With regard to Duggan, I tracked all of the 2023 draft picks against 11 publicly available rankings that I felt should be reasonably credible sources. I posted it at BFTB at the time. Duggan was the 241st player drafted; those sources had him with an average ranking of 277.5. He was the 14th QB drafted; those sources had him with an average ranking of 12.8 in the QB position group. It doesn’t seem like an outrageous pick based on that data. It basically came down to the Chargers drafting him in the 7th to get him rather than trying to sign him as a UDFA… they valued him enough to draft him.
One can certainly debate the different points of evaluating QB prospects, and to what extent Duggan met a reasonable set of criteria for a 7th round pick. I’m certainly not defending Duggan or the pick, but it also hardly warrants the scorched earth approach Kev has taken to it repeatedly.
Most importantly, it’s over, and we can all move on happily.
I guess Harbaugh is feeling really confident about Herbie’s health.
