Not a fan of this pick. At all. The number of QBs picked this late that amount to anything are few and far between. Extremely rare.

I'll root for him and let's see what he can do. But it feels like a waste. Arguably a reach as well.

I kind of wonder if the Saints stole our man and we panicked and took the next QB on our board? Or maybe Bennett was the Rams' preferred QB all along, so we pounced after the Saints went QB, being afraid of a QB run... in either case I'd hope not...
Don't know for sure, but if Haener was their guy, and they were stunned, they would have used up all of their time to make their pick. However, I think the pick was in with much time left on the clock. That tells me they were decisive on this player.

I think you’re right, the Saints figured we’d take a QB and wanted to get ahead of us but but Stetson was our guy, we didn’t waste much time taking him.
It will be interesting to hear reporting on the lead up to the pick.

Rappaport says Bennett was Sneads favorite QB of the draft, which shows something.
Interesting. He’s like a Wolford clone. He just played on a much better team. If a guy is a 5-10 QB, he better be a great scrambler or runner. I don’t see that with Bennett.

I haven't followed college ball that much, so I'll reserve judgment on Bennett. That being said, he did play QB for two consecutive national championships, which means he's got some big game experience. And was a Heisman contender last season, meaning he was a big part of at least this second national championship. Also, there is no doubt this pick wouldn't have been made without McVay's blessing, so he obviously sees something. If nothing else, he will be a definite upgrade at backup QB. There's no way he's not better than Wolford or Perkins.

Stetson Bennett is someone I will not bet against. I am pleasantly surprised they picked him.

Cant imagine he'll make it to 128, but if there was a guy worth trading up for this late in the game, he's it IMO
I don't know anything about this guy, but there must be something about him that is scaring teams off.. I just looked at Adeboware's measurables and size...he looks good. But why is he getting bypassed? What are we missing?

Just goes to show I don’t know shit about what our GM and HC think of drafting! lol

Totally didn’t expect this, but hey that mother fucker is a winner.
I fear it may show that our GM and HC don't know shit, either. :woozy2:

There isn’t a chance in hell he gets drafted before the 6th round.
That’s why it’s such an awful pick.
They wont move up in the draft to get guys they want/need but they’ll draft a guy 2 rounds early.
Ridiculous.
Only 2 years younger than Wolford

As a backup QB, he's a good guy to have. should have a long career as a backup QB. That's how he should be looked at -- not a starter.
I just prefer getting that type of guy later in the draft. But if he's your guy to solidify backup QB, then i guess so.

Well we still got plenty of later round picks to go perhaps we stumble upon some gems along the way.

First pick I don’t like. I’ll predict that they sign an udfa QB and he beats out Bennett as the primary backup.
Not a big fan...wish he was 15 lbs heavier. It's not his 5'11 height as much as his 192lb frame.
