Davis Mattek on Sam Darnold

VideoTraining Camp News (Drafting)Captured August 1, 2026

From the video

I like Darnold as a pick. He feels like the last safe quarterback. I think that's true. I I do think that is true. I do think that Darnold is the last, especially after seeing that video of CJ Strad.

The last safe quarterback option in late-round drafts.

Ricky Pawol describes Darnold as 'the last safe quarterback' in fantasy drafts, suggesting he represents reliable value at the position despite being a late-round pick in $50 fantasy football drafts. Pawol initially expressed discomfort taking Darnold at his late-round price point, but then reframed him as the safest remaining quarterback option, especially after seeing training camp video of CJ Stroud.
