I imagine he's gonna test out really well.
 
 
I can see the hype keeping him in the first. I wouldn't do it, but someone will.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Pumphrey has the potential to be a hell of a third down back, but I don't know if I'd draft him with the expectation that he could be much more than that.  Certainly not in the long term.  He's coming into the league with 1100+ touches.

 

[Teagz]

You would definitely have to find the right role for him. I don't want to be lazy and just compare him to Sproles, but if he were given a similar limited role I think he'd be effective.

 

[Teagz]

Not seeing the hype with Trubisky. I think he'll be a fine backup/spot starter but he's not a franchise QB. His style of play is like a more mobile AJ McCarron.

 

[Hurricane Season]

I haven't really watched any of the qbs, but I don't think any of them are franchise guys.

 

[Teagz]

Kizer has potential, he's got some wow throws on tape, but he has some flaws that worry me.

 

[elcheato]

He's from the great city of Toledo, but unfortunately he decided not to help make Toledo great again. That's a character flaw.

 

[Teagz]

That bowl game just made Trubisky some cash.
 
 
A lot of people talk about bowl games being meaningless, but bowl performance usually has an impact on your stock and where you get drafted, especially if you're a QB. It happened for Goff and Lynch last year. Lynch lost momentum for a bad game against an SEC defense and everybody hopped on the Goff train after he lit up Air Force.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Word, Trubisky can make some pretty fucking throws.

OSU had 2 DBs go in the first two rounds last year, and they're about to have 3 more taken this year, maybe all in round 1

Lattimore is the best corner in this draft.

Quincy Wilson is terribly overrated.

SI Top 50 Big Board?

 

[Teagz]

If you wanna run it I say go for it.

 

[Dannyboy77]

My Bears just need another good draft. Glad we have good picks. I say we go defense with the first pick then draft a qb later. There are no clear cut franchise qb's. However there are several guys who can develop into solid starters someday.
 
If players from our last 2 drafts progress and Pace nails this one we will be a solid team next year. Of course a successful free agency as well (we can be in a position to have lots of space). Injuries have KILLED us the past 2 years along with having a cancer at QB. Things are looking up.

 

[elijah]

i don't understand the hype that cunningham finds himself getting, very very overrated.

This Pat Mahomes hype is hilarious. If this guy actually end up going in the first round.. SMH. He's another Bortles. He just isn't an NFL QB.

Teets?!?!

his throwing motion is horrid. his pocket presence is non-existent. 
 
his arm is beautiful though, strong arm and pretty accurate short. 
 
i don't see him doing anything special.

Exactly. He does have a nice arm, but most of his nice plays are are in scramble mode/unstructured. From the pocket he misses too much and holds the ball way too long. Like you said his delivery is awful, and his feet seems to have a life of their own; footwork is a mess.
 
As far as a developmental project from this class, I'd much prefer Jerod Evans. In the third or later though.
 
 

Teets?!?!

Draft season (almost) has me coming back lol
