At the end of the day this will be a two qb draft Rosen and Darnold.   Mason Rudolph might be a solid qb but more of the Tannyhill type that you are always thinking about upgrading from .   Jackson to me is a true wild card , so much talent can it translate into playing the position .   Baker has always been over rated in my eyes. It is rare of a qb of his size to make it.  I keep looking at Chase daniels stats and highlights and I don't see a ton of difference.

Yolo, no reason for anyone to believe me, but honestly, in the lead up to the draft I was thinking that I would have taken Wentz first overall if I were the Rams.

 

...this news is a little disturbing as I respect Mayock a bit.

Disturbing? We aren't in a position to get a Carson Wentz prospect. There are still 1st round QBs in this draft.

Wentz has seemed to turn out great, but I think we should let this play out a bit before we make him the standard.  Granted he had a great year, but it ended just like his last year of college did, with injury.  Three years from now we may be talking about him as someone who couldnt stay on the field.

 

His tape was a lot of fun to watch but there were major questions on the guy, specifically he had one full year of starting and while he was a winner he wasnt overly productive against FCS level competition. 

 

I agree there probably isn't a player who has all the tools Wentz has, but it's way too early to say none of the quarterbacks in this class wont be as productive as Wentz at the next level.

I'm really coming around to this, but the point has been made, could we trust McDermott to develop him properly?

I don't think they'll take him, but my guess is that he is the sort of qb Daboll can work with.

Saying that none of them are in the top 5 big board isn't really that much of a stretch to be honest. For example, Mel Kiper and Lance Zierlein each only have one QB in the Top 5 (both of them have their #1 QB at #5).

 

Barkley and Quenton Nelson are probably the top 2 on most big boards. Minkah Fitzpatrick and Bradley Chubb seem to be locked in for most as well. I would expect most big boards will have 0 or 1 QBs in the top 5 with the exception of McShay. Not having a QB in his top 5 doesn't mean he doesn't think they're a great prospect.

as raw as he maybe he would be an upgrade from Taylor from day 1.  

 

Oh really? How? I thought his M.O. was to take off and run?

Mayock and Kiper have been wrong more than right- I tend to tune them out.

 

 

The draft is unpredictable, but most of these top draft guys go by what they hear. So it's probably accurate as of today that there are no elite prospects. 

 

Wentz was a late riser on many boards, but rumors started floating around that he was being compared to Andrew Luck.

Prototypical size, very good arm strength, excellent athlete who makes plays with his legs, intelligent, reads defenses, throws with timing and anticipation, can make plays outside of structure. 

 

He is all those things. 

 

But I find there's a bit of revisionist history when discussing his draft stock a couple years back.  Seems many now had him pegged as a can't miss prospect.  I seem to remember him having multiple question marks when coming out.

Its rare for a QB of any size to "make it."    I would also argue that Mayfield is better in every statistical category than Daniels, who you're making a comparison to strictly based on height.   Most glaringly Daniels threw a very high rate of Interceptions, this wasnt the case for Mayfield.

Mayock was his biggest proponent.

mcd might think he's at least better than tyrod. the thing is they need to keep trying if jackson isn't the guy.  he can turn out to be pretty good but also easy to move on. 

 

I know this may sound nuts but what if Beane offered Tre White and 21 for the 3 pick or 2 pick?  White is easily our best asset i'd think right now and has a high value. It would suck losing him but if we can get a franchise qb it should be considered.

The Bills scouted him quite a bit during his final season in college, but the buzz became too big for them to have a shot at him.

Lamar actually doesn't scramble very often. In the Petrino offense, it's basically either a read-option or he'll sit back in the pocket and attempt a pass.
