Ahhh, wasn't able to watch the Championship as it was on espn and I refuse to pay for that crap.
Good to know, saw Duggan play against a lot of good Defenses though and he played well, but Georgia IS anther animal.

It is true that Georgia was stacked. We will see with Bennett, he doesn't throw a lot of interceptions, that is a start.

In no way am I comparing Bennett to burrow, but the argument COULD have been made similarly.
I can see bennet having a decently long career 4-6 years as an NFL backup.
Yeah, we are talking about backups here that we can get in the late rounds. Maybe Matt McDonald like Truck said or Tune out of
Houston might be better fits here than Bennett though.

Maybe Allen comes back at the league minimum after nobody else signs him?
Maybe, I like Browning better than Allen though. If we do bring both back I expect Browning to win the job this year.

If the need for a prospect causes a team to take Hooker in the late 1st, it will create a domino of over drafting. If you go by their general grades, their next options are two 3rd/4th guys and then two 5/6th round types. If you use NFL.com's ratings, the gap is more obvious.

You may see a guy that sticks out to you, but I'm telling you another team that is looking for hope at a future in will take your guy before the Bengals...which are in win now mode. They will have other needs before QB. I'm astonished by how many fans want us to go all in yet think that a rookie qb in a weak class is the right move over a vet QB especially since it means the bye or seeding if they miss a few games.
Good stuff, but I am fine with a late round rookie if he is smart. Of course, would rather have a vet like Siemian but it looks
like he didn't sign, yet.
