The 30 visit thread

So. Much. This.


Combine is nothing more than theatre anyways. Teams and their scouting departments already have their respective opinions formed by the time these players get to the Combine. If anything, for many teams in the NFL, the whole scouting process tends to wrap up by Weeks 10-12 of the NFL Season for those time frames are where College usually begins to wrap up their own season as well. This isn't accounting for Scouting Departments not just scouting this classes but likely the next two to three classes either.


In short?! Yes, the NFL Scouting Combine is fine but it is for entertainment purposes only. A lot of the drills are severely outdated and in dire need of an overhaul; particularly the most overrated one in the 40 Yard Dash in my opinion.

 

Carson Beck would fit Mike McCarthy's West Coast Offense hand in glove. Given how rhythm and timing oriented the West Coast is, you need a QB who has both a lightning fast release, tremendous processing ability and great decision making. Beck has two of those three figured out and the decision making just needs some tuning up.


This all said, Drew Allar would still be my personal go to.

sleeper chris johnson well sort of.

 

I am just wondering if Beck's elbow will last. His arm strength weakened after the surgery.

not to worried about his speed. he produces results. hines wasn't all that fast either. that worked out pretty well i'd say.

 

Shocking as it may sound, Beck is still only 23 years old.

If Aaron Rodgers has NOT signed with the Steelers by the draft, Carson Beck may be the guy as he is the most Pro-Ready QB in the draft. Beck should be able to come in an immediately compete with Mason and Will for the starting job. That is a scarry thought, going into training camp with Mason, Will and Beck competing for the starting job.

If Aaron Rodgers does sign before the Draft, then I hope it is Drew Allar in the 3rd round. Allar will need some time on the Bench watching behind the teams starting QB.

 

I’ve been reviewing Markel Bell’s profile (https://www.nfl.com/prospects/markel-bell/32004245-4c50-6870-7576-40ee83a92982) and have some concerns regarding his draft evaluation.

Given his size and the quickness required for his position ( offesnve tackle ) , it is essential to see his agility reflected in his shuttle time and 1-on-1 pass protection matchups during college all-star practices. I noticed he opted out of the shuttle, which I consider a red flag. How did he perform in the practices? I suspect the better pass rusher will eat his lunch.

Additionally, while he has impressive height, weight, and arm length, his hands are notably small. In fact they are tiny for an OT at just 9". We will need to scrutinize his film to confirm his grip strength..

NO way do I want him in rounds 1-3. Later in the draft, in rounds 5-7 okay.

Beck makes some sense at the end of day 2 if we like him. I am not sure he has the tools to be a quality starter, but in a perfect world he could be Brock Purdy-ish. I see Beck as a long term back up. He's NFL ready, I just don't think he's NFL good.

If we draft a Day 2 QB, I would expect that it means we don't think Rodgers is coming back. We'd have Beck, Howard, and Rudolph all in competition for the starting job. A mediocre back up, a 3rd round pick rookie, and a second year player drafted Day 3 that hasn't taken an NFL snap of any kind. If we pass on QB in the draft, you can bet that we believe Rodgers is coming back.
