2020 QB class

GoBlue6599 : 1/17/2019 9:38 am
What am I missing?
Tua looks great but he is already dealing with injuries in college. If you wannna knock Haskins for playing on a great team then why not Tua who plays for Alabama for crying out loud.. Fromm from UGA is no where near as talented as Murray or Haskins not even close, he also has plays for a loaded Georgia team. I didnt see Fromm toss 50 tds like Haskins. Fromm imo is a backup in the NFL thats his talent level. The Oregon kid.. I wouldnt want the Giants to take him even if he came out.. He has talent and a skill set but if you watched the Ducks you would know that he went through long stretches of inept play.. he is all about projections because he never played like a 1st Round pick IMO
With OBJ and Saquon on this team who knows where the Giants will be picking in 2020.. Should the Giants trade up well we have to find a trade partner first which is no guarantee and lets say were trading up from 11 or 12 .. how much will it cost to trade up from 11 to # 3 or 4
Im really curious what is the big deal with this QB class..
good post

I have to admit, I like Herbert but your points on Tua and Fromm are right on the $$.

dep026 : 1/17/2019 9:47 am : link
every other QB in the draft and in 2020 sucks in comparison to Haskins?

Its hard to keep up these days.

2020 has the potential to be a very good class:
Tua
Fromm
Eason
Herbert
Patterson

And that doesnt include QBs who come from small schools or have monster years (ala Haskins this year).

I can see it with Herbert.. that guy clearly has a skill set but IMO he never has really played up to that level you expect from a 1st Round.

Eason hasn't played yet, so who knows.

Patterson strikes me as a borderline CFL prospect and no shot in hell at the NFL.

Fromm  
CromartiesKid21 : 1/17/2019 9:51 am : link
is the prototypical College football QB similar to Danny Kanell coming out of Florida St.

Likely Fromm will be a 2nd day pick at best as his physical attributes simply do not translate to the NFL level

I sort of agree, in fact I only like a smattering of QB's over the  
PatersonPlank : 1/17/2019 9:56 am : link
next few drafts:

This Year: Haskins, Jones, maybe Grier
Next Year: Hebert, maybe Tua (big maybe)
Future: Clemson QB, Texas QB (not sure when he comes out).

So, if as speculated, I could get Jones or Grier in Rd 2 this year that would be the perfect scenario for me.

Itll be right under your Everyone on this team sucks but Eli thread.. Im still lol over you thinking Shea Patterson in a NFL QB its almost as stupid as your Colts dont make the playoffs with Patrick Mahomes proclamation.. Keep them coming buddy
Theres a long way to go for the 2020 class.

If the Giants dont find their qb of the future this offseason, my hunch is well see a lot of similar posts next year about waiting for Lawrence in 2021 who is by far the best prospect in the 2018-2020 classes combined as of now.

Can you please tell me what thread was that I started saying that?

Here's the thing. I dont know if Patterson is going to be a good pro, bad pro, or whatnot. But he certainly will be scouted heavily next year, and I think he will put up some big numbers with a new OC and Passing game coach with 3 very good WRs coming back. So we will see.

As far as Mahomes, its my opinion he doesnt make the playoffs with the Colts inferior roster. But at least I dont post the same shitty threads multiple times a day.

You're a special one. Ill give you that.

its always about the "stats"....
To sum up this thread  
dep026 : 1/17/2019 10:22 am : link
every QB outside Haskins in this draft and next is not worth it and we should give away valuable draft picks to ensure a guy who has started a whopping 13 games because he has nice stats.

End thread, we can all go home now.

You know how many teams are going to want Lawrence? Unless the NYG commit to going 3-13 or worse, theyre not getting the #1 pick needed to get Lawrence in 2021.
Haskins is pretty darn good  
Essex : 1/17/2019 10:27 am : link
I am very concerned about the short playing career, but I don't see another college qb better than him other than Trevor Lawrence. Again, not saying I would take him, but I have seen enough where I would want to see every snap he played in college if I was in a decision making position (i.e., Gettleman) for the Giants in the upcoming draft. He is that good and deserves serious attention.

