"I know what you’re going through. I too once fell under the spell of opium. It was 1979. I was travelling the Yangtzee in search of a Mongolian horsehair vest. I had got to the market after sundown, all of the clothing traders had gone, but a different sort of trader still lurked about. 'Just a taste,' he said. That was all it took!"

Colbert likes someone. That is literally the entire substance of the thread.
Colbert attended a pro day is actually more factual.
How you make the jump to a QB is beyond me. I like Myles Garrett for the Steelers - that means we'll be drafting him, right coach...?

I've said this for the last 2 years. If the right guy falls in your lap, you have to take him. QBS can be a yen year player. There is value at edge rush/corner in round 2-4. Regardless of his statements at the end of the season it is simply is math. He will probably not play out the contract. That said they draft real late and it better be the right guy. I'd rather stink for a year or two with a journeyman to get the right guy.

How many pro days does Colbert attend? I'm thinking less than 20 and outside of Turbisky are any of them 1st or 2nd day picks?

Garrett will not be on the board but the QB might be. I take it you understand the difference.
Ben might leave soon. As Chuck Noll put it, the second you talk about retirement, you are retired. You guys must have 100% confidence in Landry Jones!

From all the Mocks I have seen the latest the NC QB lasts is the Browns pick at #12 and the Steelers pick at #30.
The more interesting QB scenario would be if Watson was still available at #30, would Steelers draft him to be
Slash #2 for a couple years and then have a QB for after Ben.

Kizer at 30 could be a bargain... don't think the others make it that low... but maybe better a dark horse now that can sit behind Ben, learn the offense before being thrown to the wolves, and maybe push ben a little rather than draft another ziggy hood. There are like a couple edge guys, a couple db's maybe a curtain te, that if they don't fall to us kizer could be in play.
I wish you understood the difference between Colbert attending a pro day and writing a headline based on that saying that Colbert wants to draft the QB at said pro day (who also won't be there when we draft).
My statement was trying to be as non-sensible as yours. I obviously didn't get close enough for you to understand.
Watson will be gone in the top ten.
Ive never seen him play. Based on their offense and his stats, he kinda screams Landry Jones to me. Is he really franchise QB material?
Colbert attending UH's pro day last year....that must be why they selected ayers in the 7th......

In other news Colbert was hungry for some Carolina bbq, so he stopped by a pro day so it wouldn't look like he was sleeping on the job.
Have to do the research on a lot of prospects when you're just going to draft the BPA in your eyes, non story... May have thought the biscuit looked a bit brittle and crackery, who the hell knows.
I went to work today too!

Let's get this thread going in the right direction and talk UH players more!!!
The *** hat draft guru with the hair has us taking Bowser now, so yeah...he effed that up for us.
and the Steelers had a formal interview with UH QB turned WR, Greg Ward Jr, at the combine....obviously this means they want him to be the new Slash
Heard we had some people at Michigan's pro day, guess they are looking to replace Tomlin . . .

The Steelers passed on Marino and all of the QBs in 82 because they thought Bradshaw still had several years left. Then his arm went south and the steelers were forced to draft a QB so they took Mark Malone in the 1st round and that didn't work out so well.
If Ben's retirement talk is real and he's only going to play a couple more years, and the steelers see a QB ar their pick that they believe could be a franchise QB, then they have to draft him no matter what.
Another thing to consider is that when Ben was drafted, it was rare that rookie QBs started in the NFL.
About 10 years ago, you could start lots of college QBs immediately because colleges were throwing more and using pro style schemes. QBs were much better prepared than they had been in the past.
College football has changed. All these spread offenses took over and now the QBs throw a ton but they are all pre determined throws. They aren't reading defenses and have to be taught everything.
Basically it's like it was 20 years ago when most QBs sat for a year or more and learned before their first starts. This year you had Goff, Wentz and Prescott starting. Goff played in a spread at Cal and he looked lost in the NFL. Wentz played in a pro style and he did OK. Prescott played in a spread but his rookie success was mostly due to the Cowboy OL and run game being so good. He didn;t have to do much and when he had to make plays passing in the playoffs, he came up short.
That is all to say that you better draft a QB a few years before you need him

I'm not going to start a whole new thread for this so I'm putting it here.
Cleveland.com is reporting the Browns may like Mahomes the best of any of the quarterbacks in this draft and are debating how to use pick #12 and pick #33 to get him. As many here know from my draft analysis to date, I hate Mahomes. I think he is awful fundamentally. Let's just say I would be ecstatic if the Browns went all-in on Mahomes for the next 2-3 years. Just like last year when I said only the Browns could **** up not getting Wentz with pick #2, now they might go all-in on a quarterback I think is terrible.
Only in Cleveland. The house of sadness really does exist I think.

My bad then, it's just that my brain hurts every year around this time when I occasionally see our fellow Steelers brethren pine for whatever marginally talented Pitt players are out there. I just really don't like the idea of adding a QB this year unless the team believes he can some day be Ben's successor, and I do NOT see what scouts and others are seeing in Peterman in terms of NFL potential. I just don't want any part of a pick like that. Like you I think next year is the time for a QB

Mahomes appears to be tghe best arm talent and in this draft of project QBs, that could be all it takes to make him the #1 QB. I read Houston likes him too.
I really hope the Browns go all in on a QB this year. It would be classic Browns. They traded away a shot at Wentz, then they take a QB in a weak draft. And next year may be a strong QB draft. Sam Darnold of USC will likely be the #1 overall pick.
If the browns keep up with the baseball strategies, i could see them drafting 2 or 3 QBs with all their picks this year. Why not? Keep the best one along with Kessler from last year then stash the others on practice squad.
