I imagine there will be a some wide thoughts on him like most QB's. With the amount of teams I think will be looking for QB's hard to seeing him lasting long.
I think someone definately drafts him in the first. The QB talent is not there this year and there are at least 8 teams looking for qb's this year. I just hope its not the Giants
From my understanding a bunch of teams told him to go back and a bunch told him to declare because he’s a first round pick. It was definitely mixed.
Not surprised at all. Going back to Gainesville made sense to further work on his craft - to me. I hope his team of advisors are smart and looking at this with the best intentions.
I think he's passing an opportunity to go top 5 the following year with a good year. He has really mediocre tape right now. I trust Daboll and Schoen to make the right decision there, and I do think he'll be available when we pick.
we pick in the late teens or early twenties, Despite his shortcomings, Richardson will be long gone by then. Post season workouts will only elevate his stock because they will highlight his athletic abilities. The fifth year option for first round picks also gives teams another year to get him acclimated to the NFL.
And if we wait until Round 2 we would not get him.
Richardson reminds me more of that but bigger more than he reminds me of Josh Allen. Allen was making correct reads in college, but suffered from lack of coaching. Richardson has had plenty of coaching from coaches who have coached NFL starters, but the reading of defenses/accuracy is scarily bad a lot of times.
There's Texans, Lions, Panthers, Colts, Seahawks (via Denver) in top 7-8 picks whom all need QB options in coming years if not now. Moving from top 10 even into top 20 picks just as well, leads a couple more teams that might be willing to take a gamble given there are several (Lions, Seahawks, Texans that have multiple picks in 1st). Bucs and Falcons are also team there in mid-1st that need to find some kind of establishment with a future QB soon.
Garoppolo's newest injury with Niners throws their situation likely into play with Lance likely getting another shot and I think teams less likely to go long term with Garoppolo, plus questions about Jets situation, plus Packers with Rodgers/Love, all leads to a still robust QB carousel in coming seasons.
And I'm still expecting Raiders to keep Carr around for at least one more year.
His former head coach at ND State has K State a top ten team that was overtime away from winning the Big 12. That’s better than anything Napier or Mullen have done.
And if we wait until Round 2 we would not get him.

Willis went to Liberty. Richardson went to Florida. But I agree that Richardson definitely needs to improve his reading of defenses and accuracy. Some team may nonetheless take a chance in the top 10 because of his physical gifts. Teams are always desperate for QBs.

Just to put some cards on the table is your coaching point about Dan Mullen? The guy who had a future Pro Bowl QB and got him drafted in the 4th round based on how he looked in college?

Craig Bohl was a Defensive guy before he became HC at North Dakota State then Wyoming. The K-State HC never coached Allen. He followed Craig Bohl at North Dakota State after being their DC.

At Liberty Willis was coached by Hugh Freeze the former Ole Miss now Auburn Head Coach. Dan Mullen is far and away better than any college coaching Josh Allen got.

I mixed up Bohl and Kliemam. Regardless Vigen is a pretty good OC and a damn good talent evaluator since he was the one who recruited Wentz to ND state and Allen to Wyoming. He’s also 21-4 in his first head coaching gig.
I think there’s an assumption that Richardson has better coaching than Allen or Wentz did because he’s at Florida, but that’s not always the case.
I only saw him play one game against Tenn and apparently that was one of his better games. I didn't think he looked all that great. I guess you are saying size, speed, arm strength and pray.

All draft choices are based on how they project to the NFL.
But it's impossible, IMV, to know how accuracy, consistency, ball placement, etc convey to the NFL. Impossible.
But it's not impossible to know how arm strength, arm talent, speed, athleticism, size, etc convey. Physical skills always convey.
Like I said earlier, I think AR should have gone back to Gainesville. Or maybe transferred to a different coaching staff. But strictly from a physical skills standpoint, he's got round one skills...easily.

