Anthony Richardson drafted 4th overall to the Colts

[MJMGator]

If CJ Stroud is on the board, you’re a complete moron if you don’t take him over any other QB. I think he’s gonna be a good one in the NFL. The rest are gambles.

Dredging up old posts to disparage and mock fellow posters is not what this board is all about. Never has been.

You shut your whore mouth, friend!

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Didn't we have a DL get taken at like 3? Gerrard Warren maybe?

 

[soflagator]

I’m hearing Dallas trades up and takes Levis #1.

Didn't we have a DL get taken at like 3? Gerrard Warren maybe?

Yes. Think he’s still the highest. Or Fowler.

 

[AlexDaGator]

I thought we had second overall picks in football and basketball (going waaaay back) but no first overall picks.

Chuck Hunsinger 2 overall, da Bears
Spurrier 3rd to 49er's
Wes Chandler 3rd to Saints
Gerald Warren 3rd Browns

Absolutely, Cam Newton went #1 overall and Kyle Pitts was the #4 pick.

I'll count Pitts, Newton not so much for obvious reasons.

 

[Gatorraid81]

Richardson is going no lower than #4 to the Colts. Have we ever had an athlete go as high? I don't think we have.

Didn’t the Jags take Fowler in the top 3?

 

[Silverback Gator]

He could hit X's and O's chat out of the park, that has nothing to do with his instincts when the ball is snapped and defenders are bearing down.

They do not get to conduct drills with defenders ball hawking? They have to go with film and combine results?

Wes Chandler #3

 

[78]

Yep, Chandler (1978), Fowler (2015) and Gerard Warren (2001) were all taken third in their respective drafts. Can't find a Gator who was taken any higher.

They’re all gambles. There’s only been one sure-fire, can’t miss, bonafide HOF, likely better career than Brady, talent at QB from the past few drafts: Trevor Lawrence.

 

[Zambo]

@Zambo said Richardson even going in the first round was ridiculous, so I can't buy this.

He'll be lucky to make an XFL practice squad.

It seems like Colts QB Gardner Minshew is already getting to know Anthony Richardson

The Indianapolis Colts recently signed Gardner Minshew, and he may already be getting to know Indy’s next quarterback, Anthony Richardson. At the start of free

Hunsinger was 3 overall (and a humdinger).

Found a second overall, but it was funky due to WWII. He played a year in the NFL without being drafted, then got drafted second overall.

Paul Duhart

Paul Duhart - Wikipedia

After being discharged by the U.S. Army in 1944, Duhart was given special dispensation pursuant to a ruling by the NFL in order to sign with the Green Bay Packers, since his college team, the Florida Gators, had previously disbanded for the 1943 season, preventing Duhart from entering the NFL Draft that year.[3] As a part-time starter, he helped the Packers to a championship season in 1944.[3] The 1944 NFL Championship Game was played on December 17, 1944 at New York City's Polo Grounds. The Western Division champions, coach Curly Lambeau's Green Bay Packers (8–2), squared off against the Eastern Division champions, coach Steve Owen's New York Giants (8–1–1). Led by Green Bay's end Don Hutson, quarterback Irv Comp, and running back Ted Fritsch who scored two touchdowns, the Packers compiled a 14–7 victory over the Giants, prevailing over the Giants' star running back Bill Paschal and quarterback Arnie Herber. Duhart's last-minute interception of a "hail Mary" pass by Herber secured the Packers' victory.

Prior to the 1945 NFL Draft, the NFL determined that Duhart would have to enter the draft,[3] and he was selected in the first round (second pick overall) by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[5] Duhart was the first college football player from the state of Florida to be selected in the first round of the NFL draft. After playing two games for the Steelers in 1945, the Boston Yanks purchased him,[6] and he finished the 1945 season with the Yanks before injuries ended his NFL career.[7]

Duhart finished his two-season NFL career with sixty-eight carries for 200 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and nine receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns.[1] He also completed seven passes for sixty-nine yards.[1]
