I know he has some issues, but my mind still keeps flashing Watson. He just reminds me of Dak with his character and how he speaks.
I think we need to trade down....We need to collect as many picks as possible in this draft.. This is a great draft to have a lot of picks. It's deep at RB, WR, CB, S, ILB... it's good for OL not high in the draft... Barely any 1st rd studs but there are a lot of T with 2nd and 3rd round talent that will be there all thru the 5th.
I'm anticipating that we will see a considerable uptick in interest by many fans as well as media types in mocking Mitchell Trubisky to the Jets. As you all know, Trubisky's pro day was yesterday and from all accounts he only improved his stock from the combine. He exhibited a very accurate arm, great mobility both right and left, and acceptable arm strength. We also see that Jets have arranged for a private visit, so the mock drafts may tilt Trubisky towards the top 10 if he wasn't there already and possibly to the QB needy NYJs. Curious what everyone's thoughts are.
Everything I've heard is that he isn't ready to start. He's at least 1 year away. Our qb bench would be a cluster fuck.

I think you're right about Trubisky moving up the boards. If he's there at #6 and Mac feels he's the real deal, then I'm happy for him to select him. Given the QB needy Browns and Niners are up before us, there's also a good chance one of them take him. OR, if he's there at #6 and the Browns are in love with him, Mac could get a nice haul from them given all of their picks (2 #1's, 2 2's and 2 4's this year). I would take their 1, 2 and 4th round picks and give them Trubisky.
Perfect scenario.

so, what do you think GMF?
Trubisky didn't WOW he had a solid outing... Put it this way the wind gust at the pro day didn't do him any favors...
Two players that boosted their stock are Naz Jones and Ryan Switzer... Even Jonathan Howard aka Bug boosted his stock, could now even be a draftee was projected draft free agent...
Thanks.
Living in Raleigh I've gotten to see some of Mitch this year. My interest was I have a friend who's briefly played in the NFL and has a son who currently plays on the team. He was at the pro-day yesterday and thought Mitch performed as expected - very accurate, good arm, throws a good deep ball and good wheels. One of the interesting comments he said he got from talking to some of the team scouts was that Mitch reminds them of Andrew Luck. That's pretty high praise. They also said he definitely needs time to mature but has all the tools.
My one burr under the saddle is I have no idea why Hackenberg did not see the field last year. Was it because they just wanted to slowly groom him and think highly of him or he just was terrible in practice. If it's the former than we should trade down the pick and see what Hack's got this year. If it's the later I would have no problem taking Trubisky at 6.

The thing that's scary is that I don't think the team worked on Hack's mechanics last year. They were waiting for the offseason to come. Not sure if that was a good idea. If i was them, i would have had a coach just for Hack training him on his own each and every day.
They said they didn't physically work with him doesn't mean he didn't progress in the class room... Breaking down film learning defenses and understanding assignments all gives any young quarterback a foundation to work with... He has the footwork or at least it is good enough where they can focus on other things... His throwing mechanics was always on the better half of the scale... He is capable of throwing the entire route tree with touch and/or zip... He has the mobility to move the pocket while buying time for his receivers to get open... Give him all the support he could take the job this off season...
Wishful thinking but you know what would be great? We trade #6 and our 2018 fourth for clevelands #12, and #33. At the same time we flip Sheldon and our own 2nd to the cowboys for their 1st (#28) and 2nd. This would give us 4 picks in the top 60:
1st: #12,#28
2nd: #33, #60
Picks: #12: Dalvin Cook,RB #28: David Njoku, TE
#33: TJ Watt, LB #60: Tredaius White, CB
now THAT would be one hell of a haul

Or they're putting out feelers. gauging, seeing if they can spook a team into trading ahead of them to take a QB.
Then their real target can fall into their lap.
This time of year everything is a smokescreen, sell job. IMO.
Why can't he do both? They wasted a year, that's valuable time. His footwork is not good. He's a statue back there, doesn't move around the pocket. He's stiff and he's even worse when under pressure. They should have fixed his mechanics while he picked up the game as the season progressed. When you draft someone in the second round you expect them to be somewhat competent that they can pick up the game fairly quickly.
Hack's best attribute is his arm.
