2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

There have been a LOT of Total BUST with top QB picks .. I'm not even sure if it's 50/50 . Remember "Someone"thought Lance was the Guy in San Francisco that was a fail .. yea lucky they got Purdy to soften that blow , and to think every team in league passed on Purdy like 7 times before he was chosen last .. that tells me it's all a guessing game just like this coach search ..I actually could see Sam under different system/coaching being as good as some of these can't miss prospects.. you can't throw a rookie to the wolves in this league and expect good results.. One of these Top 3 Qb will fail you can bet on it !


I’d be willing to say 2 of the top 3 QBs fail and one of the later QBs excels.

The QB position is almost impossible to predict.

You draft them based on their potential and ceiling.

Even a “can’t miss” T Law is honestly avg as hell and has been his whole career so far.

Josh Allen comes in out of no where and is a top 5 QB. You honestly just never know

Sure but go back and look at the QBs drafted by round:

If you had a to choose a round in which you are going to find your franchise QB which round is it?

You are far more likely to find a good QB in the first than any other round.

Sure there will be busts but your odds on hitting are far better than later rounds. For every Brock Purdy you have to draft 20 Greg McElroys.

No doubt which at #2 you have to take QB

Definitely 1 of my top 5 favorite drafts I've personally done:

2. Jayden Daniels - QB - LSU
36. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. - CB - Missouri
40. Tyler Nubin - S - Minnesota
67. Patrick Paul - OT - Houston
100. Junior Colson - LB - Michigan
102. Sataoa Laumea - OT - Utah
137. Drake Nugent - OC - Michigan
180. Nehemiah Pritchett - CB - Auburn
219. Clark Barrington - OG - Baylor

We need to find the second coming of Tre’ Johnson (a healthy one) at G. He was an absolute animal when healthy, he mauled people.

Just finished JD tape. I’m all in. Dynamic athlete, duel threat with a very accurate arm. Arm strength is good enough, it’s not Drake maye level but it’s Caleb level.

I've just about convinced my self that J Daniels should be our pick at #2. I'm no QB expert but I just don't see any negatives that would overcome the many positives he has. The other two possibles have more things about them that tend to erode my confidence in them. Perhaps I'll comment more on their plusses and minuses in a future post. Hopefully, you can stand to wait for my post without peeing your pants in anticipation.

JD reminds me too much of RG3 as far as style of play. If it were up to me, I would take either Williams or Maye. B Johnson (if he is our next coach) will probably want more of a pocket passer but I will support whatever the powers at be choose.

Worrying about Daniels being like RG3 is the same type thing Houston avoided by taking Stroud and not worrying about the OSU QB success in the past. I don't think they're that similar. Don't even think their running styles are that similar.

Really hoping we end up with him.

The RG 3 comparison is very fair.
Both slightly built Uber athletic QBs that win the Heisman trophy.

I’m a die hard LSU fan and have watched every game. I invite you all to watch both FSU vs LSU games he played. They are the best referral of Daniels game.
You can see how raw, and poor QB skills he has, and how much of a run first athlete he is in the first FSU game. You can see how much he matures over the first year, and becomes a better QB in the second game.

He lost both games. Not only that, he was our played at the position by FSU.

He is a 1 read and tuck it QB, just like RG3. Cannot diagnose presnap read and go through the route tree progressions. He has his hot read and tucks it 9/10 plays.

I understand the excitement, but must present the caveat emptor.
