Wft quarterback of the future

But I'm concerned that if we do win the division and pick around 19th, we don't reach our make a bad trade. I'm inclined to trust Kyle Smith but he hasn't drafted a QB yet, and I don't count Haskins as his choice. I'm not convinced about Fields but he's probably gone to 5 so not our problem. If Wilson is there at our pick then I would take him, but he might benefit from time behind/mentored by Smith. Lance worries me with his accuracy issues. Seems a poor man's Jackson to me. Trask intrigues me, the only downside seems to be his athleticism; does he have enough mobility for the modern NFL? I'd take a chance on him and work around his running ability if he's there at our spot and rated up there, but I wouldn't reach for him. I commented on Mac Jones earlier, and he looks raw to me with a poor arm.

Let's see where we finish the season and therefore pick. Seems the more successful we are this season the worse off we are after it! 🤨🤪

Speaking strictly in terms of draft position, perhaps. However, I wouldn't say the team is worse off for winning. That's what we're building here, right - a winning culture?

I'd much rather pick 32nd every year than in the top 15.

True, hence the emojis. 😁

But I'd rather pick 32 with a franchise QB already in place than still looking for one. 😊

Wow. I can't imagine what games you have seen to come away with this take on Mac Jones.

The plan should be what Kansas City did. If you want to keep Smith for next year fine. But the number one priority for next year should be drafting the QB of the future.

It just isnt that simple. We have holes to fill so we are not going to reach for one early. That would be a mistake. I would much rather have a stud o lineman in the first and a corner in the second that can step right in for example. We could take one after that and call him the quarterback of the future but who knows if he will be. Look at our history with first rounders for Gods sake.

This is correct, but I’ll say now that we have the football guys making the choice at QB...if they love someone that’s a fit for the offense and culture, get him in the first. Get that extra year in the contract and get him now with Smith is on the team.

Yeah my weariness is completely based on past “football” guys including our owner who is still there. But yes i trust our current FO more.

Jones does not seem to have an elite arm. And it seems like every team Alabama plays is overwhelmed by the total talent of the Alabama team not by anything that Jones does in an elite manner.

Going into next year with this defense, I think it's crucial to load up and take our best shot at winning it all in the next 2-3 years while we have several key guys on their rookie deals. And that means getting playmakers in here. Sorry you can't rely on Harmon and AGG panning out when so far they haven't shown anything to believe they are locks to be highly productive players.

So you think we need to sign a veteran quarterback ala rypien/williams/Schroeder? I do.

This needs to be an offense offseason.

Well rounded TE and WR should be tops on list. I still think adding a Running Back in the draft would be really smart.

A lot of decisions at Oline...but we seem to have solid group who has bought into the scheme. Roullier and Schreff are playing outstanding...Lucas is holding his own in pass pro. Wes Schweitzer is a starter period and Moses is under contract along with Schweitzer and playing well. And Ismel and Charles waiting in the wings.I feel good about our group there

WFT twitter verse is trying to hype up a Watson trade lmao there is no way that happens

No doubt, a couple more pieces on D and this is a championship caliber D. Just need a little more on offense but overall this team is ready to win in the next 2-3 years if they play their cards right.