Physical skills do not always convey to NFL success. Plenty of gifted athletes have sucked at QB.
playing a extra year. Yes he can advance some things but if its meant to be and he goes to the right type of team that supports him and brings him along accordingly he will rise if he has the goods. I just think your evaluation has to be that much better to eliminate risk.
On what I seen I couldn’t imagine spending a 1st on home. Now a 2nd or 3rd. That would be worth the chance. Perfect kind of QB to sit and learn while we give Jones a 2 ur contract.

Agreed. I’m not sure what a fourth year does for him - he’s likely to be drafted in nearly the same spot anyway.

I agree from a physical skills standpoint may be the best in the draft. I liked how he climbed in the pocket some also, but man he isn't ready. One more year would have been so good for him.
And I do think he offers more than Malik Willis did.
People may not like to hear it, but the Josh Allen comparisons coming out of Wyoming are accurate and we know who drafted and coached Josh Allen in the pros...
I think some of these "student athletes" are over the student part.
They'd rather be developed in the NFL than in a college program, even an SEC-level college program.
The problem is (at least in my view) that the NFL isn't set up like the NBA to develop young guys. On a 12-man active NBA roster, a developmental player can be pretty far down the bench. In the NFL, pretty much everybody on the 53 has to be able to play. The NBA has the G League; the NFL has... NCAA football? The USFL?
If you're Anthony Richardson and you're not even ready to be a backup in 2023-24, somebody has to carry you on the 53 and make you inactive every week until you're at least ready to be the #2. That's a precious roster spot. Big ask of a team.
I agree from a physical skills standpoint may be the best in the draft. I liked how he climbed in the pocket some also, but man he isn't ready. One more year would have been so good for him.
I agree. Right now, AR is a supremely gifted NFL QB prospect who is going to need a lot of development.
You just miss some things I would like. Playing in bigger games, more opportunities to evaluate high pressure situations, etc.
But if they evaluation is on you can get around that.
Agreed but the risk is also a lot higher if a team is already willing to take you day 1
I am less concerned with other teams evaluation and more concerned with our staffs. I am not one to like others influencing decisions. It should be based on their evaluation whatever that is and take necessary measures accordingly imv.
One of them could be in play for a trade up especially if the Giants don't make the playoffs.
IMO I hope we build other positions (WR,G,CB,MLB,Etc) first before we draft a QB.
DJ Uiagalelei is expected to enter the transfer portal. I wonder what program will take a chance on him resurrecting his career. Link - ( New Window )
A former 5 star recruit, DJ had two good games in relief of T Law 2 years ago. Since then he's had some good games but by and large he's not been a very good QB. I don't know who's going to make him a starter. This will be interesting to watch.
Richardson strikes me as 2023's version of Malik Willis.

He looked damn impressive in that 2020 game vs. ND in South Bend. He was alright last season & this season...talk about a roller coaster. The dude is all over the map.

Levis has not played well as of late. The potential is there and teams will drool over the measurables, but I think he may be closer to 32 than he is to the top-10 at this point. He may even dip into the second round.
In the Giants 2022 offense for a year with more QB running. Simple throws, almost no decision making. Richardson would still make more mistakes than Jones, but he'd also make more big plays.

Too many tools not to go round one - IMV. I believe he's a lock right now.
Too your point, Levis killed Kentucky in the redzone this year. There are no excuses for some of his decisions.
However, he was beat to a pulp this year and showed some real toughness and reliability by only missing one game.
that being said
I hope the giants do not draft him
I don't know about that. He may end up top-10.
So did he declare for the NFL Draft or is he just not playing in the bowl game?
Jones Über Alles!
If the roster is shit, is being one of the five best players on it that big of an accomplishment?
I think someone definately drafts him in the first. The QB talent is not there this year and there are at least 8 teams looking for qb's this year. I just hope its not the Giants

I think there’s an assumption that Richardson has better coaching than Allen or Wentz did because he’s at Florida, but that’s not always the case.
He is viewed by scouts as having a Lamar ceiling and no comps to Josh Allen.

Find past QBs with final collegiate year stats comparable to Josh Allen's, and chart their pro careers. Then we can make an informed comparison.

Why waste the money on Jones at that point? Go with Taylor, and Taylor can mentor AR while BD/MK start refining his game...
