NFL Draft

i follow the nfl so little as to not know or recall that rg3 suffered an injury.

RGIII could have been a fantastic QB in the NFL. His deep ball accuracy was as good as anyone in the league. The coaches totally misused him by running him too much for someone that was just too thin. He should have just been told to stay in the pocket and if the pocket breaks down, either throw it away or just eat it and live to play another series. But he scrambled and got hurt badly then never came back the same. He had great arm talent, and he could move with his feet. You just can't run a QB in the NFL that much, especially someone that thin and risk of injury.

TB,. I do not remember the exact injury he had at Baylor, but I think it was right knee ACL.

Yep you are correct and it was a bad ACL injury. He was never the same after he came back.

I wouldn't read too much into it. If you knew some of the people in the draft room on these NFL teams, you would scratch your head and wonder how these people ever got to where they are today. Several stat companies based on various ratings systems say that more than 50% of first round draft picks are busts. One stat company ran an 8 year study of first round draft picks from 2010 through 2017 and found that only 31% of the teams that drafted first round picks re-signed them to the same original team for their second contract. That's not a good success rate for such a high cost investment.

Then on the flip side, someone like Cooper Beebe is a no brainer pick up that is a core long term player for any NFL team. He's a guaranteed starter and core player on the OL. Its just not a flashy pick. The fact that there were only a few 1st round B12 players drafted doesn't mean much in my eyes.

I can give you this from my opinion, there would have been no way in hell that I would have drafted Caleb Williams as a QB, in any round. Are there any betting odds on him being a bust because I want some of the action.

i don't follow the nfl all that much. but this was a really interesting take, tbonespop, particularly the low success ratio of first rounders. i should not be surprised because i thought baylor's robert griffin would be a surefire success in the nfl, he fizzled quickly.

i'm confident sinnott will be successful because he's so athletic. beebe has that nasty about him making up for the frumpy body. too bad they both didn't go to the boys with deuce.

the chiefs taking worthy should not surprise either. you can't teach speed. and andy knows how to use it.

Here's a perfect example:

Trevor Lawrence - 1st pick overall, first round. 50 games played, 50 games started. 58 career TDs, 39 career INTs, QB rating - 85
Garnder Minshew - 6the round pick, #178 overall, 49 games played, 37 games started, 59 TDs, 24 INTs, QB rating - 90.2

There's countless examples like this out there.
