  1. I tend to cling to a single prospect in multiple areas of the draft rather than liking a bunch that will go in the same general spot. Here's the guys I liked:

     

    2010: Zac Robinson Day 2, Dan LeFevour Day 3

    2011: Cam Newton Top 5 pick, Ryan Mallett Day 2, Tyrod Early Day 3

    2012: Luck obviously, Russ Wilson Rd 2

    2013: Geno Smith Rd 1, Landry Jones Day 2

    2014: Blake Bortles Top 10, Aaron Murray Day 2

    2015: Marcus Mariota Top 5, Garrett Grayson Day 3

    2016: Jared Goff Top 5, Cardale Jones Day 2, Brandon Doughty Day 3

    2017: Deshaun Watson Mid-1st, Davis Webb Day 2, C.J. Beathard Day 3

     

    2018: Josh Rosen Top 5, Mason Rudolph Late 1st, Riley Ferguson Day 2, Mike White Early Day 3

    1)   what about Red Zone visits and TDs scored in the Red Zine? 

     

    You really don’t score going from 20 to 20 then gett stopped.  

     

    2)  does that mean Rico was good with him s play calling? 

     

     

     

    How could they be so good yet be so bad?  

    What about them? Those aren't the stats he used. Nobody said anything about our offense was good in any capacity. That doesn't change that ' just someone who can convert %60 of 3rd downs and score 24 points a game.' doesn't exist, and is a completely absurd statement.

    I'm genuinely terrified we will go for Allen because our regime is used to Cam Newton. And he's probably the QB that will be available in our range. I hope I'm wrong.

    I don't think he will be available when we pick, and I don't believe we are interested enough in him (at this point anyway) to trade up for him.

    I could have posted 5 more videos from that thread, each one showing a different flaw. His accuracy is awful. His timing is awful. His feel for pressure is awful. His mechanics are awful. His field vision is awful. But he's a human JUGS machine so 1st round guaranteed.

    Good. Someone can waste a pick on him and a better QB prospect will fall because of it.

    Who cares about what usually is the case. In his specific case that did not happen and the fact is that both have returned to play. Every case is different.  Marcus Lattimore was forced to retire from his devastating knee injury while these two are back.  Nice to know your opinion from afar. Thanks.

    I don't know that I'd call 2 passes for 0 yards and an INT returning to play.

    I still don't think it's a fair comparison.  Tyrod sat for the first what, 5 years of his career?  Bridgewater was thrown to the fire right away and played through rookie struggles.  He was trending upwards when he blew out his knee.  I don't think you can compare their stats for that reason, and they're totally different kinds of QBs.

    He was trending upwards?

    In his 2nd year he went from 224.5 YPG to 201.9 YPG, 3.5% TD% to 3.1% TD%, YPA went down slightly, sack% went up slightly, and he had the same TD total in 16 games that he hit in 13 games the previous year.

     

    Also, no matter how he was trending, he blew out his knee! Generally speaking, athletes don't ever fully recover from injuries like that, let alone improve after them.

     

    Someone earlier brought up Dalton, Flacco, and Tannehill as better comparisons. 

    Dalton threw for 3,400 yards and 20 TDs his rookie year, and then threw for 3,670 yards and 27 TDs his 2nd year.

    Flacco threw for 2,971 yards and 14 TDs his rookie year (close), but then threw for 3,600 yards and 21 TDs in his 2nd year.

    Tannehill threw for 3,294 yards and 12 TDs his rookie year, but then threw for 3,900 yards and 24 TDs in his 2nd year.

    The endless comparisons of QBs like Tyrod and Lamar Jackson and Teddy Bridgewater need to end. Being mobile and black is not the end all be all of their evaluations.

    The Tyrod & Teddy comparison isn't about skin color or mobility (Teddy doesn't come close). It's specifically about passing production, where they have incredibly similar yard numbers and Tyrod is 1% higher in TD% and 1% lower in INT%. Nothing about Teddy's production prior to his injury said he could even match Tyrod's passing production, and now he's coming off a terrible injury but people think he will be an upgrade? The odds are very much in favor of that not being the case whatsoever.

