I think a guy like Morgan or even Gordon has far more upside than Browning. Browning has the upside of a guy like some of those no-names that the Vikings have brought in in the past, like Stave.

Browning is a former top HS quarterback (#3 or #5 pro style QB depending on your scouting service) in the nation, productive college player with good athleticism that was dinged due to throwing arm injuries - his upside is no different than anyone drafted in the third round and beyond.

SemperFeist Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I can’t agree that Browning has any more upside than the likes of Fromm, Hurts, or Gordon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. But going further, even if they all had the exact same upside it is worth taking someone as none of them have a 100% chance of reaching their upside potential. Having a couple developing allows you a better chance of ending up with someone that nears their potential. I am a proponent of having 4 QBs with reasonable potential to become a starter in the league. Odds are by roster cut down one of them will have fallen behind enough to be able to go into the season with three of them. If not, it isn't a terrible use of the roster spot.

Recency? Browning's sophomore season at Washington is as good as any from the likes of that group. 43 touchdowns and 9 interceptions on less than 400 attempts. Gordon had near 700 attempts and only put up 48 touchdowns. Not to mention Air Raid QB's typically don't transition well to the NFL with Kyler Murray and Patrick Mahomes being the outliers; Gordon certainly isn't in their class. If you want to argue that the arm injuries are something he might not ever fully recover from, I might listen to that argument, but in terms of developmental potential Fromm/Gordon are no different than Browning in that regards. Hurts brings an added element, so he MIGHT be a better developmental option, but at what cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Matt Schneidman✔@mattschneidman Josiah Deguara was @dpbrugler's No. 12 TE, forecasted as a sixth-round pick. The Packers make him the third TE taken in the draft. And for the second year in a row, Green Bay takes a TE in the third round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone in your assessment. Draft analysts have rationalized the Packers not upgrading their WR corps by stating that this draft is so deep in WR talent that a decent one can be found in the 4th or 5th rounds. However, the Packers remaining picks are 175 (late 5th), 192, 208, 209, 236, 242. Perhaps they are just going to wait until other teams cut some WR's in a few months?
