Top NFL QB Prospects for 2018

[BuffaloHokie13]

Thats the last guy Id listen too. Hes an idiot

Well almost exactly a calendar year ago he said the Bills would take Tre'Davious White

[KOKBILLS]

 

Biggest issue for Stidham is going to be sample size. Auburn typically doesn't pass much more than 300 times a season.

 

There's definitely something about him worth watching and after Wentz/Trubisky going #2 overall, maybe the NFL cares less about that than I do.

 

 

It seems to be trending that way for sure...

 

Now if teams can learn a little more patience with the small sample size types it may just pay off...If not...Well...Good luck!

And Jonathan Allen to the Skins, and Fournette in the four slot to a team from Florida! Edited May 5, 2017 by mannc

....why?...can still see Beiber McShay's face snickering during the 2007 draft calling Bflo's selection of Lynch at #12 a "reach of a bust".....better one was Brylcream Mel's tussle with Colts' GM Tobin in 1994 for taking LB Alberts vs Dilfer at #5....Tobin was asked about Mel's rant and deadpan said, "who the hell is he?"....classic......these guys are clowns....

Hey, for starters, we owe a lot to Mel Kiper. The draft is what it is, in large part because of Mel Kiper. The first to really do what he did, kind of the trailblazer.

 

Moreover, Mel has been offered jobs by NFL teams.

 

I mean, clearly some are better than others, but they entertainment value at best. Once people start acting like they are more than that is when things get unhinged.

 

Not for nothing, there are maybe a handful of people I know that even know about that many prospects on THEIR OWN.

 

Most fans go off lists compiled by those guys.

he also had the bills making the playoffs in that draft.

I'm all in on Josh Allen right now. Hopefully Darnold and Rosen go ahead of him so we have a chance to trade up for him.

[Chicken Boo]

There's a lot to like about the QB class. Behind Darnold and Rosen, Mason Rudolph intrigues me the most.

 

He'd have to learn to play from under center, but Rudolph has a live arm and terrific accuracy! He moves well in the pocket, always keeps his eyes downfield and throws with anticipation.

 

It looks like I'm going to be watching more college football this year than I have in a very long time.

I have heard he is mentally fragile. Incredible arm talent. But very much hates getting hit. If you draft him for your NFL team you better have an elite NFL line because he takes a few hits he will give up.

Brady 2.0 ?

[Kirby Jackson]

 

Anyone want to take a guess who KellyTough supports?

Choklahoma? They're going to get WAXED in Columbus this year. Their season will be over before it starts.

Why is Darold the top guy? 1 season folks that's it. By the draft Baker Mayfield will have three outstanding seasons under his belt including setting the season record for QB rating (2016).

Mason Rudolph is a choke artist. OU kicks his ass everytime they play. He can't be counted on in big games.

 

Baker Mayfield folks.

Darnold is the top guy because he can make plays inside and outside the pocket and his team mates rave about his leadership and bottom line is he is clutch.

[OldTimeAFLGuy]

 

I like the Mason Rudolph pick in this early going. Sorry, but I don't want a high 1st round pick on a UCLA warm weather QB that just had shoulder surgery. Darnold is probably the cream of the crop in the early going, however, call me superstitious or just plain crazy, but Carson Palmer is the last USC QB that seemed to fair well in a cold weather city. Also, I like that Mason has the height and the combination of good but not great accuracy with arm capability of those left. Having said that, I like the Josh Allen pick as well based on Pro Style Offense and his size, and lastly, not on the list is University of Washington QB, was PAC-12 Offensive Player of the Year and finished 6th in Heisman voting this year, 43 TD passes this year, sophomore this last year and just 6'2" so far, but looked really promising. Looked pretty bad against Alabama, but except for Clemson, who didn't?? So, I'd keep an eye on him next year and see how it goes....

 

....don't get to see college ball due to work.....much has been made about 2018 Class being far superior to 2017.......is that still pretty much the consensus?.................

In 2012 everyone was looking at Matt Barkley, Landry Jones, and Geno Smith. EJ went #1 overall. Good job!

Maybe winning in the NFL depends on vets, coaching, and seeing the upcoming trends like 7 man zones and quick passing than getting "excited" over some rookie?

Try watching first before making uneducated comments.

Boise State's Brett Rypien is going to be the scariest young QB in the nation... BSU is going to make a case for the CFB playoff... This team COULD. GO. ALL. THE. WAY!

[DriveFor1Outta5]

Brady 2.0 ?

No. Brady has been granted special treatment by the NFL. Rosen would have to prove himself before he gets the same treatment. It will never happen since Rosen is closer to Johnny Manziel than Tom Brady. Rosen comes across as a spoiled rich kid prima donna. Brady may rub us Bills fans the wrong way, but you have to admit that he puts in a lot of work. Brady has played his entire career as if he has something to prove. Rosen doesn't seem to have those traits according to many scouts. Edited May 6, 2017 by DriveFor1Outta5

....FIRST I ever heard of that..........sure the guy is an entertainer first who appears to have done substantial homework through the years about collegians.....kudos for carving out a nice niche for himself....surviving the ESPN purge explains his value to them come draft time.......but there have been plenty of "Mel moments" through the years with the '94 Tobin spat being my favorite.....another one was his drool all over Mandarich as being a "behemoth, a man among boyz" in 1989, who ended up being the "PED Poster Boy"......gotta admit that "Brylcream look" has survived.....

You can thank Football Outsiders for the draft order. It's pretty clearly stated in the image.

I like them all. Traditional pocket passsers. We haven't had that since Bledsoe. They're definitely the top 5, I would rank then.

 

 

1. Rosen

 

2. Darnold

 

3. Allen

 

4. Falk

 

5. Rudolph

 

 

We better stay away from Mayfield (too small) and Jackson (not great from pocket).

Jackson would make a FANTASTIC Wide receiver someday... Best Athlete in college football, period....Sadly, QB for him is OUT... Not a natural position for him at all..

i don't know... it's a pretty "basic" defense
