From the Athletic writeup on Milton: A strong, mobile athlete, Milton has an absolute hose for an arm (in the mix for the strongest I have ever evaluated) and will make throws every game that gives evaluators hope. However, the lack of consistency with his decision-making and ball placement remains a pinnacle concern. Overall, Milton has the physical tools that scream first-round pick, but his passing instincts and ability to read the field are undeveloped. He is a project quarterback prospect,and some teams believe he will eventually transition to tight end in the NFL (similar path as Logan Thomas). That's an interesting 6th round pick. It is but TE was a big need and McLaughlin could be a stud. Basketball player convert and keeps getting better. Great athlete. 6th round was a steal for him. Obviously, he could suck but I’d rather the lottery ticket.

I guess Brugler thinks Milton could try TE if QB doesn't work out. He better be great at TE because they passed on the next Gronk

Other players I like Caelen Carson CB, DJ James CB, Cedric Johnson DE, Gabriel Murphy DE. Then RBs Isaiah Davis, Kimani Vidal and Carson Steele. I also really like Isaiah Williams WR. So we know they won't take any of these players lol. Add in DT run stuffers Khristian Boyd and Fabien Lovett. Tanner McLaughlan

At the end of the day, all that matters is if these guys can play. It’s interesting that the last 2 guys they picked were overshadowed by guys on their team that were top picks at their positions.
If Polk is a better Jacobi Meyers, that’s a home run pick at that spot. Is it the true number 1 guy we need? No but you pair that with Douglas in the slot and they are the complimentary weapons a true number 1 needs.
This offensive line needs help in every spot except the one Onwenu is playing. Center is locked down but we can all see the longer term need there. I’m pretty confident in Sow at RG but it’s not a sure thing yet. Strange and the other spot need up grades. Maybe it comes from Strange and others on the team but last year wasn’t good enough. Wallace seems to give options. If he’s a good player he will help. Can he move to LT? Being blocked by the number 2 LT in college football is a pretty good reason why he’d be playing RT.

Give me Jaylen Wright next pick He’s still there, I know we have Gibson but there is nothing much in our RB room after Stephenson and Gibson. This guy is explosive and can play all 3 downs. Good blocker too.

What are these "tons of needs" beyond a top QB, OL & WR help (which they have hopefully addressed)? Not in order but: RB TE DE DT LB CB FS There’s not one position on the field you can look at and say that spot is all set and secure and you don’t need anyone there other than strong safety. Edge we have Judon (who’s old) but we still need a stud opposite him and for the rotation to replace him. Jennings Uche and White do make this lower priority but upgrades are still necessary to be a top squad, maybe it comes from one or 2 of those guys. DT they have Barmore but they don’t have the bigger bodied person Godchaux needs an upgrade for both production and youth. ILB - Bentley and Tavai have played well but they are hardly studs. CB - Gonzalez seems like a stud so let’s just assume their CB1 is locked down. Your depth chart is then Jones, Jones and Wade. They need more. FS - we don’t have one Contention isn’t happening next year this roster has a lot of upgrading needed all over.

Jump ball winner and can’t get separation is the last thing we need at receiver.

A lot of defensive players fell. I know it’s not the biggest need but this team needs high end players, if that guy is on that side of the ball then take him. Don’t force a need.

I would been ok with any of the top 5 picks...except for Daniels. Me too which means he’s going to be a HOFer

I was quibbling (as stated) with going from All-time great down to very good. I agree the other 2 are all-time greats and think Kelly was certainly below them. I think we agree where they stand, i just thought the initial wording of just very good was a light. Rivers was great Eli was inconsistent but could step up and play top notch football. He’ll easily make the HOF because of his 2 great runs but overall his career is underwhelming in my opinion. Matt Ryan I struggle to label With my system I say Rivers and Ryan were very good and Manning was good, heck maybe a level below. Manning without SB just wasn't anything special. Great for me is either all-time greats or best of your generation. Those guys played with Payton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. I’d probably make categories like this if I were thinking about it (as he types this with little thought): All-time great Great Excellent Very good Good Solid I’d likely slot Rivers in the excellent category under great. And I’d probably put Kelly in the same excellent category. Brady and Manning All-time greats Brees and Rothlesberger Greats Rivers excellent Eli Manning falls in very good but most of his career he played as simply a good QB but he had a couple runs of greatness.

