Tankathon & GBN Draft Report: Where QBs Fall

M.S. : 9/27/2024 4:14 pm
on their respective Big Boards.

A few observations:

(1) Cam Ward will eventually rise on both Big Boards. How high is anyone's guess but I think several NFL teams will fall in love with his Aaron Rodgers-esque three-quarters gun-slinger flick delivery. How much in love? He's a Top 5 pick IMO.

(2) While it would just be terrible to watch, there is a distinct possibility that the Giants morph into a demoralized squad that plays well below its talent level. The upside to that is being well positioned to secure the QB they most covet.

(3) The opposite of course is they manage to secure 5 or 6 wins which may well cost them significant draft capital for Daniel Jones' replacement.

(4) If by some odd chance the Giants do not select a QB next April in a QB-rich Draft, then I can think of only two reasons why: (a) Daniel Jones drank a miracle potion and morphed into the second coming of Y.A. Tittle or (b) the Giants organization wants to torture their fan base for at least one more generation. My money would be riding on (b).

I want a quarterback that can stay in the pocket, but run if the opportunity is there. I would prefer Jaxon Dart or Cam Ward. Jaylen Milroe does intrigue me, though. I’m curious to see how he does against Georgia. If I recall, Sy appears to like him.
I'm starting to lock in on Quinn Ewers as my early favorite.  
BigBlueBuff : 9/27/2024 4:23 pm : link
I wonder if the injury will hurt him or if he'll just pick up where he left off when he's back in the lineup. Another quarterback that was very highly rated out of high school but who struggled the past couple of years is Cade Klubnik. It looks like the light bulb has come on for him, so he might end up rising on some draft boards, or not, but it's worth putting the idea out into the universe early.

I said nothing of the sort. I was laying out consequences from different scenarios,

Good thing the team doesn’t have to “tank” per say, they actually suck
Are these even updated?

This may shock some, but this team might just lose without tanking and against a fans wishes!

Tankathon updated 3 days ago. I’m too lazy to look up GBN but “I seem to recall” a Sept 23rd update or something like that.

He's been dealing with an injury.
Cam Ward

Is my favorite.

Like Allar and Nussmeier will get some love into the process because of traits each has (physical with Allar, brain and anticipation reads and window throws with Nuss).

Milroe is a guy who really intrigues me. Year under Saban staff, then with Deboers offense. Good physical build and talent profile even if QB translation into pro style is a bit raw.

Still unsure about how Ewers year plays out. He’s another intrigue guy.

This is going to be a real unique class into the pre draft process and draft to follow. Lot of QBs.
I have been a big Ward fan for the past two years  
Jay on the Island : 9/27/2024 6:48 pm : link
I was hoping that he was going to come out last year when he was projected as a 2nd round pick. The Giants could have landed Nabers and him with a slight trade up in round 2 to secure his rights.
Yeah Cam Ward is great.  
Jon In NYC : 9/27/2024 6:59 pm : link
He's my number one.

The name I don't see getting enough love is Jalen Milroe

Beating UGA/Beck could sure change that.
Can't believe Riley Leonard is mentioned  
PatersonPlank : 9/27/2024 7:49 pm : link
I think Ewers and Ward will be the top 2.
Who  
Maggot Brain : 9/27/2024 8:00 pm : link
in their right mind would put Connor Weigman on either list?
If Allar  
Jerry in_DC : 9/27/2024 8:47 pm : link
gets an adult haircut and loses the headband, I could see him being a fit with tbe Giants.

Moss and Ewers don't quite have the right look but might be close enough. I don't think any of the others are what we're looking for
Cam Ward

I watched Ward vs. VT.


The announcers were waxing poetic about his creativity and overall play.

Ward did show his dual-threat ability. He appears to be better at running than throwing the ball.
He was reasonably accurate. His arm strength is suspect.
He did not feel pressure and his footwork needs work.
He does have a quick release.

Ward had some cringe-worthy plays. He had two awful interceptions and three other passes that should have been intercepted.

One play he threw a lame duck up the middle of the field and his receiver made a saving catch.

If you look at his stats and the Miami win you could come away thinking that Ward played well.

Much of Ward's stats were empty and came against a porous VT defense. I was not impressed. I wanted to see more.

I want to see how Ward plays against a top defense. Louisville will be their toughest opponent and they are not very good. Miami's schedule is easy and they will not see a top-ten opponent until the playoffs.

Ward may have crazy stats and win the Heisman, but
