Dolphins Fans What About Will Grier At #48?

So many teams are counting on Grier to be there in the 3rd / 4th, someone will snag him late 2nd round.
 
Doesn't have an NFL arm. Would rather go a different direction for a developmental prospect.
 
Hmm any QB picked after 1st round, for us at least, is probably backup material. In that case, dont draft a backup QB in 2nd round. Id rather wait until 5th and beyond for a backup.
 
I like this guy and I watched a lot of his games last year. He is a damn good accurate QB over 66% completions and his deep ball is amazing. Very smart. Always looks off the safety. He also has scrambling ability. But, he is a pure pocket passer. Here is some of his highlights from last year. Enjoy! I think he would be prefect for the Dolphins. Fire away.



IF Miami is thinking QB in '19 AND '20, I doubt the '19 QB will be R1. Grier would be a reasonable choice
 
I also like Grier alot. I'd like him but dont see him sitting there in the 4th. I think he'll be gone by the end of the 3rd round for sure. It makes perfect sense to throw a flyer on him and if he doesnt work out or show promise, you draft a qb round 1. I'd like to see them give someone like Grier a starting shot this year and keep Fitz on the bench as a backup. This way if he shows promise we have our starting QB. But if he sucks then we are drafting high anyway so it still works out!
 
I would definitely take Will Grier with our 2nd round pick. I don’t think he’ll be there though.

I think Will Grier has the skills and potential to be the best QB out of this draft.
 
Let me make it a little clearer for your so you can answer each one:


1. Grier is 24+ years of age and you never want to get a QB who is that old on draft day. That is enough to scrap him from the list of draftable quarterbacks. We do not want him, we do not need him.



2. Grier is not in the elite class of quarterbacks because of non-elite arm talent. He made very few elite passes in college and has trouble zipping it far.

That coupled with #1 makes him a scratch from the big board. That's not enough for you?


3. Grier's frame is also not ideal, at 6-2, 215 & he took too many sacks in college, which is a bad combination -- less than ideal frame, sacks, and not elite arm talent is a bad combo. How many red flags would you like to take before you scratch him off the board?!?


4. Grier does not have elite athleticism so we can say okay, we will sacrifice some performance because he is an elite athlete.
How many red flags are enough?!?


The Dolphins need an ELITE quarterback!!!! That is the only type of quarterback that will do!!! Not risks!!! Not in ANY ROUND!
I don't think he's elite either. He looks decent to me, but agree Miami needs an elite quarterback. That said, wouldn't mind taking a flyer somewhere around round 4 on a developmental qb who could exceed expectations, or at the least give the team a solid backup. Finley or Stick could fit that.
 
His balls seem to flail a little bit. Doesn’t have the power to thread the needle that I’ve seen
 
If he doesn’t have an NFL arm, you certainly can’t tell from that clip.

He does make some very dangerous throws wherein if the DB gets his head around it could’ve easily been an INT.

I know zero of the kid except what I just saw in that reel but if it’s more of that, I’d take a run at him on day two if he’s there.

two of the greatest QBs to ever play this game didn't have "NFL arms." I'm not saying Will Grier is the next Joe Montana or Drew Brees, but damn bro, when it comes to accuracy, from what I've seen he's best in class. I don't think he's there at 48.

One thing to like about Grier is that he is a gangsta, scores a ton, and throws it deep. The problem is, the ball often hangs in the air.

Will Grier is not a first round quarterback, and the Dolphins have no need for any player who is not first round value, let alone a QB who is not elite, first round value.

In this draft the Dolphins should move up and get an elite quarterback.
Yeah his velocity on throws is concerning. CK has brought this up many times. Particularly, when watching the Senior Bowl. He was trying to zip the ball all the time and just could not do it. One thing I will say, at UF he overcame the moron of a coach in McElwain and produced in his time there. He had to improvise alot in that system, but I never saw him really push the ball down the field. I think he has the mental game, but his arm strength is troubling.
