Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[AAM62]

If Bo Nix was a first, Kyle can be a first

Bo is more athletic and led a blueish blood. Those things matter.

Kyle led Ohio State which is a much bluer blood than Auburn/Oregon. He also didn't put as much bad film out there as Bo did. That also matters.

I have seen both Milroe and Ewers going 1st round in mocks. Kyle can get there as well. I don't think it is likely, but it's possible. Just takes one team to see something they like.

Guys like McCord start shooting up as All star games, workouts. etc happen. Could completely see him slide into the end of round 1.

In my humble opinion the things that NFL personnel will like about Kyle McCord is his football knowledge and ability to successfully play in two different offensive schemes. In addition his coaches telling them about his dedication to film study and his obvious leadership by example. I am willing to bet that Kyle McCord will over the next few months rise up the NFL Draft Boards and hopefully have a long NFL career. Kyle McCord, Forever Orange!!!!

He still has the issue of limited mobility and an OK not great arm.

 

[Irishsecra1]

He reminds me in many ways of Tom Brady.
Tom Brady was brilliant in understanding offense and reading other teams defenses.
Really did a lot of film and other study.
He was not very mobile and did not have a very strong arm.
And he was extremely accurate and knew how to place the ball where the receiver had the best chance to get it.
He knew how to win and could inspire those around him to be the best version of themselves.

Kyle is so similar it is almost spooky.
Tom was underrated in the draft and maybe doesnt even get his chance if the Patriots starter didnt go down with an injury.

I guess what I am saying is there is a definite place for Kyle in the NFL.
He just needs a little luck to get in the right place.
Personally, I would love the Dolphins to take him as I dont think TUA is the long term answer because of his concussion issues. They desperately need someone like Kyle as his backup.

I don’t get the ewers thing at all. He floats every ball. Not even close to an nfl arm

I think these will be the things that will increase his draft status more than anything else.

Yea I can’t see how ewers is a first round pick.

You’re dead on here !!!

Milroe is another Justin Fields. Good luck with that.

Backup You’re dead on here !!!

Completely agree. Was a pleasure to watch Kyle this year. Hope he has a Brady career. But I also think a lot of the success of both guys was the " system ".IMHO, I think with New England's system Bledsoe would have had the same success. The season Brady got hurt, If I remember correctly the backup ( Garoppalo SP ) came in and put up video game numbers. I think he got hurt and the 3rd stringer came in and also had good numbers. I think the system plays a big part.

So Brady was just a system QB? Sounds like a good hot take.

 

[jordville]

I listened to a little of Freddy & Harry on the way home from work today. They were talking about QB prospects in the draft and both really liked McCord (but going to the right situation of course).

Both were talking about Coach Fran too and the job he has done.

 

[shu 49]

Yea I can’t see how ewers is a first round pick.

Maybe third round but nothing above that.

Well he won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay too!

 

[Idiocuse22&]

Stock in your eyes or stock in other peoples eyes? Just to play devils advocate, how many defenses did McCord face that were comparable to what Allar faced this year?

If McCord does truly have NFL starting potential he should be trucking these barely top 50 defenses we played and blowing up the stat sheets. Allar on the other hand is running offenses and having to make plays against top 10 defenses. That's what NFL scouts look at too.

As always I have to always say I agree McCord is a better QB than the rest of the hacks in this draft but people have to take off the orange colored glasses.

Not that I am disagreeing with you at all...but just to play devils advocate didn't #6 blow up the stat sheets?

 

[Idiocuse22&]

It still comes down to value. if you have a QB as a 5th rd grade and the QBs ahead of him are gone do you jump him to 3rd rd because others are gone?

Depends on if the Giants want to draft a QB...
Hell they might take #6 over Ward...
I mean he did beat him.

 

[Finwad32]

I’d be confident that if the Giants were interested in any Syracuse players, including McCord, that they know who to call to get the inside scoop.

 

[CuseBlood44]

I get what you’re saying to some degree. But I’ve been on this board and the previous version for a long time, for me and my age lol. MANY legit insiders have been run off because info was incorrect, slightly incorrect, didn’t happen, etc. It happens. Even people directly saying they're going to do something, then change their minds. So to expect that people who’ve heard info, that info will always be right is just not realistic. But when it’s not, people crap on them despite the fact that a majority of the time their info does prove to be true vs the times it doesn’t materialize.

When I first joined the board there was inside info all the time and it made the board really fun to pay attention to. Now there’s almost none of that and the few times we do get thrown a bone someone comes along and kicks that bone at the detriment to the rest of us.

The ones that provided that information have always had solid sources and almost always comes true. Just leave it at that.

We aren’t talking about a player deciding to commit or transfer somewhere. It’s a clear cut yes, no, or haven’t heard back to the waiver getting approved by the ncaa. Those with sources said one thing and the school said another. That’s what I’m curious about, and I’m allowed to inquire on it
