2020 NFL Draft Thread

[PrideOfAthens17]

Is he the guy? Time will tell.

[Coltsman1788]

Wooooo!  YES~  Jacob Eason baby!  

[pacolts56]

Wow.... !!!!

[Hark]

Not a bad gamble with a 4

[stitches]

Eason!

[cgi4life]

I like

[dgambill]

We just wanted the qb pub.

[shasta519]

Wow...Eason. There you go

[ColtsLegacy]

Gross

[Four2itus]

Been saying Eason for a while.....! Yes!!!

[shasta519]

Love the arm...please make him quicker.

[John Hammonds]

Ok, let's line 'em up

Phillip Rivers

Jacoby Brissett

Jacob Eason

Chad Kelly

 

How do we take care of this?

[LockeDown]

Wow. They kept that pretty quiet 

[Dingus McGirt]

Adios, Jacoby (I hope).

[stitches]

I love it! Very worthy shot to take at a QB. Get him in camp, see how he does over the year, how he interacts with teammates, how seriously he takes his job, is he coachable, etc. He has a ton of physical talent. Now lets see if he has the rest and the drive to reach his potential.

You cut Kelly. Problem solved.

[shasta519]

The guy on FB was right...he leaked that they really like Eason weeks ago.

Carry 3 on the active roster and let CK go or put him on the PS

I agree. Good use of a 4th round pick. The kid has a chance to be really good.

I'm concerned about  work ethic rumors, but like his arm

[ColtsLegacy]

Took a really long time to make that pick too. Wish they took longer and just missed the pick

Comp for now is between Eason and Kelly.  Brissett is #2.  Next year is up for grabs depending on what kind of season Rivers has.  

[Indeee]

Mistake. Wasted pick. Such a good draft until this nonsense.

Lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow what just happened. This guy is a project but getting him in the 4th is a steal. 

 

Ballard said last night when’ve asked about a WB we just aren’t there yet. Lol he new this was going to happen. 

[Indeee]

Maybe they will use this guy to throw the ball back to the offense when passes are overthrown deep in practice. 

[Shive]

I'm really wary about Eason's composure under pressure. Hopefully its coachable, but we'll see.

Same. But IMO it's a worthy risk to take in R4. If he pans out this is a huge bargain. Hell, even if he becomes a stable backup, that's still valuable in the league. Instead of giving 8-10M for a backup vet.

[Coltsman1788]

I'm sure Ballard vetted that thoroughly.  If a problem he wouldn't be wearing the Shoe.  Eason isn't a perfect prospect but I believe Reich can get him right.  That arm of his is legit.  

[PrideOfAthens17]

Well, if he can't learn from Philip and Reich, he likely was never going to have much of a career anywhere. So now we'll see what he does with this GREAT opportunity he's just had dropped in his lap.

He is a project. He has played very little football. If he comes in and works hard he could be a steal with that arm. He can make any throw.  At worst we have backup.

[funktacious2]

The probably thought he'd never be there so that's possibly why it took so long. Had to have some discussions. That's my guess anyways.

[Rackeen305]

Chris Mortenson is saying People questioning Eason's Work ethic, and character concerns.. we will see. He does have a cannon for an arm.

[CamMo]

Chad Kelly was fun to watch in camp, but I think it’s a no brainer to have Eason take his place. Young guy with talent, and Chad Kelly has already screwed up his chance at becoming a every week starter IMO.

Yep, biggest weakness in his game. Fromm stay in the pocket as a statue which leads to problems, while Eason becomes frenetic and panics and starts spinning back trying to escape without much of a plan. Lets see if they can coach him up.