AcesUp : 1/17/2019 10:59 am : link
But at this point, Haskins would be just as likely as any of those guys to be the top pick in next years draft if he were to stay. Any of those guys can completely fall out of the discussion or cement their place as sure fire franchise prospects, they can go either way. Just like Haskins. The only difference being that NFL teams will have more info on them in 2020 than they on Haskins in 2019. So he's not necessarily better but in the same uncertain class as those guys.

"Fromm from UGA is no where near as talented as Murray or Haskins not even close, he also has plays for a loaded Georgia team. I didnt see Fromm toss 50 tds like Haskins. Fromm imo is a backup in the NFL thats his talent level."

If that is how you feel then I suggest you go back and watch Fromm again. If Fromm was in this years draft he would be the #1 pick without a doubt. Fromm is my favorite QB in next years class. Go back and watch his highlights vs Alabama from December. Look at all the praise Trevor Lawrence got for his performance against Alabama and rightfully so.

Lawrence vs Alabama 20 out of 32 (62.5%) 347 yds 3 td's 0 int's

Fromm vs Alabama 25 out of 39 (64.1%) 301 yds 3 td's 0 int's

Fromm is so advanced going through his progressions. He gets rid of the ball quickly, accurate, and a good decision maker. There is a reason why Jacob Eason and Justin Fields transferred.
I love draft time...  
Dnew15 : 1/17/2019 11:49 am : link
It's fun days for endless discussion - especially when it comes to QBs. It seems to go something like this:
Fromm was the Lawrence from last year during the college season...Tua was the Lawrence from from the regular college season..Herbert was the Lawrence of draft talk from this year which then became Haskins when he declared...Someone else will the the Lawrence of the pre-draft/post-college shrine game type season...Someone else will be the Lawrence of this year's draft during the combine season...etc...etc...etc...
Feel free to exchange Lawrence's name with any other hot commodity college player or current NFL player or hidden draft gem or HOF QB or whatever....
Round and round it will go - and I will love it.
Lawrence will very likely  
Pep22 : 1/17/2019 11:58 am : link
require a disastrous 2-14 type season (because its quite clear he will be the #1 pick). Hard to imagine being that bad with OBJ, Saquaon, Ingram etc. Just too many home run hitters to be that bad.
Murray  
Archer : 1/17/2019 12:39 pm : link
Why isn't Murray in the conversation?

I would take him before Haskins or any of the other QBs.

We have seen players like Haskins and he will likely become a very good pro QB.

Murray on the other hand is different and has a chance to become great.

He has a unique skill set that I have not seen before.

I may be wrong but Fromm doesnt impress me.. I thought he looked awful against UT and to often his play seemed to fluctuate... up and down.
I will be surprised if Fromm is anything more then a backup in the NFL.. again just my opinion but I dont think hes overly talented

I disagree that Fromm would be the consensus top QB in this draft. Haskins does a lot of things better than Fromm does. Btw, this is from TheDraftNetwork's Benjamin Solak in December on the 2020 QB's.

Quote:
Fromm? Fromm struggles with velocity to the boundary! I think his arm to the sideline and downfield is average or at least weak enough to be a noticeable drop-off from a Tua or a Herbert and I think he lacks ideal escapability, pocket presence, and throw on the move ability. As I said: nobodys really broken down film on these guys. That includes me, as Im just going off broadcast film as Ive watched Alabama and Georgia play. But its clear to me that Fromm doesnt have ideal physical tools, and thats a big point for a lot of NFL teams.


and this is from Dane Brugler in October responding to a question about the 2020 qbs:

Fromm is a nice player, but he's not close to Tua. Might not be a top-5 QB.

