The QB class this year likely pales in comparison to next year's. Caleb Williams and Drake Maye are significantly better than any QB in this year's draft and it isn't even close.

Going to be hilarious when this class ends up having better NFL careers than the 2024 QB class.
Ya know..

People thought Watson and Mahomes were 2nd round rounders being overdrafted in comparison to the Darnold/Rosen sure fire draft.

So yea you never know.

Idk what’s the difference between Richardson and Josh Allen when he came out?

Both have cannon arms. Physical specimens, ram a pro-style offense in college. Both were inaccurate coming out.
Allen started 3 full seasons of football (Juco)

Richardson is talented, but just doesnt look like he's knows how to play throw from throw, drive to drive yet.

Get more from Indy or more from trading the pick with a team below #4?
Yes but lose Anderson unless it’s Seattle and they make a Gentleman’s agreement Seattle won’t take him.

If anything Richardson is better.

That doesn't mean every guy can be Josh Allen. But I wouldn't be so confident about being sure he will suck.

:biglaugh:

Would you like to do an avatar bet on this one? I'm willing to bet Richardson never comes close to reaching Josh Allen status.

I wouldn't bet that because I don't think it. What I said was that Richardson is probably better now than Allen was when he was drafted.

Similar mechanic and accuracy issues but AR is a better athlete and played at a much better program in a much better division.

At the same time nobody can say that "he's like Allen" about every athletic low accuracy QB coming out. Allen is probably like 1 in a 100.

Ah, thanks for the clarity. It didn't read that way :thumbup:

Obviously a lot depends on the "Player" in some of those scenarios. Both the Commanders and the Falcons have some good young talent.

Players that would intrigue me enough to move down:
Johnathan Allen - Still only 28 and a really solid D Lineman. He would be an upgrade over Zach Allen.
Chase Young- Coming back from injury, but could be the DE that we need. Was as hyped, if not more than Anderson.
AJ Terrell- would be CB #1 for us but will need big money soon.
Chris Lindstrom- I would take him in place of a mid round pick. Hes a solid guard and would be our best lineman next season.

If we got offered a player that would become part of our core....as well as staying in the top 1/2 of this years draft, and getting a 2024 first rounder from what should be a bad team....That is one of the only scenarios where I don't take Anderson.

I could easily see the Commanders drafting Richardson or Levis and being HORRIBLE next year...and I think we are about a 3-4 win team at best realistically. We could be looking at 2 top 5 picks, in a draft with at least 2 very hyped up QB prospects.

It's game experience but skill set is similar to Lamar, Hurts and Allen for sure. What I understand is that most of Richardson's accuracy issues are deemed mechanical due to his lower half.
