2023 5th Round Pick #149 QB Sean Clifford

[Joemailman]

Spent 42 years in college. Didn’t really ever put it together in terms of reading defenses. I give him near zero chance of being a starting QB at the next level. May make a decent backup.

That's precisely what they drafted him for.

Didn't like this pick, especially in the 5th round.

It's a new day and I still dislike this pick.

Listening to Guteys interview last night - two things popped out.

1. This kid must have nailed his interview when they brought him in for a visit. Gutey was all but sucking his d!ck when talking about him.

2. I think Gutey panicked when some QBs started coming off the board in the late 4th/early 5th. Just something Gutey said last night, I can't remember what exactly, but it was about a QB being taken before the Pack in the 5th round and he thought there'd be a run on QBs and wanted to get Clifford, because of how they had him rated and there was drop off after him.
- Bah, I could be totally be making this up, but that's what I remember and thought last night.

I'd still prefer a veteran back up going into the season - keep this kid for PS fodder.

That's precisely what they drafted him for.

Mr Irrelevant last year proves it is stupid to draft a QB who has no chance at actually starting. If Clifford was capable of being an NFL starter, you would’ve seen more progression to his game in his 42 years in college.
