"McCarthys skill set has had NFL evaluators on alert for 3 years."
Reasonable to think they have been tracking the other QBs for this long or longer as well.
Kwesi has said they have been looking at this draft class for several seasons now.
All of the teams do.
So where he was touted by Media and so on prior to last season is not the same as teams valuation of these players.
I have seen some research that does show weight as one of the metrics that has some correlation to RB performance. The other metrics that mattered were 40 time and 3 cone drill. RB don't seem to do the 3 cone drill anymore. So while the study I am referring to found that to have some connection...
Hmm. I admit I don't really watch much TV or read articles about Jefferson not being at camp. So perhaps I've missed it.
I listen to Matthew Collier fairly often who is a native of Buffalo who has covered the Vikings awhile now. He hasn't mentioned it.
In my opinion the Vikings are not trading...
They would likely be late picks in 25.
I did a search and I am not finding anything specific about the Bills.
Curious to hear what Karl is taking about though.
From the Vikings perspective this seems correct to me that the Patriots are asking the moon for that pick.
Vikings GM in recent press conference said they are in love with a lot of the QBs in this draft. Then he qualifies that saying they like some of the QBs at a price point that would not...
Right.
Well the quality of the WR as well as scheme will have an effect on which types of routes are more successful than others being charted here.
Maybe for 2 or 3 games of charting a certain WR was out during those games and he is the only guy good at corner routes on their roster. Maybe...
It says on the chart that it is 2024 which I guess refers to the 2023 season. Maybe this means something else?
Anyhow sometimes these people only chart 3 or 5 games. I don't know how many have been charted here.
But small sample size could explain part of that.
According to that chart these are 2024 throws.
Why not chart all of his throws or at least more than 2024 before coming to such conclusions?
If he has that is not reflected in the chart.
It seems a bit strange to me that he would be green on post routes but red on corner routes for example...
I am not sure who this reminds me of.
It's a nice plant and cut. I feel like he hesitates after his plant step too long and while this works I wonder how well it will work at the pro level.
It certainly doesn't remind me of Barry Sanders.
I think its very possible the asking price to move up into the top 5 is too high and teams with those picks do just take the player they believe in.
Other teams besides the Vikings will try to move up but in a bidding war the Vikings can likely win most offers with their 2 first round picks in...
