I know Herbert is your guy, and you can end up being right about him, but for me, this is a very weak QB class.
Also, the draft is loaded at D Line and it may not seem like it right now, but next year, D Line could be a very big need for us.Lawrence and Irving are free agents. Who knows what we have in Gregory. The Front Office missed on Ealy and Ward. That leaves us with an overpaid Crawford, Taco, and a bunch of unknowns.
Safety is also very weak this year. Draft an elite player, don't focus on the position (unless there's a very good QB available).They will pay Tank if theyre moving on from Dak in 2020. And Irvong will take less money because of this suspension. And we have 65 mil in cap room this year. Plus with how much dline talent there is in this draft youre better off taking the top end talent at a weaker position and taking the smaller dropoff in the second. Id rather have Herbert and One of the leftovers in the second @ DE or DT. Or take Taylor Rapp and solidify our secondary more. If we reisgn Irving and Tank, we have Collins and Gregory and Taco and Armstrong Ill feel comfortable with them being our Dline core with a safety as the pick
Herbert has am amazing skill set, one of the best I have seen in a long time. For me he is hands down the first pick overall at this point. not sure why people are under-rating him so much.
Above average:
Size
Smarts
Poise
Accuracy
Arm Strength
Leadership
Toughness
He has the whole package and QB's with that talent go first.....every time. I just hope it's not the Giants.
I don't think it's that big a deal considering the spread and shotgun sets in the nfl now.I like him a lot too. The one worry I do have with him is projecting how he”ll transition to a pro style offense, but that can be said about 98% of all college QB prospects. He has all the tools.
Where in that field of teams do we fall? Because if we are worse than the Giants I feel pretty comfortable that we are first in line for Herbert barring a trade up situation.
Unless this offense starts scoring this season will go sideways.Unless this season goes sideways, we ain’t sniffing this talent.
