[Kobe1016]

This is an article from the Cowboys point of view but if you’re interested in seeing a comparison between Patrick Surtain and Jaycee Horn.

Good read. The Eagles will take whichever one the Cowboys didn't want

[Kobe1016]

I like both but if I have to pick one for the Eagles give me Patrick Surtain.

I really think both will end up being elite CB’s. Out of the two I probably still prefer Jaycee Horn but I would not be upset at all with Surtain.

So here's been my question regarding SF- they traded up to #3 and everyone assumes that is to take a QB. OK, I can see that. But they're also being tied to Mac Jones. OK, I can see that, too. What I can't wrap my head around is...if Mac Jones is their guy (sidebar being I don't know why), why trade all the way up to 3? Obviously it was possible to trade to 6 with the Eagles, since Miami did just that. Was there really a chance Jones isn't there at 6?!

They had to have heard something.

My real theory is they had a few of them rated them same and they wanted to have their pick rather than take who they could get.

Probably the NFL is just higher on Jones than the mock drafters.

They have to have gotten word that another team was trying to move into the top 5 to draft Jones (if he really is their guy). Maybe they heard New England wanted him. Of the top QB’s Mac Jones may not have the highest ceiling but he’s the most NFL ready right now. That explains why San Fran is interested. Maybe they got word that New England was trying to move into the top 5 for Jones. With all the free agent moves New England has made it would make sense that they want the most NFL ready QB too?

Yea i definitely think that’s the case. The scouts love the guy. It’s the talking heads and fans that question him.

From what I’m reading Horn fits Quinn’s system better but that doesn’t garuntee anything either . Dallas also dropped out of the bidding for Wright so maybe Parsons could be a option . Is it me or does this draft seem crazy deep ? Or is it so many QB are going early that it’s making the first round deep at other positions?

I think it is all because of the QB’s that are expected to go in the top 10. If 5 QB’s go in the top 10 then Dallas essentially has the #5 pick in the draft because QB isn’t on their draft board, at least not that high.

As for Parsons, I really don’t think he’s the guy they want. He has some off the field issues I think they want to stay away from. I do think they are looking at Jamin Davis in the 2nd round though. Or hoping that Zavin Collins makes it to the 2nd round. Collins is a beast LB but Davis is better in coverage.

2 reasons I think. The first being they likely have 4 top rated QB’s (Lawrence, Wilson, Jones, Fields). By trading to #3 they’re guaranteed one of them. One could fall out of the top 5, but that’s not a guarantee. The trade ensures they’ll get one.

Well they could have traded to #4? That leads to the second part

The other, I think SF has a 2 year window to win before they have to start really breaking the team/defense apart for financial reasons. Mac Jones is the most NFL ready QB in the draft class.

Lawrence is going #1 - everyone knows that

The Jets could be a wild card but all signs point to Wilson. And I don’t think they’re crazy enough to take Jones at #2... Leaving Wilson and Fields on the board who both have much more upside than Jones

So by getting to #3, SF is assured a top 4 QB and likely takes the most NFL ready QB in the draft

I don't even dislike Jones that much, but I still fail to see how the guy with arguably the lowest and least modern-day NFL QB skills of the top 4/5 happens to be the most NFL-ready prospect in this equation.

You don’t been to be a freak running threat to be successful in today’s NFL. You just have to be able to make all the throws from the pocket, be smart, and be a leader which Jones checks all those boxes. Brady is not a superior athlete but he’s extremely smart, a leader, and gets the ball out quick.

Yes. I think this will always be true. However most colleges just don’t develop these types of QBs anymore because it’s a different game.

It was odd that the 3 team trade was made immediately after Zach Wilson pro day.
