To me his ceiling (and it's not a guarantee he gets there) is Andy Dalton. That's not bad but in looking at this class I see a lot more upside elsewhere and I see no reason not to go for that. 2

FearLess Price Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 They schemed most of the WRs open in his offense but the kid can make a lot of throws. If we don't trade up, i could see us taking Rudolph at 21 and maybe trading down from 22 and picking up an extra 2nd rounder for it. Still on the trade up for Rosen or Mayfield bandwagon.

In fact it’s one of the things I’m drawn to about him. His yards, completion %, TDs, all went up year over year while his INTs remained static. He he won the Johnny Unitas award this year over Baker Mayfield and those who say he doesn’t have a strong arm are missing something. He does not have an elite arm, but watch his video and you’ll see long bomb throws and some tight window throws, and if you watch opposite hash to boundary throws, not all of them good admittedly, but they’re there. And, arm strength within reason can be modestly improved and is certainly nowhere near the most important trait. i would be perfectly fine with him in the 1st. he won't make it to round 2. he's prototypical size 4 yr. starter great td to int. ratio improved every year we don't give up any picks! nfn....similar scouting report to aaron rogers...

Fadingpain Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Conceptually he's a big improvement over Tyrod at the NFL level. The question is how well he can manage the mental component of being a QB; that wasn't tested in college and the meatheads running the combine don't test for it either. Can he process several channels of information quickly? I have no idea. But measuring his standing broad jump isn't going to give you the answer.
racketmaster Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 His arm is definitely the weakest of the “top 6” as we saw in throwing drills today. That is his biggest flaw and may drop him out of the first.
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Can he win from the pocket? Beanes own words/question. Which one of these guys can consistently win from the pocket throwing in a potential phone booth? just tell me and that is who I want. 1

K D Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 He looks terrible. He looked like a fish out of water trying to have proper footwork plus throw the ball quick. Horrible mechanics. He's not NFL ready and he doesn't have the arm talent to make me want to even draft him as a project

Domdab99 Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 One thing that's clear from watching the combine, is that Rudolph is one good-looking kid. Should go to Hollywood with that face.

It wasn’t intended to be causal, it was intended to demonstrate that your comment about the Unitas award not meaning anything was not representative of the whole as you seemed to dismiss the recognition on the whole. Relax....we disagree, but the point is that no person can make the argument that at the point in time any person’s opinion is definitively “right “ - we just all have our thoughts about why we believe our insight os the best.

DCOrange Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Hard to see his draft stock increasing after today. He seemed to prove himself to be a 4th or so round prospect. The guys that stood out IMO were: Josh Allen Josh Rosen Baker Mayfield Kyle Lauletta Mike White I still have faith in Lamar, but it was a mixed bag for him today. The rest looked pretty poor IMO.
