My hot take is that instead of Devonta Smith, we should have drafted Micah Parsons or moved up a spot for Pat Surtain. I think either of those guys do more for our defense than Devonta now does for our offense, and I love Smitty.
I understand there was no way to know we’d be getting AJ, but Micah/PS2 could have been franchise cornerstones.
That Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback not a great one.
He’ll be in the argument for top ten but ultimately there’s a reason he was a 2nd round pick and last year is going to be seen as more an exception to the rule for him, more of a flash in the pan.
He’ll be undeniably a starter in the NFL but end of the day he won’t be an MVP level quarterback again. If it wasn’t for having a top OL, two #1 WRs, and a Top 5 TE he’d have mediocre stats and we would be talking about if he should get a bridge or if we should draft someone this year instead of sitting there with a quarter billion dollar quarterback.
Once we lose Smith and some of these lineman and replace them with lesser talents we’re going to enter an ugly era of constantly being on the fence about Hurts and what we should do with him and that contract.
