Kyle McCord to NFL Draft

[Orangefizz]

The tough part is only about 4 teams are going to draft a QB from here on out. Steelers, Rams and maybe lions and Tampa. Thats almost it

I expect the Jets and Raiders to all draft a quarterback.

I expect the Jets and Raiders to all draft a quarterback.

Those teams are all going cheap if they all aren’t even drafting a QB till at least the 4th round. With all the defensive edge players seems like teams are prioritizing putting more and more pressure on QB’s and trying to restrict their movement. Probably why more offensive lineman are being drafted so high too. I think I read that something like 28 out of 32 starting NFL quarterbacks this past season were drafted in the first 2 rounds.

Kyle criminally underrated. Hope he goes before sanders

I love Kyle and think he's going to be a successful NFL QB. However, after falling to round 4, would it have been a better financial decision to have come back next year based on how the rookie deals are structured? I'm sure he would have made morth of 1-1.5M from NIL.

 

[RF2044]

This is really too bad.

Teams are going to regret passing on him for the likes of Shough, Gabriel, and Milroe through the lens of hindsight.

We had a 2 million dollar deal lined up if he was to come back.

It's a relatively thin year at the NFL draft for QBs. If he stuck around another year at SU, it's more likely than not that he would fall later into the draft.

 

[Sdot]

This might work better for McCord. His 3 most likely landing spots are, Rams, jets and Steelers. Him sitting behind Stafford for a year or two could be good.

 

[cusefan88]

He's a great backup. Competitive, smart player, good locker room presence. Even if he doesn't make starter status in his career I see him on a roster for a long time.

 

[rrlbees]

He may have made a little more with the NIL deal but he’ll now be 1 year closer to the 2nd contract where the big money is if he has success. And while I agree with everyone that he’s better than a few QBs taken, most of the dozens of mock drafts I saw had him going rounds 3-5. So that’s where he’ll probably be.

 

[Qbobby]

He should be the topish QB left, hoping to see him go early in the 4th...just not the Steelers.

Unless Cleveland plucks him early today, I can totally see him going to Pittsburgh in the 4th

 

[rocklloyd]

Is it too late for him to come back?

There are no rules anymore. Might as well give it a shot.

Would be the best quarterback room in years.

I think it’s completely absurd. We must all have not seen what we think we did. I just don’t get it

 

[All4SU]

I say it every year. I have no idea what I’m talking about when it comes to who gets drafted and who doesn’t. I must have a 0-fer record with my predictions.

I guess leading all of the ncaa in passing isn’t enough. I’m not sure what a Syracuse QB has to do.

 

[Irishsecra1]

I watched Shough at the combine. He was ok, but not better than Kyle.
His injury history is really bad plus he is 26.
Though got to love his dog!

Milroe was horrible at the combine.
He missed a ton of throws.
I think he was picked to use for gadget plays with his ability to run.
but frankly I wouldn’t have wanted Kyle in Seattle
Too much competition at QB.

As for Cleveland, I lived in fear they would take Kyle.
That is a messed up organization.
They took the Oregon QB
The guy is a shrimp and another oldster.
He can throw but he is going to get physically destroyed.
Not a fan of Shedeur but Cleveland should have taken him.
It is like there is a Cleveland QB curse.
QBs go there to die and disappear from the NFL.

I was just thinking this. They talking about Sanders withdrawing and coming back… could you imagine. That’d be enough to even make M Night Shyamalan blush.

 

[Qbobby]

I think Kyle and Howard go in round 5. Pittsburgh takes one there. Probably the Raiders or Rams take the other. I'm not sure Sanders goes at all at this point.

Is it too late for him to come back?

There will be a few guys nationally who will come back after not being drafted this year. And lol at someone who says “you’re not allowed to”

 

[690West]

I think Kyle and Howard go in round 5. Pittsburgh takes one there. Probably the Raiders or Rams take the other. I'm not sure Sanders goes at all at this point.

KC should take him with the final pick. Mr. Irrelevant would be glorious.

 

[BillSU]

Do you think he will be drafted? Undrafted free agent? This is unbelievable.

 

[Bulldog04]

I cannot get over the fact that Gabriel and Shough were picked where they were and McCord hasn’t been picked yet

 

[MSOrange]

I cannot get over the fact that Gabriel and Shough were picked where they were and McCord hasn’t been picked yet

Probably says more about how much I followed other teams besides the ones I have a direct cheering interest for, but I hadn't even heard of Shough before yesterday.

 

[pokercuse08]

At this point he would be better off - pick your spot, get into the ideal system and QB room, and get a shorter contract.
