The chances of landing franchise impacting talent is low but getting even good contributors on special teams is minimal. That is what separates mediocre franchises from good and good from great. Developing the talent you draft.Comment

Realistically though, unless the board falls great, I cannot see us going with a QB until around the last pick or so.Comment

IMO, it would be "smarter" to draft guys that could actually be used this year. If you want a QB, why not follow Payton's model of a "Swiss Army knife" guy like Taysom Hill? There are several guys that would fit this mold. Don't waste time with a mediocre backup quality QB, find someone that could come in for gadget plays this year and make a difference.

Just think of what Sean Payton could have dreamed up for Tebow in his prime. It would have been much more fun to watch him have a Taysom Hill trajectory and at least stick to a roster. -
Tebow is available. I think Tebow would have stuck around on practice squads and as a 3rd string QB for awhile in the NFL but it was the press attention that killed it for him. Teams just didn't want to have to answer multiple questions about a 3rd string QB or practice squad player at every single press conference. The distraction was immense.

i doubt anyone they draft outside of a rb is going to do much this season. this draft is going to be boring unless they deal for picks.
i could be wrong mathis, dulcich and henningsen played last year but i think paton was forcing his picks on the field.Last edited by Yerner; 03-22-2023, 11:24 AM.Comment

He didn't need to force them onto the field, the players in front of them got hurt or sucked. -
Also, just because I find it interesting how trades come back around. We selected Henningsen with the 6th round pick we acquired from the Eagles for Cary Vincent Jr.
So we traded Cary Vincent Jr for Matt Henningsen.

None of them would immediately be better options than Webb, who started and won a game two months ago. I’m not talking about development, I’m talking about a disaster scenario where someone needs to play this year.Comment

Also, Davis Webb was not a very good NFL QB.Comment

We literally just watched Shanahan coach up Purdy to multiple wins. There is no such thing as a QB can't immediately help in the right situation. Zappe was going around and helping the Pats. Skyler Thompson won a game to clinch a playoff berth for the Dolphins. If you like a QB, you take him and let the fans be pissed off.
Also, Davis Webb was not a very good NFL QB.
Next time I’ll just leave it alone because everything is serious with you👍 2Comment

I want our Center with one of the two 3rds, and either a CB or front 5 with the other.
After that I really don't care, but I REALLY want George & Payton to take a flyer on Stetson "Mailman" Bennet. That's the only QB I care about in this draft, because face it, we aren't drafting one with our day 2 picks, nor should we, but he'll be available in the 3rd day. I have no idea what Payton thinks about him, but I would guess they are looking at his tape.
I bet the 49ers are looking at his tape, and for good reason. Great story. You can say he had a lot of talent around him just like Mac Jones, or is too short, or whatever, but the kid has heart, fought for everything he has, and is a total winner. I want him.👍 1Comment