I agree he’s a step below Marino and Elway who are both top 10 QBs (being conservative) all-time, but very good (and I’m quibbling) is too low. He was excellent. I don’t even know how to compare QB stats across eras anymore, but when he retired he was top 10 in most QB stats. You just don't like me wording of the tier below Great. I think there's few truly great QBs and a bunch of very good ones. Bledsoe was in the top 10 of a lot of stats when he retired. It doesn't help that Kelly went to UCF for two years instead of NFL and had a rather short career. Also I can't give him credit for being a winner, when he was outplayed in four straight superbowls and never had a good game. He's a huge reason they never won one. That's just my criteria and everyone has different sets. LIke what's your thoughts on Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Eli Manning?

Yeah, looking at it again, Jrue kind of pushes him toward Tatum. It looked worse than it was. That push by Jrue was so light - Caleb had plenty of time to stop himself before undercutting Tatum. I agree he was being reckless… listening to Scal tho I’m starting to change my mind

Miami balled like their lives depended on it in the 4th, I don’t think anything of it. Caleb Martin tackling Tatum was classless. I’d call it reckless; I don’t think it was dirty (which I put intent to)

That’s a big disrespectful to Jim Kelly. He’s better than very good. He was a great QB. I think he's a level below the greats like Dan Marino and John Elways of his time. Heck his HOF level is about half of the average HOF QB. I agree he’s a step below Marino and Elway who are both top 10 QBs (being conservative) all-time, but very good (and I’m quibbling) is too low. He was excellent. I don’t even know how to compare QB stats across eras anymore, but when he retired he was top 10 in most QB stats.

Am I remembering correctly. Didn’t people question Anthony Edwards competitiveness and desire to be great heading into the draft?

Well it all depends where the QBs get drafted, bar for top 3 pick is much higher than pick 10-15 and the bar at 16-32 is even lower. Best QB draft of all-time is 1983, two all-time greats in Marino/Elway, a very good Jim Kelly, a very solid Ken O'Brien and an okay Tony Eason all taken in first. 2020 first 5 QBs taken are all good to better QBs, long way to go, but that has a chance to be the best draft class ever. Maybe they don't reach the heights of two all-time greats, but you could have 5 QBs with AAV of over 100 for their careers. Never been done before and zero busts for 5 straight picks. Even that 1983 class has #2 QB pick, 7th overall busting completely in Todd Blackledy. Then Eason and O'Brien going before Marino. Take that 2020 class, it's crazy good for it's depth of starting level QBs, how does it turn out? How many great QBs, how many very good and how many just good ones? So if you look at the last 40 years of QB classes how to you rank this one? What type of QB are you chasing? How many will be great, very good, good, solid or so-so? That’s a big disrespectful to Jim Kelly. He’s better than very good. He was a great QB.

Butler with a potential MCL sprain. Not sure they beat the Bulls without Butler, and I know for a fact they don't beat the Celtics without Butler. Rosier out too

Lifetime ban for gambling for Jontay Porter Probably helps him so now he is forced to go overseas and he’ll make more money versus never making the NBa anyways

Probably because in the playoffs there is no playing with second string guys and he may still be dealing with a little something from his earlier injuries and considering Horford and Porzingis age/injuries he’s pretty valuable. Then why is he playing at all? It’s a valid question, my answer was off the top of my head so the second part may be a bit off. Maybe they didn’t want him going all Payton Pritchard the last game of the season and raising the competition to resign him lol
