Ittakestime Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Mayfield last is a joke. After the combine there is a legit top 4 and then a decent separation. Baker Darnold Rosen Allen Jackson is probably a fifth, but I wouldn't take him before late first Rudolph is now fighting for the sixth with guys like Mike White, Luke Falk and Kyle Lauletta. I personally think Rudolph offers very little in terms of skills that can make a franchise QB. I think guys like White, Falk and Lauletta actually offer more.

Nihilarian Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was very high on Allen but after reading this article I'm thinking the Bills might be better off staying put and drafting Mason Rudolph. https://sports.yahoo.com/m/158dc1d9-864a-391b-b938-d3dfddfd26fb/despite-not-being-a-huge.html and https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/3/3/17073246/mason-rudolph-draft-oklahoma-state-qb-2018 Quote "At his press conference at the league’s scouting combine on Friday, a reporter asked Rudolph how he’d answer the criticism that he’d only faced “statues in the secondary” in a lightly defended conference. Rudolph was blunt about it. “Well,” he started, “we played Colorado, Washington, and Virginia Tech, and we beat the crap out of all of them in [bowl games]. Those aren’t Big 12 defenses, and we played pretty well against those guys. So you throw on that tape, and I think that’ll kill that argument right there.” Starting to really like Rudolph.

Rudolph in the 1st round is a no go for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How anyone can have Allen ahead of Mayfield is beyond me. I honestly would not take Allen before the 3rd rd. Reminds me so much of Kyle Boller. Strong arm, but not very accurate and his football IQ was questionable. But the Ravens took him in the 1st after they took Suggs. They gave up a first in the next year's draft to trade back up for him and Newsome has never done that again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to make a big deal about because he is 13 days older than me and my favorite player ever, other than Jack Kemp. But a several years ago a TBD employee told me that when Jim showed up he was always wanting something and a few people joking would try to guess what he would be taking home next. This was early 2000's just saying he wasn't the most popular ex-Bill. No biggie--- long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBs usually always get drafted earlier than they should and if you read the article it looks like the Steelers are very interested in Rudolph. Plus, they already have Landry Jones on the roster. Remember the last time the Steelers beat out the Buffalo Bills on a QB and who Buffalo eventually ended up with? Besides, he is listed as tied for fifth in Mike Mayock's top 5 QB's and that other fifth is Jackson. Most mock drafts have both those guys going in the first round considering that there are at the least seven teams with a desperate need for an upgrade at QB There could be as many as 12 teams looking to draft QBs early this year and this year could surpass 1983 as the best QB class ever.

I posted earlier that QBs are often overdrafted. The result all too often isn't a good one as evidenced by past Bills' selections like Losman and Manuel with others teams making the same mistakes on guys like Lynch and Hackenberg. I can't see this class coming close to matching 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of strong characters creating a caldron full of volatility.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I see Mason Rudolph as having maxed out in college by the system he played in and has a low ceiling. I just think his arm is kinda meh for a first round projection. Not saying he shouldn't be drafted...but not in the Top 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
