    You obviously aren’t giving up on Allar
    Do you have Beck as your number one qb?
    Disagree
    Agree on Some of what you said about Miami
    It wasn’t all Beck
    Canes had a stifling defense
    Beck ought to be able to read defenses
    That was his 6 year in college football.
    Let’s see how the choker does in the NFL
    As far as Allar
    Strong arm
    Great physical attributes
    End
    Maybe with different coaching and some wrs he might be able to upgrade his game
    To me not a first rd pick
    Chambliss a better qb than both of these guys

    Mmhmm..


    Considering this is getting us no where, allow me to state again as to why Makai Lemon missed the cut;


    "No one is doubting Lemon's ability to get open during the route. My major worry for him is beating press consistently at the LOS. At USC that was possible given how such Corners were few and far between. In the NFL?! Not nearly as easily; doubly so with this current crop of CBs.


    Part of the issue is his lack of a varied release package to get open at the LOS. The other issue I have with him is his lack of acceleration at the LOS.


    Now K.C. Concepcion does have issues with defeating press but possess far superior acceleration with a better overall release package. He still will struggle but not nearly as much as Makai Lemon will imo."



    In short?!


    You need to be able to defeat your opponent consistently, as a WR, at the LOS for your route running and separation abilities during the play to even matter. Makai hasn't shown this ability nearly enough for me to place him in the Top Five. K.C. has and, as I said and will again, possesses superior agility ans acceleration which will allow him to be a more complete WR Day One.


    You said it yourself; Lemon is mainly a Slot Option. Slot options are plentiful in every NFL Draft. Wide Receivers who have K.C.s size but can be used both inside and out?! Those types of WRs are rare.

    Trinidad is returning to college though.


    Even if he wasn't, he would make my list. He escapes the pocket, even clean pockets, far too often and far too soon for my liking. Even worse?! Trinidad cannot see over the MOF. If anything, my pro comp for him was Kyler Murray Lite.

    Hilarious comparing him to the midget in Arizona
    He is 6 ft way too short
    Nonsense
    Chambliss will throw first before running
    Murray in college ran first
    Still runs first
    No comparison to me
    Of course I also thought Rattler would be a starter, in which he was for a short time
    Too bad he ended up with the Aints

    What do you think of Sellers from SC?
    He definitely made right choice of coming back next season
    As everyone will say
    A lot of athletic ability- I agree
    Throws a pretty deep ball
    Awful intermediate passing game
    Tends to try to do too much resulting in bad bad sacks and turnovers
    Me being a Gamecock fan I hope the young man improves this upcoming season

    Your missing the point. Neither can operate the MOF efficiently. Neither possess even good pocket presence; let alone pocket poise. Their biggest flaw though is that both are one read QBs.


    That simply isn't going to work at the NFL Level. Kyler Murray was a far superior player overall coming out of Oklahoma and he doesn't know what it means to play for the Super Bowl; much less the NFC Championship Game. Now, the Organization in the Arizona Cardinals surely don't help matters but many of the issues that Kyler had at Oklahoma got magnified at the NFL Level. He is a good starter but nothing more.


    I expect Trinidad to be the same.

    Nice work, AQL :applaud:

    I wish we could get Love but no way they can spend a first rd pick on him. C’est la vie.
