He literally has 1200 yards rushing over the past two years.
The odds of all three QB's being elite QB's in this league is slim. Very slim. The only sure thing probably is Williams at #1, guy is a headcase though so we'll see. The stats tell us that it's likely 1 of 3 will be a good QB. We're not getting Williams.
Not drafting Harrison would be a huge mistake. Take a QB in the 2nd round. Sign a vet. Rebuild that way.
They are going to spend, there's a cap floor they need to hit. What the question should be is if they are going to go out and actually add talent, give them the guarantees they need to sign or are they just going to spend on a bunch of tier 2 or 3 free agents that they can easily get rid of after a year or two without it hitting Kraft's pocket? Onwenu will give us a clue about that before free agency even opens.
He's a lot closer to Mac Jones in arm talent than he is Williams, Maye or any of the top guys in the nfl. When he's kept in the pocket and he doesn't have 2 first round wr getting open all the time against college defenses, is he going to be able to make the throws into the tight windows? Or is he going to be able to throw outside the numbers at the nfl level because we just had to watch a qb who can't make those throws. He's a great athlete for the position but i don't think he's as fast or shifty as someone like Lamar Jackson is either.
I'm coming around on drafting him if he's the qb there at 3 just because you need one but i'm not sold he's going to be that good.

just seems inevitable Maye will be there
Belichick stuff interesting
He would likely have a boss he despises in Atlanta
He probably wants McKay gone and that’s unlikely

On that note, what is the average salary for NFL head coach? I wonder how that compares to Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama...
Not very articulate and it begs the question of who the heck is making decisions in the new front office? Can’t imagine the future GM or Football ops is going to be excited about the dynamic and vice versa with the staff if they are hearing stuff like 1000% and burning cash… He needs media training…

Siri says 6.6 million average salary for NFL head coach. More importantly, NFL coaches contracts aren’t usually very long.
Maybe Harbaugh eyeing the LSU Brian Kelly contract signed a few years ago 10 years 100m. No chance he sniffs that in the NFL
Damn why would you ever leave then. Maybe he's just using these NFL teams to get every last penny from Michigan. College football is a financial bonanza. Surprised the NFL hasn't tried to work its way in to try and get some of that money. Adopt it as an official developmental league. College football is basically turning into an employer/employee type setup, it will get there at some point.
Good for the players having more power and getting paid but being a head coach in college seems exhausting. Everyone is basically on a one year contract now and if they aren't getting playing time immediately might look to transfer. Transfer portal and nil money has made college football the wild west. I can see why every coach who has nfl interest would want to jump to the nfl.
Glad you brought up the one year contract thing because eventually I think we will see standard player contracts in college football.
This guy would be wise to stay with Joe Burrow
Glad to see the Pats are looking outside of the organization and being thorough.
You had your Mac Binky now I get my Jaylen binky!
It’s been fun watching him climb the rankings all season long. This MF may end up 1 after the combine at this rate
We’re gonna watch him dominate the league and we’ll have somebody mid like JJ McCarthy or Bo Nix.For your sake, I hope we pick Marvin. You don't Daniels on your shoulders. It's a heavy burden to carry.
AJ Green could only carry Andy Dalton so far (same for Calvin and the Lions), drafting a wr when you don’t have anybody to get him the ball and a weak qb class next year isn’t a great strategy imo (unless they shell out for Kirk)
Again the final 4 QBs this year are #1 pick, top 10 pick, 1st round pick, and guy with elite talent at WR/TE/LT/RB who seems to erode when he doesn’t have it around him. A top 10 pick and a #2 pick and a #1 pick just got eliminated, as did another 1st rounder in Love. It’s a lot easier to just use the high pick on a QB than it is to build a monster offense. Especially with our track record drafting and developing WR. Throw money at Mike Evans (or Pittman if Indy doesn’t franchise, I assume Cincy tags Higgins)

The odds are that he and Maye and Penix will all suck and fail to justify their early picks.
The odds are not in their favor.
The odds are not in their favor.
And the odds are even worse at the other points in the draft, especially with modern scouting!
QB is always a gamble. Unless they pay Kirk I don’t see another way out
