Speaking of Ehlinger, the Broncos just signed him last month. Doesn't look like he's going to compete against Stidham for the backup, but basically signed as their 3rd/emergency QB.
I think it's safe to say that Winston is a bust. 10 yrs in the league with 3 different teams & a 36-51 record & no playoffs. This is a "#1 OA" pick by TB that was supposed to lead them to the promised land. And it was so bad last year at Cleveland that he was benched in favor of Thompson-Robinson (remember the Denver game where he kept throwing TD passes to the wrong colored jerseys. Lol).If Cleveland thought he was their guy they wouldn't have released him. If the Giants thought that he was their guy, they wouldn't have traded their 2nd & 3rd rd pick & next year's 3rd rd pick for Houston's 1st rd pick to take Dart at #25. It's a bold move that spells absolutely no confidence with either Wilson or Winston (journeyman backups is their calling).The issue with the Giants is they also have Jameis Winston. So there are two buffers before Drabol has to throw Dart out there if the team struggles.
Is Mel Kiper a Remco fan? Seems like similar responses to disappointing events.Presuming Arch doesn't stay another year at Texas (or go where someone pays him even more in college).
"Experts" grading NFL teams drafts is almost as pointless as their mock drafts. For example, the Athletic/NYT graded the Panthers with an "A" but the Raiders with a "D". While NFL.com's "final analysis" gave the Panthers a "B-", and the Raiders an "A". I'm reminded how ESPN doesn't care how wrong Mel Kiper is, or Fox how many times Colin Cowherd changes his mind or makes stuff up, as long as people pay attention. Even Kiper himself has acknowledged this in the past, admitting he has nowhere near the resources of NFL teams with all their scouts and access to players, data, film, etc, but he knows he's paid for his opinion, his guesswork, so he gives it. His meltdown over Shedeur got a lot of eyeballs, and that's a win for them.
Kenny Pickett recently said he fully expects to be QB1 and the starter in Cleveland. Well, the Browns decided to not pick up his 5th year option. I'm predicting right now another difficult season for the Browns, maybe not 3-14, but it could be 6-11, again in last place. They should have an outstanding defense, but a carousel of QBs trying to lead their offense will doom them, especially in that division.
I posted similar a bit back. Noting how he rushed for something like -50 yards his senior year, and -77 his junior (granted, they don't calculate runs in college like the NFL), and took some bad sacks. But compare this to Dart, Milroe, or any number of QBs in FBS last year, or the last couple years.I'm beginning to think Sanders' drop to the 5th has less to due with his attitude & behavior and more with his limited mobility and rushing ability severely restricting his offensive flexibility. He was sacked 94 times in 2 seasons at CU, the most in FBS during that span. And he has a grand total of 29 rushing yds in 4 seasons of college ball (2 at CU & 2 at Jackson St). He's simply not a dual-threat QB.

Gators DL Desmond Watson Signs UDFA Deal with Tampa Bay
Watson becomes the largest player in NFL history with his free agency deal with the Buccaneers.www.si.com
Watson, at 464 lbs, becomes the heaviest player in NFL history. Will he make the 53? It'll be a tough road when two-a-days roll around in preseason camp.
If Miller is not to compete against O'Connell for the backup spot, then why did Carroll draft him in the first place? If he was just drafted to "bump" Carter Bradley out of the QB3 spot, that seems like a complete waste of a draft pick. And consider there were two good players left on the board at that time; a DT from UCLA (Toia) & a OT from Wisconsin (Nelson), that Dallas & Atlanta drafted right after the Raider's pick.He is zero threat to Geno Smith's job, and likely close to no threat to Aiden O'Connell, but my guess is he bumps Carter Bradley off the roster to take QB3/Practice. Pete is no dummy and has to know the more mobile the QB, the better their chances in the future. In fact, my crystal ball says in just a few years a QB like Geno (who's fairly mobile) will be the least mobile QB we see starting in the NFL. Whether Cam replaces Geno in 3+ years however remains to be seen, and is unlikely.
