And . . . they got one in Trask, not Mills.
Thought Tampa Bay made sense too. Apparently not. Perhaps Mills isn't what OF's evaluation of all the video he watched showed. . . .

And . . . the Vikings take Kellen Mond over Mills. Hmmmm
RE: Davis Mills a 1st round pick? - BostonCard - 04-30-2021
And the Vikings also got a QB not named Mills.
Maybe the QB that committed to USC was onto something.

And the Stanford QB humiliation continues...
Lose a QB recruit to SEC South Carolina. Then, on same day, two SEC QBs are drafted ahead of a Stanford QB who is absolutely better than both of them. Why? Because Stanford QBs aren't developing fast enough or putting up big enough numbers?

Or maybe teams are concerned about his history of injury?

Ugh. Picked by Houston #67.
Worst run franchise in the NFL.
RE: Davis Mills a 1st round pick? - cardcrimson - 04-30-2021
Ugh. The Texans. . . .

Obviously the guys in Boston and Tampa are good evaluators of talent.

While I am sure that Mills would have preferred to be drafted by another franchise, frankly I believe that he got about all he could expect in terms of position in the draft. Does this mean I don't think he was better than some of the QBs picked in front of him? No, he undoubtedly is better. However, he was often injured and has not started many games at the college level. There are plenty of reasons for caution. However, 3rd round is not chopped liver. It is now up to him to make believers out of at least his coach and teammates.

Given the fluid QB situation in Houston, it's not the worst place for Davis to be, right?

IIRC the Niners took some Domer QB in the 3rd round years ago. Whatever became of that guy anyway?

I'm just happy that none of Little, Mills, or Adebo was drafted by the Vikings or Packers LOL

Niners moving their two fourth rounders probably means Dalman will be going elsewhere.

Bad organization. Not good.

Mills would greatly benefit from a year or so of training at the NFL level before he is thrown into the fire. It would also be nice to have a good team that could protect the QB and could provide a strong offensive game plan that didn't require the QB to win the games by himself. He didn't get that. If there is a silver lining to not being an early first round pick it would be the possibility of being drafted by a good team. That didn't happen, unfortunately.

If Watson comes back, he will have to beat out Tyrod Taylor or he probably ends up on practice squad.

Great fit for Mills. His style is so similar to that of Watson's and Taylor's. . . .

You think Dalman is a fourth rounder? I'm thinking he will probably be available in the fifth and maybe sixth round, and there is a legit chance he will be a UDFA.

4th round, 9th pick to Falcons!

Niners have three picks in R5,
If they think that Jalen Hurd won’t come back they could pick Simi.
