He’s team is awful

Big very athletic and huge arm

Risky ? Yep

Every team wants athletic now.. 6’5 230

Sound familiar

Here is the order McShay has the quarterbacks going in his mock draft.

1: Sam Darnold - Cleveland Browns

2: Josh Rosen - New York Giants

5: Josh Allen - Denver Broncos

19: Baker Mayfield - Los Angeles Chargers

I don’t see Allen going to Denver
Reminds me of Paxton Lynch, and John Elway probably won’t want to draft another one

[TWard]

Well, here’s my first mock draft of the year:

Looks good Ward. I love Barkley, but I don't see Kyle wanting a rb. I bet he is content with Breida and Williams at the position for the time being. My guess is they move back to get a lineman or Ridley. If they stay put it will be Minkah, Derwin, or Bradley.

Yeah I’ve thought the same thing. But part of me just thinks that Lynch and Shanahan won’t pass up the opportunity to pair Barkley with Garoppolo and try to create a special offense.

Also wouldn’t shock me if they trade down to acquire more picks and like you said, take someone like Ridley and worry about RB in the later rounds.

Looks good bar one thing -
* no way Arden Key goes as low as 14. Indy, San Fran or Tampa will take him in the top 10

Only reason i have him that low is some teams may be weary of his off the field issues but i would still be really surprised if he falls out of the top ten.

[bballcollector]

The Rams need to add CB or OL. If not maybe Harold Landry. Favorite defensive player in the draft.

[bballcollector]

IMO Baker Mayfield is the top QB. I don’t even think it’s close.

[packman80]

So with the loss today are the Browns officially on the clock?

Guy walks on twice after nobody wanted him, ends up winning every major award and tops it off with a heisman trophy

let him fall to the bottom part of the first round or later.... see if he won't have that same chip on his shoudler

i think mayfield will be an all pro at the nfl level at some point during his career

Love baker but he is high risk...think the steelers could take him end of 1st depending on how they feel about dobbs or early 2nd

baker mayfield is johnny manziel 2.0

Best thing that could happen to Mayfield is he falls to the end of the first or second round. He loves playing with a chip on his shoulder/as an underdog. Watch he will end up with the Patriots

THIS. I understand that scouts are all about "Pro Style Quarterbacks," but I spend my Saturdays watching these guys play and I don't understand the thinking sometimes. I watched Trubisky, Mahomes, and Watson play A LOT last year. How is Watson not the #1 QB taken? Same this year, I've watched Darnold, Rosen, Allen, and Mayfield play a lot this year. How is Mayfield gonna be probably the 4th QB taken? I could be completely wrong this year but I was right about Watson, at least what we were able to see this year.

FWIW, I'm not an Oklahoma or Mayfield fan.

You're right, Petty has looked awesome.

Im not defending our QBs by any means.

I'm jsut not a fan of Allen at all.

I'm hoping either Cousins, Bridgewater or maybe Bortles shakes loose or they trade up for Darnold or Rosen. The only other QB i'm interested in is Mayfield, but if they could trade back in to Round 1 to get him, or get him in Round 2.

Wait a little bit and watch Allen at the combine. He absolutely has ZERO talent around him, has an awesome arm, and is cold weather tested. Not to mention he is a monster and an amazing athlete. I bet whomever drafts him will be happy they did.

And we haven't even seen the almighty HACK yet!!

[TheFrenzy]

Maybe I've just watched Rosen in his worst games, but I think he's prone to making absolutely horrible decisions with his throws. He's going to need to solid coaching. If he can make better decisions, he's my fav QB in the draft.

I agree with everything but the last sentence.

Physically perhaps but his mental makeup seems stronger than Money Manziel.

Saw one mock today that had the Jets taking Lamar Jackson at 10

His size is a problem for sure.....

But he can really throw the ball though.. Manziel arm was awful imo

Still a huge risk.. should be 2-3 round

I honestly can’t even see Lamar Jackson being an NFL QB, much less a QB taken in the first round. If a team does that, they’re making a huge mistake. The first time he gets hit by a 6’3”, 350 lb DT, he’s gonna get the crap knocked out of him.
