity to make that better I like the risk.

[EdmundDorf]

Looks like when it is all said and done we may be picking quite high so one of the LT or the S from ND (Kyle Hamilton?) would be my preference, and a QB in the second or trade back into the end of the 1st for a QB. If we resign Leno then the need for a LT is less and we could really do with a talented deep safety

I'd prefer to trade our 1st for Huntley (Not that I like that idea -but prefer it to using our 1st on any of the 2022 rookie QBs).
