Yes he’s a fantastic athlete and there’s plenty of raw talent. But for goodness sake, there are just some guys that you can’t teach accuracy, and I think he’s one of them. Maybe I’m wrong, but touch and accuracy are not as easy to teach as people think they are. I said this a million times before - you can go to any playground and find guys that have incredible arms. They’re not in the league.

Andy Reid made Michael Vick a 63 - 64 % passer. Before Andy he was awful. One of the most inaccurate starting qb’s ever. He was completing in the 50’s lol. He wasn’t Tebow bad but he was pretty bad. He just had a big arm and great legs. I’d definitely take a shot on him in the late 2 or 3rd. He’s still very raw, he hasn’t played many snaps.

5th round or later.

I think with NIL that we can take the guardrails off and just label some of these decisions as purely moronic. This isn't a "kid needs money so momma can pay her power bill" situation or "kid doesn't want to sit a year to transfer". Ones like this are either the kid is delusional and/or is surrounded by legit mongoloids.

5th round?!!! Heck no, man. He'll go in the first or second round. His legs are too dynamic.

I guess it took a lot of ****ty play for him to fall out of the first round, so maybe TVD has a shot to be drafted highly too if he goes pro after this year...

Florida QB Anthony Richardson falls to the Saints in 2023 mock draft

There's another 2023 NFL mock draft hot off the press, and it's brought another quarterback prospect onto the New Orleans Saints' radar. Luke Easterling over at Draft Wire has the Saints projected to make their first pick at No. 34 overall, having traded…

Please Lord no…we already have Winston standing around doing nothing who can’t start in front of Andy Dalton..

And he still won the division AND multiple playoff games before he went to the can.

And Richardson is about 4 inches and 30 pounds bigger than Vick.

WAY higher. I think round 1 is too high but he's got a far better shot to go Day 1 than he does Round 5.

With the way the nfl has shifted to running qb’s they’re using their legs to counteract accuracy issues. The threat of the run takes away a defender and gives bigger windows and easier throws. It covers up a lot. That said tge days of having qb’s playing 12-15 years is done. Ride a guy 6-8 years and move on.

Playing against Vick was like preparing for GT once a year. Its hard to prepare for that in a few days , it’s almost impossible. Having time to prepare for it was a different story. That’s why I was thrilled the eagles drew them in the playoffs. Jim Johnson was his kryptonite.
 
When he's bad he's useless bad. NFL teams will make him beat them with his arm and brain.

If I'm a HC I'd be worried about my job if my GM takes him with an early pick.

Its a lose lose. There's absolutely no way he'll be ready to play early. So the choice is to play him and watch a train wreck (reflects poorly on HC), or keep him on the bench, which makes the coach look bad for not "coaching him up."

Don't see it. I keep going back to Willis being a projected 1st rounder and then dropping like a rock in a Draft with basically zero other QBs than Pickett. A team taking him where you're saying would really have to think he'd be ready to start within a year or two max. If he's a developmental project as an actual passer then I seriously think he's looking at the 4th round as the earliest- and that's if he kills it at the Combine and looks like he can throw somewhat at his pro day.

A real guru like Andy Reid could do work with this guy. It’s all about who drafts him. Him leaving makes more sense than people think. He likely falls to a team that’s not god awful and doesn’t need him to play asap. No pressure of being the savior. In 3-4 years after developing you could have something. Plenty of raw talent there.

Facts. Reid. McVay. Even Shannahan, he could be a terror his offense with them legs. Unfortunately for him, anybody that would be able to extract that talent out of him all have relatively young QB.

Yup. That second part is key though and those guys more than likely won't burn an early pick to make it happen and other teams won't have the confidence that they COULD make it happen. ****, I'm not even hating on the kid just because he's at UiF. With what my Steelers should* run with Pickett having mobility, I absolutely wouldn't mind if we got him later and let him develop in the offense they should* be running. Obviously not under Matt Canada.

Would be surprised if a team invested first-round money in him knowing he's gonna take time to develop. Maybe draft position wouldn't change with another year at Florida, but also hope he's not a guy who's in and out of the league in 3-4 years.

He did the lords work but didn’t he get fired after that??

Anyone drafting him before the 7th round is trying to pretend they’re the smartest/look at me person in the league….
Think Josh McDaniels drafting Tebow in the first round with Denver.

He was fired because things were stale there. Both sides needed a new start
