We drafted CJ beathard and then let him walk in free agency, which he signed with the jags. That gave us a 2022 comp pick in the 7th round pick 262.
the gm that signed CJ beathard was Trent baalke. So us firing baalke back then, drafting Beahard in 2017 - was the long term play kyle and John were working to eventually get their franchise QB in Brock Purdy 😎
Build a statue for CJ Beathard next to the Purdy statue.
At least send him a super bowl ring when we get one. Lol it's the least we can do.
im such a nerd about this kind of stuff. I just love all the little things that happen, and seem irrelevant, but end up being tied to something big by chance. It's just such a cool and unlikely story but it makes me glad we drafted Beathard in the third that year. Lol
