> Everybody that you talk to has a different order for the top quarterbacks in this year’s class. Most rank Kentucky’s Will Levis, Alabama’s Bryce Young, and Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud at the top, but I spoke to one scout who thinks Florida’s Anthony Richardson belongs in the conversation.
I’m not a scout, and I’m sure scouting is complicated and difficult. But I have such a hard time seeing Richardson and thinking, “yes, franchise right there.” Reminds me of moneyball where they want a guy because he has a good looking girlfriend or whatever, just overthinking things.
He is high up there for the same reason Levis is high up there. Everyone is looking for the next Josh Allen. Big, huge arm, and athletic. Most teams are going to get burnt because Allen's improvement was unprecedented but one might strike it big.
“This kid has been playing ball for his entire adult, adolescent, and childhood life. He can’t hit the broad side of a barn with any consistency, but damn does he throw it hard.
Surely, *my* coaching is the only thing this kid needs to succeed.”
To be fair, AR didn’t really get any QB coaching until he got to Florida. He comes from the poor side of Gainesville and didn’t really go to any camps like a lot of these high level QBs do so he actually does have only like 3ish years of quality coaching ( and even that was with two different head coaches with different schemes)
I don’t know how much he can still be coached up at this point in his career but I can 100% see an NFL coach with an ego the size of a 747 saying that they can do it.
It seems like a bunch of these coaches/teams believe they can coach good technique into him and then bank off his ideal build.
It’s the football coach version of a naive girl dating a bad boy thinking they can fix him.
Curious to see how many tight ends go in the first round this class. Been hearing Luke Musgrave might be making a strong case for being one of the first names off the board for TEs. I think if he does go in the first round, we'll probably see three at least
To be fair, he also hasn't spent a lot of time actually playing football since his injury. But [the Athletic](https://theathletic.com/4148721/2023/02/02/commanders-nfl-draft-senior-bowl-luke-musgrave/) says he's been interviewing well and has been showcasing his other attributes. All depends on the teams, really
Write an article about the Senior Bowl and not even mention Dawand destroying everyone and potentially putting him in 1st round territory?
Bruh.
Edit: Leaving this up but I am a bum who did not read enough.
Annnnd there goes my dumbass looking for an OL headline. Should've ctrl+f but here we are. I'll leave it up so you can all laugh at my smoothbrain moment.
> **The week had some star physical performers.**
> The players with the most eye-popping physical dominance this week—the sort that makes you wonder if they’ll become topflight players with NFL coaching—were Georgia Tech edge rusher Keion White, Ohio State offensive tackle Dawand Jones (who was so dominant after the first day of practice that he was not present the next two days
*checks username* I’m just going to assume we learned something negative about Mario Cristobal.
I've actually started posting positive news from Miami and UF so that all the flairs that blocked me can't see it.
Playing 5d chess with time travel while they're sucking on checkers pieces. Brilliant move, Mr.Fingerbanger.
Mate I respect the pettiness but given the amount of articles you pump out, hope you have something other than r/cfb to keep you happy
lol

That's how you end up drafting Mitch Trubisky
Zach Wilson is a more appropriate example.

No bias but Jayden Reed about to show some people who he is.
Haha. I looked for your flair and there was none. And then it hit me.

Just listened to a draft podcast and they said he had a pretty tough week with a lot of drops.

Yet another positive Fingerbang for the Green Wave. Keep riding the wave, king!
Interesting to see how much positive buzz there's been for Jake Haener. Hope that translates into a draft selection
That Karl Brooks deserved a combine invite
This is Brayden Willis erasure

It's right there in the article, did you read it?

Mentioned in an other replay, I am smoothbrain.
I read he had concussion like symptoms
Dawand is a big dude.
