agreed he's not a play day 1 guy but that doesn't mean you don't pick him.
If you do evaluate that if he stayed in college as a 21 year old and would come out next year as the #1 QB in the class...then it makes sense to pick him.
All that happened is that he redshirted within your organization which isn't the worst thing. Not comparing them but red-shirting time helped Mahomes and Love ect...I don't need JJM to come in day 1 and play because the Giants really don't have high expectations. But if they feel if he stayed in college would be the #1 QB in the class with development then you have your QB already on the roster going into 2025.
in theory yes, but you do lose a year of cheap rookie wage if you pick him early which isn't nothing. nothing when it's mahomes, but it is something when it's jordan love
at first glance of next years draft, it does look weak at QB. even weaker when you consider deion saying that he's gonna have shedeur pull an eli and not go to any colder climates. so if we don't pick one this year, we might have to wait a couple of years. i'd entertain a move up for drake maye or jayden daniels depending on the price when you consider next years QB class
Yeah redshirting you do lose an all important rookie year...but if it helps the development ultimately it wont matter as long as you hit the ground running for the next 4 years before the longer extension kicks in. Even those 1st couple of years of the extension the cap hit can be minimal because you can spread that hit out or weight it more in the later years.
So I don't mind really redshirting as long as you pick the right QB.
And like you said. The QB class next year is expected to be pretty week. Certainly some guys come out of nowhere...but if you the believe the QB is worth it you can't simply just push it next year and hope you fix it...too much unknown. Its the most important position in sports. Its not something you can just kick the can down the road even if there are tempting players at other positions.
yeah, but those guys were seen as projects with elite tools, JJM is a project with good not great tools. easier to take redshirt gamble on guys like that + rodgers, palmer etc.
that said, even though the 1st couple of years of an extension have minimal cap hits, its still an extra year however you slice it. imo, extremely high upside should be a baseline for redshirting imo. i guess it comes down to if you see this guy having top 5-10 qb in the league potential. i feel like the tools aren't there for that
