General 2025 draft talk

I never said he couldn't be better, but you just completely dimissed my comment and his existence as a football player, with no other explanation than 'Ewers has no pocket presence'. Like, beyond that, he has ZERO value whatsoever.

 

As the kids say he's mid, I have no interest in him looks to be a career backup.

 

Pretty much every QB coming out of college has flaws and things they have to get better at in order to succeed. Its just whether or not you think the flaws are fixable with coaching. Ben was a great rookie QB, but he wasn't a perfect QB as a rookie.

If we think Ewers can learn to read defenses pre snap and quickly post snap, then it won't matter if his pocket presence isn't great. The ball will be out already. That was literally Tom Brady's whole career. He wasn't great against the blitz because his improv skills were awesome. He was great against the blitz because the ball was always out before the rush could get there and to the exact right person. Every. Damn. Time.

I'm not saying Ewers is going to be Brady-like of course, but there are ways around every flaw. I'm not going to sit here and say he will never be a good NFL QB simply because his pocket presence isn't good when he's in his early 20's.

 

Those of you who were Xavier Restrepo fans, he may be available in the 4th or 5th. Ran a 4.83 40 at his pro day.

He has great hands and runs great routes but 4.83 would make him the slowest WR in the league.

 

I watched most Miami games this year and he always reminded me of Hines. Not tall, but thick. Not fast, but always open somehow. And catches everything.

I'd take him on my team anyday. He's a chain mover.

 

With that slow speed I wouldn't take him until the 7th.
