I wonder which QBs drafted today will play in the USFL and which ones will wait it out?herns wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 12:05 pmSo we may see more guys joining teams early than I thought. This is gonna be interesting4th&long wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 11:33 amYeah - Jim Popp pretty much confirms it:
>> Popp: I do think each team will have a very unique path that they take. Some guys, just talking to them, are looking to get guys they can bring in immediately. And then there are other teams where it’s really about the future because they got a lot of their team back. And they would rather get the rights of players and maybe have them a year from now, even if it’s for half a season. This is what makes this draft fun, because we really don’t know which direction each team is going in. <<

Re: Draft details
Calling it, Malik Flowers could be the next KT if he gets drafted and plays (I like Victor Bolden's brother too but he was only a sophomore this past year). Would probably be a case of wait til next year though.
The RB from JMU (Agyei-Obese) who was big in the FCS spring season two years ago would be an interesting little pickup.

Re: Draft details
So reportedly, the WR the Breakers chose in round one runs a 4.29. If that holds true to form at the NFL Scouting Combine next week, he's going to be drafted in the NFL Draft, probably day 2 (2nd-3rd round).

Re: Draft details
Chase Brice is a good example of what I was talking about with Daniels, he moved around so much (Clemson>Duke>App State) he kinda fell off the map. Unfortunately here's a bigtime problem with these types, you'll almost have to guarantee jobs (the Bryan Scott-gate from the XFL rearing around) to get them to forgo that UFA contract that if they're lucky will wind up in the final round of cuts and maybe a practice squad gig, which you're only competing with 1000 guys--most had a higher draft position.
Hell coordinate this with Damond Talbot and the guys at Draft Diamonds, cause 95% of those guys aren't getting drafted anyway. That would have been a better bet. Otherwise you're just aspiring to join USFL1.0, the league that drafted Dan Marino and Jerry Rice #1 (as well as Mike Haight in the shutdown-but-not-officially-dead period) and obviously neither/none came.

Re: Draft details
More likely mid season pick up (rookie minicamps are when), if they need him, otherwise he's on their radar and Brice will know USFL interest in 2023.MGB01 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:59 pmOK now say somebody takes a flyer on him in the seventh, he passing it up so he can be QB3 that night against Memphis?GDAWG wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:56 pmChase Brice retweeted the tweet from the Houston Gamblers, who drafted him.MGB01 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:55 pm Chase Brice is a good example of what I was talking about with Daniels, he moved around so much (Clemson>Duke>App State) he kinda fell off the map.

Re: Draft details
if he gets drafted, he'll go all the way through training camp, as NFL teams don't ever release drafted players before training camp unless there are extreme circumstances. If he ends up undrafted and doesn't sign anywhere, he'll be in the USFL.MGB01 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:59 pmOK now say somebody takes a flyer on him in the seventh, he passing it up so he can be QB3 that night against Memphis?GDAWG wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:56 pmChase Brice retweeted the tweet from the Houston Gamblers, who drafted him.MGB01 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 21, 2023 2:55 pm Chase Brice is a good example of what I was talking about with Daniels, he moved around so much (Clemson>Duke>App State) he kinda fell off the map.

Re: Draft details
Players seem to be signing already. Michigans top 2 picks are on the official roster and Houston’s new qb is on theirs
