If the Bengals pass on him at 1, or whoever it is, they are gonna regret it for a long time.
Easily my favorite QB to come out since Luck. Obviously Watson and Mahomes have turned out better than expected. Burrow is someone I think can make a difference day 1 wherever he is at
Hypothetical here, say the Bengals do pass on him. Do the Giants take him at 2 with drafting Jones last year? If the Lions were to be sitting at 3 and he is on the board, even with all the needs, the lions would have to draft him. Let him sit and learn for a year and would allow the team to move on from Stafford after the 2020 season if they chose
IMO Josh Rosen has “the tools” but in many ways will never be a franchise QB in the NFL. While what the Cardinals did was virtually unprecedented, I can see why they did it. The pick was every bit of a bust as I thought it would be. Daniel Jones is different. He’s shown so many signs of life. He’s turning the ball over at a high rate, and he doesn’t have a defense to support him. Outside of the turnover errors that are correctable, there’s a lot to love about Jones that Rosen doesn’t have. All of that is a long winded way of saying…there is absolutely no way I could see them going QB again. The kid has shown enough to prove he was worth a 1st round pick, and worth giving a few years to see him develop.
So, to my question, would you take him at 3, if the lions are at 3 and Joe is on the board? I know I would be interested. He could develop for a year behind Matt and we could move on in 2021
Sure. Because Harrington’s completion % in college was 55.2 and Herbert’s was 64.1%. They aren’t even remotely similar in their arm strength, style, etc.
I’m not saying Herbert is going to be a star but he certainly has the skill set to succeed.
The only way he would be taken is as a trading piece, but the Lions are not in that position. There are some very nice talents on the DL that fit what the Lions needs. Burrow may be a special player but you don’t take a “might be” when you already have an “is” a special player!