The guys who aren't in the current draft class always seem to have less flaws but that's just because they're not being looked at closely and nitpicked by the draft media so often that their flaws are pounded into our heads.

Mayfield is short and a hothead.
Darnold fumbles a lot.
Allen is inaccurate.
Rosen is frail and has no interest in playing football.
Jackson can't throw.

Murray, Haskins, Jones and Lock are a better class.

This is how I rank them all pre-draft:

Murray > Haskins > Darnold > Allen > Mayfield > Rosen > Jones > LJax > Lock > And the joke's on you if you still think I'm serious.

Well, I watch a ton of college football. And I don't see anything upper echelon about Fromm. He's a very good college player, but he has more characteristics of a game manager than a play maker. At least as of now...

Fromm has average size. He moves okay, but he's not going to beat you with his legs. His arm looks good, but it's not in the plus category. I do like Fromm's toughness and pocket awareness. So when I add all of that up I see more of a solid day 2 pick than a bonafide round one selection.

I'm all ears to be convinced, but I think I need to see much more...
Fromm has basically shown UGA everything they dream of

in a QB to compete for a national championship every year. While they havent broken thru that door yet with him, it is clearly not because of his performances.

His development from a bit of a game manager as freshman to a polished pocket QB as a sophomore was clear as day. I can easily see this guy turning into a weapon for UGA next season and setting the stage for being the number one overall pick in 2020.

This is the type of unbiased, fair-minded commentary that I like. ; )

To be clear, I actually like Fromm. I think hed be great value as a day two prospect. I just prefer to invest top draft capital in the player with the exceptional skills.
Just want to give full disclosure with my posts :-)  
Jimmy Googs : 1/18/2019 8:37 am : link
Seriously though, I felt Fromm went from a pretty nice prospect to a clear-cut first rounder after this season.

He utilizes all of the field, all of his targets and goes thru progressions like a veteran.

Looking forward to another good season for the 'Dawgs with him a the helm...

DG, go find him....you have 3 years max but the sooner the better.



If Mahomes was in this draft, BBI would find ways to talk themselves out of a pick.

People want a 100% sure thing. There's no such thing.


And Lawrence Taylor could be in this draft and we would still have a shit load of posters saying...... WE NEED A QB!!!!!!!

That's probably true too. Everybody wants to be 100% comfortable with a draft pick and have zero risk.



The normal pre-draft cycle has begun...

Quarterbacks get better as we near the draft; Offensive and Defensive linemen get worse...

Poor example, and not true. Pass rush is a premium skill set. Very hard to find. That skill isn't like finding a RB at any RB store in America.

And Taylor's skills were so absurdly great at UNC that I would guess it would be near unanimous to select him.

Bullshit. We have had posters here say take a QB no matter what. It could be the next lawrence taylor, Ed Reed, JJ Watt, Saquan Barkley, Tomlinson - or whoever you want to fill in. If we dont draft Haskins or Murray - people here wont be happy.

Thats 100% fact.
We've seen 'cant miss' guys fail too.

So there's that as well.

I think the overwhelming majority of posters are keen enough recognize unusual skills that are highly valued in the league. That's what Taylor had. He was completely different. Jumped off the screen. Go look at his footage at Carolina on Youtube. It's just insane.

The RB position has been commoditized. There is nothing special about those skills versus what a pass rusher like Taylor brought.

Sure, there may be an outlier who wants a QB - like Milton's romance with Darnold. But I think even he would come around if he saw Taylor's skills before the draft.

2020? Forget About It. 2019 Draft is Now

Draft an edge rusher at #6. Draft an OL at #38 in the 2nd round. Move up to 2nd or 3rd round and get Will Grier of WVU. I believe he will be available. They have 3 fourth round picks and 2 fifth round picks. Cut Manning. Let Grier and Lauletta compete. If they cannot develop, the record will be lousy and the Giants will get the pick of the QB crop in 2020. QED.
