Keeping in mind that these ratings do not factor rushing in at all, which obviously hurts Lamar the most. The overall rankings are: 1. Baker Mayfield (4th highest they've had dating back to 1997, behind only Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer, and Donovan McNabb) 2. Lamar Jackson 3. Josh Rosen 4. Sam Darnold 5. Mason Rudolph 6. Luke Falk 7. Kyle Lauletta 8. Josh Allen

This and the LB depth chart make me want to vomit.

I'll take the Bucs

Those are some super high expectations.

Buffalo’s #2 WR last year was a guy that got cut from a team with the worst receiving corps in the league. Pryor easily would have been in contention for the #2 spot on the Bills last year even with his pathetic level of play.

Nah not really. He’s a pretty good prospect in his own right though.

I wonder if part of Houston working him out is because they see the Jaguars as a possibility for him and want to figure out what makes him tick in case he ends up in their division.

I don't mind letting Deonte walk; he's a fringe roster guy on most teams. Unfortunately for the Bills, the WR depth chart is so awful that he was the #2.

They will almost certainly sign AND draft LBs. This is probably the weakest position on the roster right now.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I think Darnold and Allen are the top 2 on both Cleveland, New York, and Buffalo's big boards but we'll see how it all shakes out in a month! Why not?

I'm not sure that this is proof that he's consistently accurate, but thanks for showing us some of the highlights. All the film I've watched has been the complete game film, but seeing some of his highlights all together like that is so much fun. Simply put, on his good days, he can make throws that no other QB in this draft class would even attempt to make, for better or worse.

No, he's a free agent.

Dropped passes are obviously a big deal, but it's important to consider the fact that a contested catch that gets dropped doesn't go down as a drop. This is important for two reasons in this case: 1. The offensive system that Wyoming uses naturally doesn't create as many openings as offenses at Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, UCLA, etc. do. 2. Wyoming's WRs had a lot of issues with creating separation in general. For example, one of his earlier games, maybe against Hawaii, his WRs dropped like half of his passes, but I would bet that most of them weren't counted as drops because he was threading the needle to WRs that weren't very open. This isn't to suggest that we should ignore all of the red flags with Allen and that he'll definitely be good, but simply pointing to drop percentage doesn't give you the complete picture of the quality of the WRs.

There's simply no way to convince someone that Allen won't suck because there is plenty of potential for him to. But for a fan base that has had roughly an average QB for the past few years and decided that they're sick of average, I find it kind of odd that so many want to avoid taking one of the 2 or 3 QBs that has a legitimate shot at being an elite QB.

I think Baker Mayfield is the only QB that faced more top 30 defenses than Lamar and the average defensive rank of Lamar’s opponents was higher than any of the other top QB prospects.

Not yet. I’d bet that’ll come after their pro days.

Being too good at running isn't what has prevented "running QBs" from winning a Super Bowl. Not being a good enough passer or simply not having the fortune of being on a great team is. Guys like Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Donovan McNabb, Mike Vick, John Elway, Steve Young, etc. have proven that you can win with a "running QB". Only one team gets to win the Super Bowl each year and in a league with like 5 guys that you might consider to be "running QBs", the odds simply aren't in your favor in any given year that a "running QB" will win the Super Bowl. But if Lamar becomes an average passer, your team will probably be a contender as long as the team around him isn't awful and he'll probably be an MVP candidate. I'd be okay with that.

So is a slight movement allowed or not allowed with this new rule? The article makes it sound like it is allowed but that was already the case this year.

Smokescreen. They’re taking Derwin James for sure.

Not to suggest that it isn’t an issue, but literally none of this year’s QBs work under Center much. Allen and Rosen probably did it the most of anyone and that was only like 10-20% of playcalls. A lot of these guys took roughly 0 snaps under center outside of maybe goal line situations.

My comparisons would be (most likely comparison first, peak comparison second): Darnold: Current version of Jameis Winston, Philip Rivers Rosen: Eli Manning (but injury prone rather than being an ironman), Matt Ryan Mayfield: Jeff Garcia, this past year's version of Case Keenum Josh Allen: Blake Bortles, Cam Newton (but with more emphasis on passing than running) Lamar Jackson: Mike Vick, N/A (I don't think Lamar's potential peak is really comparable to any other QB before him) Mason Rudolph: Nathan Peterman, Elvis Grbac Kyle Lauletta: Colt McCoy, Alex Smith

Besides Barkley, Ronald Jones is my favorite back in the class but I think he’s going to go in the 2nd round. i like Hines, Adams, and Martez Carter as Day 3 targets and could throw Jaylen Samuels in with that group too; I foresee him being used mainly as a receiving back in the NFL rather than a TE.

glad you are not the Bills GM
