I'm worried about the zip on his throws. I haven't seen any analysis of his velocity. Release seems quick...

Hanging a ball up there a tad too long is going to lead to INTs. I don't think he's like a Brock Osweiler with slow-as-molasses release and loopy passes, but arm strength factors into almost all the top end qbs in the league.

One of the criticisms of his is that his talented receiver core leads to him throwing to wide open players, competing against overmatched backfields.

I guarantee Shanny doesn't gaf about this, he schemes a ton of our players wide open, he just wants someone who can identify and hit the target every time.

Maybe Jones does make sense.

You listen to the presser? Sounds to me like he does value arm talent and athletic ability without question.

boy if you get a min just watch Jones' pro day then put on Lance's pro day...the arm talent isn't in the same planet.

I'm not pro-Jones, I'm just making sense of everything in my own head.

Absolutely listened to the presser. I'm trying to take everything said with a grain of salt and look at past examples for confirmation, instead.

Mullens has a slug for an arm, and he started for us. I think Jones has a better arm and vastly more football IQ, and I'm not saying we moved up to 3 to draft another Mullens, either. But I think there are things Shanny will overlook due to confidence in his game plan.

If Shanahan's aspirations are just to get a better version of Mullens, then he really needs to be more ambitious about the QB position. Especially if we're going to spend 3 first round picks.

It's not even clear if Jones is better than Mullens. I've tried to give Jones the benefit of the doubt, but I can't see the appeal relative to Fields or Lance.

Watching this pro day for Jones. Am I the only one very underwhelmed by him? He's really not accurate at all on these. Not a great look for Kyle and Lynch to both be there watching and this is what he turns in.

You think it's Lance?

If you get a chance listen to that full press conference yesterday...nothing from that presser screamer Mac Jones at all.

Feels more like Fields then anyone imo. Lance runs a ton of the same stuff though.

I do feel more confident that it's not Jones though.

LOL. I did.

Just curious, how are you drawing that conclusion and from a presser?

I saw that presser and makes me think Mac is the pick. When asked about Mac, Kyle shuffled his chair almost like a bad poker face.

I'm all about reading the tea leaves too. I still don't know either. One could focus on body language and when asked why ShanaLynch are going to Mac Jones' pro day, he pivoted to not having to hide as much anymore at 3. Naturally, these are all calculated answers and of course, they'll do their due diligence as they still have a month to change their mind.

If I recall correctly , They didn't go to Bosa pro day , but went to Williams pro day and took him out for dinner .

Right. Exactly why you can't read too much into this even though there isn't anything to cover up or hide now at 3.

I will say, as evaluating a QB and making a career and franchise altering move during COVID where exposure is limited, meeting face to face is something.

But Kyle's usually all about the film anyway.

Yeah, maybe Mac is feeling a little bit more pressure than last week now that more big names are there. Some of those deep balls weren't as accurate.

Not accurate deep. Which is what I see on tape actually. He was accurate as hell deep when his receivers were covered. But underthrew alot when they were wide open.

So throwing to really good receivers might have actually helped Mac?
Then he drops this

I'm curious NC, out of Fields/Lance/Jones which is your preferred pick?

Each day I've guesstimated each one. I've bowed out on emotion on this one and I'm just going to trust Kyle on this one. No conviction. I fully get the stance on each as I've gone through it too.

Just watch for smoke and read the tea leaves and enjoy the mental gymnastics, emotions and meltdowns no matter who it is.

Who you got? Prefer?
This dude is laughing and smiling as he throws wounded ducks. Gotta love the confidence lol 😂.
He's made a lot of nice throws on the run.

Pressure now? No pass rush, no noise, no pads. If he's feeling pressure today, he ain't ready for Sundays. Waddle and Smirh won't be there to overwhelm subpar secondaries.
