He not only has to pick it up but he must perform. No more scholarships.RickRyb wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 8:23 am:The one thing I would add is ALL the QBs (and other players for that matter) are learning a new system this year. If the rookie QB is the one that picks it up the fastest then he should be starting. Of course, that is on the assumption he ALSO adjusts quickly to the NFL.

There is so much clickbait filled with simple conjecture out there it ain't even funny. I stopped clicking on it a couple of weeks ago. Right now, you and I know as much as anybody in the media as to the Raiders plans.Attyla wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:20 am:I keep hearing the hype that if Daniels is sitting there at 3 Pierce will try to convince Telesco to pull the trigger. I honestly do not buy it.

Minshew was the back-up plan if the Raiders did not get who they want in the draft.heavyD wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:06 am:That and the fact Penix would possess by far the best arm strength and deep ball of any QB on the roster. Still I get the feeling they won’t rush a drafted QB unless both Minshew and AOC falter. Clearly the Raiders braintrust thought highly enough of Minshew to hand him a pretty good contract so he’s got people in the building behind him.

I don't buy the Pats looking to trade out of that spot. Word over here (rumored) was the beginning of the fracturing of relations between BB and Kraft was over what to do at QB. Supposedly, BB wanted to trade for Murray while drafting Harrison. He did not want a pup (especially since he hated Jones). BB was obviously in a win now mode (selfish or not).Attyla wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:20 am:I keep hearing the hype that if Daniels is sitting there at 3 Pierce will try to convince Telesco to pull the trigger.

I don't buy it either. Why would they make a public announcement about it anyway?RI RAIDER wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 10:13 am:I don't buy the Pats looking to trade out of that spot.

I keep reading similar, it seems like Penix has a very high ceiling and would be a perfect pick up.heavyD wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 9:06 am:That and the fact Penix would possess by far the best arm strength and deep ball of any QB on the roster.

It is true that you can’t believe anything, but I’m having trouble figuring out how the Pats benefit by saying this.RI RAIDER wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 10:13 am:I don't buy the Pats looking to trade out of that spot.

The Washington guy on the other hand said today that he can’t really see a scenario where they trade #2.DanKD wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 11:34 am: who knows, cat, mouse and beaver

No point in over thinking his comments, the gm is signaling that a trade is in play. Maybe the Pats don't think drafting a qb is right at this time. I think I would like to see the Raiders take Penix at 13 even if JD is available at 3.Jeevo wrote Thu Apr 18, 2024 11:29 am:It is true that you can’t believe anything, but I’m having trouble figuring out how the Pats benefit by saying this.

If I’m the PATs, I’m offering 3 to the Vikings for both 1st round picks and next years. Then taking a QB at 11, be it Nix or Penix. Whoever they take at 3 if they stick will struggle massively with how the offense is looking. Taking a “lesser” QB prospect who can still be a franchise guy and then having the additional 1st round pick this year to get him a WR and the extra next year too to build around the guy.Dark Horse » Thu Apr 18, 2024 1:53 pm
