His arm strength in my viewings seems fine/middle of the pack. Has real nice deep ball pass feel dropping it in to the receivers in stride. Showed great accuracy throwing off the run/scrambling around and generally good touch and accuracy.

Exactly how I saw it, which is why the "concern" about arm strength now seems a bit strange.
The small hands thing is nonsense as well.
I'm trying to find the article which talks about his arm strength, but from memory the comment was more about "in comparison to the other QBs, like Willis". It wasn't suggesting he has a weak noodle arm that won't work in the NFL, but that he's middle of the pack when compared to the other QBs in the draft.
Most every article I've read says he shined overall, and was clearly in the top 2 with Willis. So don't all get too bummed, except he may not last until 11.

Found it.
NFL Draft Stock Watch after Senior Bowl: Perrion Winfrey, Trevor Penning big winners, one QB shows weakness
Its just one article but when I read it I immediately though, good, let him slip to 11. He still may not slip past 6, 8 and 9.

Yeah, it's kinda hard to reconcile between the "there's no QB worth jumping up or reaching for" and "QB-needy teams could surprise."
I think I find the "next year's QB crop is far better so teams won't commit future assets to jump now" argument to be more convincing overall.
DET, CAR and DEN are the most QB-needy teams ahead of us, but I really think DEN probably thinks (and probably is) to close to being a contender to go with a rookie who isn't a surefire #1 guy out of the chute -- they've gotta go after Rodgers or Wilson.
CAR feels like more of a trade-for-guy than draft-a-guy, but they could be one who rides with their current guy and hold their assets for next year.
DET may draft a guy, but they'd probably try to do it after trading back -- or even wait and their late first on whoever's left.
That said, I could see PIT or NO trying to move up to just ahead of us to get the guy they like, if they he's the guy the S-Dubs like.

its a bad QB draft class like it was when we picked Haskins. Dont take a QB this year wait one more and make a run at Bryce Young
I posted a bunch of YT videos of each qb run/pass for games this past season. Does not take an expert to see how strong an arm is. I think of course this class gets dinged a bit since the guys past Willis don't have the same arm. I hate to use Brady as an example but never looked at him having a power arm just accuracy and everything else +++.
I guess for me personal preference if have to choose medium arm with high accuracy versus strong arm with medium accuracy. I'll take the first every time.
Corral and Ridder have decent arms as well. I just suggest people take a run through YT for the run/pass videos for the QBs in this draft there are a few for each.

Agreed. The one measurable area that correlates most to NFL success is and has always been accuracy. Inaccurate college QBs almost never become accurate pro QBs.

that's not how I recall it. (Not weak, but no Josh Allen either)
Tom Brady recalls pre-draft evaluation, wishes draft class ‘good luck’ (usatoday.com)
Brady recalled: “Poor build, Skinny, Lacks great physical stature and strength, Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush, Lacks a really strong arm, Can’t drive the ball downfield, Does not throw a really tight spiral, System-type player who can get exposed if forced to ad lib, Gets knocked down easily.”

Police: Alvin Kamara, others beat man unconscious, broke his eye socket
"If formally charged and convicted, Kamara faces up to five years in prison" I'm sure that won't happen, but I wonder what this means for his future with the saints/NFL. The video evidence likely means something more than a simple suspension

Snyder hires firm to investigate latest allegations
Seems like cover for another intimidation campaign and just general snooping.

Dan Snyder hires someone to investigate himself.
At the end of the investigation: "We saw no evidence of inappropriate behavior from Commander Synder".

This is the same NFL that commissioned the report originally for Beth Wilkinson and a) demanded an oral report and b) levied very light penalties for Snyder.
Don't expect too much.

Also to refresh user's memories Goodell has routinely slapped Snyder lightly on the wrist for transgressions. It's unlikely we see anything more than a "save face" move. Most you can ask for is a suspension like we saw Snyder "sit out" time and have Tanya be the "owner".
