Alex Effect - 2019 Draft

Please no Will Grier. Haskins is a top 10 candidate now? I'd have to watch more film of him. Herbert is so overrated to me. But he'll be long gone by the time we pick anyways.

Give me a WR1/CB1/OLB in the 1st and Ryan Finley in the 2nd.

I'll take a guy like Drew Lock in the first round. I love that kid's arm talent. The problem is he's always in the shotgun.

Who was the kid that just blew his knee out? I'd say his career is over. It made Smith's injury look like a sprained ankle.

Have watched film on all 3. Grier is the best right now but Herbert has big upside

Milton from UCF, he was as good of a passer as it gets this yr too. Hope he can come back from that but it was nasty.

Yes that's him, that injury looked horrific

Cut off blood flow, had to have emergency surgery. He's lucky to have 2 legs still.

Unless Grier is Drew Brees. Pass. General concerns plus playing against Big 12 defenses. Pass.

Herbert is going top 10. If we trade up to try to get him, I'm flying to Redskins Park and dickkicking everyone. I say its a 1% chance or less they will but that would be my reaction.

I think we should get the best available qb in the 2nd. Impact player in the 1st and future QB in the 2nd.

Drew Brees did not become Drew Brees until he hooked up with Sean Payton in New Orleans. Else San Diego would have released Phillip Rivers instead of Brees.

That is the winning formula these days in the NFL. Draft a young stud QB, pair him up with a 'QB whisperer'. Then surround him with talent in those first 4 years in the league when that QB is still under his rookie salary. With the rookie salary pool fixed, it allows teams to go out and sign some higher priced free agents on both sides of the ball. Once that QB gets his contract extension that counts 30 mil against the cap, the party is over. A typical 'window' as they call it usually lasts 6 years. Then most rebuild or recharge.

Proof in point:

Seattle - Russell Wilson + Pete Carroll
Philly - Carson Wentz (& Foles) + Doug Pedersen
Los Angeles - Jarred Goff + Sean McVay
Kansas City - Mahommes + Andy Reid

Will Grier is my choice right now
