May 17, 20178 yr comment_165025 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000080...bs-in-next-wave Might be a tad early to write these guys off as not as good as advertised yet. But I was having a hard time understating the talk about all the potentially great QBs in the 2018 draft as opposed to this years class. I'm glad Bucky did some researching about the same questions I had. Report
May 17, 20178 yr comment_165032 I recall Hackenberger being the consensus number one overall pick the year before he was drafted but can't even get on the field on a team that has bad QB play Report
May 17, 20178 yr Author comment_165037 Darnold is the one I'd be most interested in. I haven't liked much of what I've seen out of the UCLA QB, Rosen, but he has most of the physical tools needed to be a good pocket passer. The Wyoming QB is not consistently accurate but he has a strong arm. Someone will fall in love with the "prototype" traits and take him early. Report
May 18, 20178 yr comment_165042 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000080...bs-in-next-wave There are interesting QB prospects for next year, but none are guaranteed home runs and right now they look to need time to sit/groom also.. If you continue to read his articles, I like what he wrote about FSU S Derwin James. 6'3" 211 hits like a freight train, team leader, top 5 pick, combination of Jamal Adams and Rueben Foster. Maybe we get our S in 2018 draft? Report

Regardless, I think an OT is more likely to be our 1st Rd pick next year. Report
May 18, 20178 yr comment_165053 I still think ifTrubisky had gone back to UNC he would be ranked among those guys, so we got one of those prospects a year early. Report

Regardless, I think an OT is more likely to be our 1st Rd pick next year. I'm a draft geek, searched for 2018 mock drafts the Sunday morning after the draft. I agree, I think we need a OLT and would love the kid from Notre Dame (McGlinchey) or Texas (Connor Williams). I wouldn't be surprised if we draft another edge rushers to play opposite of Floyd.
