adding a QB or strengthening your entire roster - it’s simply about picking a QB or a WR (or whatever one position).

Devonta Smith is good but he also carries risk and can only do so much even if he pans out.

Mel Kiper has Zack going to ATL at #4. Second QB off the Board.

When is the NFL draft again? Do we have about 894 mock drafts remaining until draft day?

There are really just two Todd Mcshay and Mel Kiper.

The Jets sticking with Darnold seems insane to me

Saleh is probably looking to beef up other positions and get a serviceable qb

Having the #2 pick in a very strong QB class I think you roll the dice on one of

I look at Cinci as that model. 1 bad hit away from catastrophe. Bolster up

LeonMarek

Not disagreeing with you - but the problem with that model is cap space

For a first time HC, I think job security is priority #1

Add pieces this year and then get a qb next year if Darnold doesn't have it

Zak

Darnold isn't bad. Gase was a really, really terrible coach.

Not to me.

We really don't know if Darnold is the problem.

Jeffacka

agreed. Put Zach in Darnold's horrible situation and you'd get similar results

He's from USC so he is. 😉

I think it is smart. Saleh would in theory, buy himself another year. He

I pretty much disagree with all of you. QBs have a bigger impact on their teams

And I agree that you have to go all in on a QB, I just think Saleh could in

I think it’s worth the risk though. Worst case scenario he turns out like Sam

Not if they trade down, and putting a rookie QB into a bad position is a waste

Cougar TD

Agree. I have always thought Darnold was overrated.

He has two WRs going in the top three, I can't believe that that will really

Great spot to sit and learn. Good offensive talent WR/TE. ATL needs RB help.

I like Zach at the Falcons better than the Jets.

they'd want him to start immediately.

He'd get to learn from Matt Ryan (almost a sure-fire, first ballot HOFer).