    What did the chiefs trade us last year? this years first and a 4th that year? Isnt that around the same spot we are trading from this year? If so, I always thought that a second this year is roughly the same as a first next year.

    1st, 3rd, and future 1st

     

    BUF gave up #10

    KC gave up #27, #91, and #22 the following year.

    Philadelphia sent Knees Bradford for the 14th overall pick + an additional pick this year and somehow we'll be able to pick up Smith for a 3rd or 4th?

     

    Reid lets that happen, it's time for him to go into Witness Protection & retire.

    Pretty different situations. We haven't even hit the offseason yet, Smith is on the final year of his contract, and KC has his perceived successor on the roster and a year into their system and he may supplant Smith before the season starts.

     

    Minnesota experienced a catastrophic injury to their starting QB between preseason week 4 and regular season week 1. Bradford had just signed a 2 year contract, and Wentz had yet to even take a regular season snap or prep for a regular season game.

    Understood difference between "Big Board" and "Mock" for CBS?

     

    How did this compare in previous years, any gouge?

    All of those were based on their published big boards rather than their mock drafts.

     

    Here's the QBs in the top 100 from Matt Miller's past boards, for comparison:

    2018: 5 - Rosen, 7 - Darnold, 11 - Allen, 13 - Mayfield, 38 - Rudolph, 81 - Jackson, 88 - Litton

    2017: 14 - Trubisky, 22 - Watson, 37 - Mahomes, 41 - Kizer, 64 - Webb, 81 - Peterman, 99 - Kaaya

    2016:  5 - Goff, 9 - Wentz, 38 - Lynch, 100 - Hackenberg

    2015: 1 - Winston, 11 - Mariota, 63 - Petty, 81 - Hundley

    2014: 1 - Bridgewater, 12 - Manziel, 15 - Carr, 21 - Bortles, 46 - Mettenberger, 64 - Murray, 65 - Garoppolo, 82 McCarron

    2013: 14 - Smith, 33 - Barkley, 49 - Nassib, 50 - Manuel, 76 - Wilson

    2012: 1 - Luck, 2 - RG3, 44 - Cousins, 46 - Tannehill, 50 - Weeden, 68 - Osweiler

    2011: 15 - Newton, 41 - Kaepernick, 48 - Gabbert, 66 - Taylor, 72 - Ponder

     

    So this is the first time in the last 8 years at least that there have been 4 QBs in the top 32, let alone the top 13.

    Can you educate me, Kirby?  Top 4 QB in the top 15 players per whom?  I'm not a college football maven at all.  I see Mizzou sometimes, that's it.

     

    It seems to me there are a huge number of teams needing QB this year, and that influences the projections.  

    Not necessarily all in the top 15, but:
    Matt Miller has Rosen, Darnold, Allen, and Mayfield all in the top 13 of his big board (not mock, just big board. so not projecting them up)

    Mel Kiper has Allen, Rosen, Darnold, and Mayfield all in the top 13 of his big board

    Draftek has Rosen, Rudolph, Jackson, and Darnold in their top 21

    USA Today has Rosen, Jackson, Mayfield, and Darnold in their top 20

    CBS has Rudolph, Jackson, Rosen, and Darnold in their top 21

    Walter Football has Rosen, Jackson, Darnold, and Allen in his top 32

    Smith is an upgrade ... but here's my problem .. a few seasons ago .. 2014 that is .. their WRs had ZERO TD's ... let me repeat that ... Zero TDs.

     

    "The Chiefs, eliminated from playoff contention after a Ravens win, officially finished an entire season without a WR catching a touchdown pass. 

    To put the drought into perspective, only three teams have gone through a season without a wide receiver catching a touchdown, and all of them played in a bygone era. The last team to do it was the Giants in 1964, when the Bears had the NFL's best passing offense at just over 200 yards per game."

     

    Let's not give up the farm for that recent history.

    The full streak was actually 21 consecutive games... But Tyrod doesn't throw to WRs :lol:
