Good convo on him from two ball knowers.

Starts at 1:25

Poor kid should really go in the 4th maybe 3rd.

I will be very surprised if he doesn't go in the 1st. Death, taxes. and QBs over drafted. Watch Tyler Shough go way earlier than expected.

I believe that Dart would be an interesting pick for a team with an established veteran QB that will allow him to sit and learn for a year.

We'll see. People have talked themselves into this in other years that were weak at the top, and it didn't end up happening. I remember when some folks had Ryan Nassib as a first round pick because of need at the position.

Ideal, but teams ruin these young guys by drafting them with the expectation to play. Typically with a horrible OL and no skill position players to boot.

I realize this is a Jaxson Dart thread, but Cosell was the only one that did not have positives about Kyle McCord. He actually said McCord did not have a strong arm and I have never heard or being that I have seen every game McCord played thought that. Locking in on his primary target and forcing the ball into coverage instead to running for a couple of yards to live to fight another play, yes. But arm strength? Did not feel that way on McCord.

For me Dart will be a 1st round pick. Do I think he is a classic 1st round talent? No. But in the right system and not playing right away I think he could be. Wont be surprised if he gets picked ahead of Sanders either but more cause I think Sanders might fall. Most of the QB needy teams who you would expect to draft a QB seems very active in looking for veterans which is a pretty good indicator they are not drafting a QB....speaking top 10 here. If you throw a Mike Penix at me I will say, Penix, is 5X a better prospect than Sanders.

Just curious, where do you see him being picked and by whom?

I think Cossell is talking out of his ass on some of that video. He was very general and not completely accurate. Maybe it’s too early for him and he didn’t have his QB evals finished. He was wrong about McCord’s arm. His comments on Dart were a bit generic. He seemed to be searching with some of his remarks on others.

A few teams really jump out at me. It feels like the perfect fit for him is a scenario where he at least sits for a year, maybe 2. He has all the physical tools and based on the way he plays has a lot of intangibles, of course I dont know the dude or ever talked to him so not positive on the intangibles . Area he really needs to improve is touch on his passes. He needs to learn how to feather balls over say a LBs head and into the soft areas of a D. He also never really had to go through his progressions so maybe some work there.

So where can I see him going? Again, my thoughts here are a team with a veteran QB in place looking for the heir apparent.

Seattle: Darnold in place now. They could move off him in 2 years and give the keys to Dart.
Pittsburgh: Been searching for a QB since Big Ben. Dart feels like a perfect fit for Smiths offense. If Matthew Golden is gone, I think Pitt takes him here.
Rams: LT, check, WR, check. CB, TE, OL depth. All still a need. But so is the QB of the future.

Pittsburgh feels like the favorite, cause I bet Seattle drafts Matthew Golden.

Like the Rams

Greg likes Dart nearly as much as me

The more I hear about him together with what I saw on film and in the bowl games make me think he can run McVay’s offense

As good as Kiffin is, could McVay get a lot more out of him? I think so especially as he learns from Stafford who I am sure would want to see him succeed once he hangs it up

Let’s be honest here, if you were writing a football novel, your QB’s name would be Jaxson Dart.

 

[Neil039]

He won’t be there at 26. As much has his name is discussed here, it’s the same all over the NFL websites. I doubt he makes it past the 12th pick. Some mock drafts have him going in the top 5 on NFL.com.

I know, imagine if he turns out great and you passed on him with that name! Just think about the merchandising alone

Seriously though, I would not spend a 1st round pick on him but would be fine if we traded back maybe a couple of times for more capital and took him in the 2nd. If a team picks him before our 1st pick then that just increases our chances for a more blue chip prospect.

I don’t agree with these talking heads when they say there are only so few if you discount the importance of some positions over others. There are some outstanding lineman on both sides; TEs; LBs (including Edges), RBs and DBs particularly safeties

It’s pretty thin on OTs at the top so I figure we will probably have to look at drafting one with a 3rd round pick

I don’t know anything out him, but I want our QBs name to be Jaxson Dart.
Who wouldn’t?

Hard to imagine a team taking a QB at 12 who every single report on him says he can't start at all this year.

Not impossible but I'd take the odds against.

I agree. The problem for players like Dart is actually an NFL GM issue IMO. They get nervous and hope to catch lightning in a bottle. Nix over performed from where "experts said he should be drafted". Purdy has done the same.

Dart feels like a Jordan Love player to me. Would benefit from sitting for 2-3 years behind an entrenched starter who he can learn from. Sadly, his chances of bouncing around the league and being out of it in 5 years exponentially goes up if he's drafted by a crap organization who will on retard his growth.

Yeah but do you know of such a team? I’m sure there’s one. I should know this…..
