AngusMcFife Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I was hoping for Easton Stick, but he was taken late in round 5, so Trace McSorely is the next best thing. However, give McSorely's frame, I don't see him able to contribute much on offense until he hits the weight room. He's pretty small and he doesn't have that quick twitch athleticism to avoid getting crushed. That being said, I think there aren't too many other QBs that could step in a Lamar Jackson-style offense and be productive. At least McSorely can do that.

sp6488 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Would have rather had a guy like Tre Watson (LB, MD). Was shocked to see that Isaiah Prince was drafted less than ten picks later. That would have been a good grab IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I love this pick. I think McSorely has a winning personality and he fits our offense. What’s more he’s durable and is someone that can thrive. He reminds me of a poor man’s Baker Mayfield, only he has played in a very traditional offense. Given more air raid schemes (which is what I believe is how we’re looking to build our offense), he will have the accuracy to be very effective. We can’t just have two QBs considering how the offense benefits from having a mobile QB. While there’s nothing in his history to suggest durability concerns, if Lamar was ever to go down, we already know that RG3 isn’t a durable player. We can’t risk losing two QBs in one game or longer and having to completely change our offense for a Street QB. With McSorley he should come in and be inactive on game days but be groomed. He’s got Tyrod Taylor level athleticism and processes the field pretty good. There’s a lot of upside with him, I think he can be a starter in this league at some point.
