Crazy to think teams might already have regrets, especially with the year still not completed

Only thing crazy here is Wilson went 2 over all and 49er trading what they did to draft lance 3 over all. From day one Lawrence and fields should have been the top two qbs.

TL, Mac and Fields all had the skins on the wall in big time college programs. TL was the "full package". Mac had the insane accuracy. Fields had the insane physical traits. These three should have gone 1,2,3 in the draft in any order.

Drafting Lance that high still just blows my freaking mind. I didn't get it then. Don't get it now. Wilson I'm a little more understanding on that.

Agree with you completely on Lance. Small school and only one season? Then they traded away alot to get him. He probably would have slid out of the top 10, but if not, you can't put that much draft capital into such an unknown. I said when it happened it may be considered one of the worst tradeups of all time.

Fields was always 1B and it's obvious to anyone who was paying attention. It's hilarious that there's "oh if we could re-do the draft today he'd be the #2 pick." You mean scouts and execs outsmarted themselves, again, for the 352nd year in a row?

Fields should have always been #2.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Fields will be #1 when it’s all said and done.

This but to be fair, it's difficult for lance to be highly regarded with the amount of play he's had and wasn't expected to be all that this year. That said, on draft day, I said the #4 and 5 could turn out the top 2 in this draft as easily as any combo of the top 3. They are very hard to project and situation matters.

As much as Pace fucked up with Trubs, we need to remember that. The bigger issue was using additional capital to get Mitch since Pace himself should also understand that they are difficult to project and take what's left at 3 when the prospects are that close.

Lance may turn out but the capital given for that much unknown was whacky.

 

[mattb78]

You can't compare those two trades. 49ers gave up 2 additional first rounders, Bears gave up some mid rounders. The capital exchange isn't even close.

It is good to be on this side of things for a change lol

Always baffles me that Watson and Fields dropped. The talent evaluators are a joke. Stop overthinking this. The best part is the next class looks like shit. Good on you Denver and Carolina, etc.

With production on the field thus far, then Jones should be #1, but the reality is nothing will be completely clear until those rookie contracts are done.

Hell we are only half way through the first season and people are already making these predictions....too near sighted for me.

 

[DC]

I bet Fields will go #1 overall once he wins the Super Bowl this year. Just you watch.

We are finally on the right side of one of these.

We are finally on the right side of one of these.

And the Packers on the wrong side. Burrow, Herbert.... then Packers trade up 4 spots for Jordan Love. bhaaaaaa.....

I think the only conclusion you can reach so far is Mac Jones is totally killing it. Lawrence, Wilson and Fields have not been good, but Fields has shown some improvement in the last couple. The other guy basically hasn't really played yet.

Mac Jones would go first if there was a redraft tomorrow.

I don't think so. Scouts don't draft on production alone. Jones has the potential to be very good but he's also system dependent. Not as pliable as some of the other QBs.

Don’t t see any skid marks in here

Zero way mac jones goes over lawrence.

You could make a case that he goes 2nd in a redraft, but not every NFL team values his traits the same. He's perfect for the scheme that the pats run.

Im fairly certain you could drop him on the jets and he'd look like poopy. Very happy for the young man tho, it was literally the ideal landing spot for his career success.
