    I agree. I think the 25 Class is very underrated but with Manning and Holstein and others the hype is with the 26 Class.

    I think he's doing Dart a little dirty. He might be a passer similar to Minshew (though, his upside is a bit higher than that), but he really is a very good runner. I don't think he is going to be a primary runner, but he would be a better version of Daniel Jones, Kyler Murray with more size, or a slightly more athletic Baker Mayfield.

    QB's are so hard to project because the mental side of the game is so important, and that is the hardest part for fans to analyze. You want a hyper competitive guy that has a lot of self confidence and a good amount of swagger. If you pair that with a good football acumen and the ability to process the defense pre and post snap mostly successfully... then you have a guy. You just have to draft someone that has most of these things, and then hope you develop the rest. Its the hardest position to draft for a reason, and there have been PLENTY of first round busts to show for it.

    If Dart is there at 52 or 83 you have to consider him.

    I’m locking in on Howard but would be good with Dart, too. Both would benefit sitting for a year and working on their mechanics instead of thrusting them into a starting roll.

    I 100% agree, though, I would find it extremely unlikely he lasts to 52. I would imagine he ends up becoming a first round pick. There are just too many QB needy teams for only 2 QB's to go in the first round. Someone will like him and take a shot on him. Tennessee, Cleveland, NYJ, NYG, Raiders, Saints, and potentially the Colts and the Seahawks could be looking to get their QB of the future. Even if only 2 go in the first, those early second round picks are going to see all the same names scroll through again and potentially be a landing spot for Dart, Ewers, and Milroe.

    I also like Howard. I think there's a really good shot he's available at 52 or even in the 3rd if we are lucky.

    Right. This is why I won't be surprised or disappointed if the Steelers have a QB they like and take him at 21. You must have a QB. WE are a QB hungry team.
