    I'd take the 2 best defensive players on the board. Thibodeau and Davis. From then on, I'd draft offensive players; rbs, guards, wide receiver, tightends.

    Next yr draft best QB available.

    Pretty much all rookies look like that.
    His second stint as starter and home stats were great.

    Deshaun never looked that bad. Even when his passing was off he won games with His feet. We never lost 40 to 0...

    What?
    Deshaun had some extremely bad games as a rookie.
    Y’all need to stop romanticizing this dude. Look at his game logs.
    He threw a ton of picks in 6 games.

    Huh? He played 6 games before tearing his ACL. His worse game statistically we won on his 50 yard run into the end zone? What are you talking about? He never threw for less than 100 yards with 4 picks in the same game. Even when he threw picks he still has more touch downs. I have no clue what you are remembering.

    In fact, Mills outplayed Watson against the Pats.
    Watson had some great games as a rookie, flashed super stardom. But he still threw a ton of picks.
    Mills played a far tougher schedule in first stint, the best defenses in the NFL.
    Second stint he did really well and had a lot of wow throws.
    He isn’t a guarantee, but he’s got every tool needed to be a great new age QB and was the number 1 overall recruit out of high school.

    He threw 8 picks in 6 1/2 games.

    That’s not good.

    Mills threw 10 picks in 13 games.

    what are you even saying, Deshaun went head to head with Goat and we should have won. Mills didn't even have to play against Tom Brady, stop overrating him.

    Go back and look at Peyton Manning's game log from his rookie season. Dude had some truly atrocious games. He's not alone. Aikman and Elway had awful rookie seasons as well.

    And those guys all had way more college experience than Mills did. I'm not saying Mills is a future Hall of Famer. Far from it. But he's already exceeded expectations to most people, and he's earned a shot to see if he can be a long-term starter.

    Also, Watson didn’t play Brady. The defense did, Clowney scored on a fumble return and Fairbairn had a ton of field goals.

    Y’all don’t even try to hide your bias.

    look at the score. We were leading that game. We had it won. Brady led them in a game winning drive.

    What bias? All I said was Deshaun never looked as bad as Mills and I'm still right. We lost a game 40-0 and mills threw for less than 100 yards with 4 picks. And you were saying Deshaun was just as bad. Show me that game? When was he that bad? We never got shut out.

    I remember the game very well.
    Watson did not go toe to toe with Brady.

    Watson didn’t face a single defense that was as good as Mills faced in the first stint.
    Just admit you don’t want Mills, for whatever reason.
    You can’t see the positives because you’re stuck up a sexual predators ass.

    Lol this dude literally posted the worst qbr in 3 seasons. He had a .8? Like what am I saying that is wrong. There is bad and then there is historically bad. Mills was historically bad. Watson, manning whoever you want to throw out there have never been this bad. That is all I'm saying. So excuse me for not being optimistic.

    Against the Bills, Watson didn’t face a single team that good in 2017.

    Mills also had 4 games as a rookie over 100 passer rating. One against the Goat coach and another against the number 1 seed in the AFC.

    Your bias is showing.
    If Mills was black, would he be good enough for you?

    Imagine thinking a couple bad games from a rookie overrides the fact that he played very well overall for a rookie. So short-sighted and sad.

    You clearly don't read well. I gave him props too. I said he had great games. He was amazing against the colts. You only focused on the negatives.
