Sharp1128 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) I just listened to this kids interview and he seems to have a knack for addressing the media and a chip on his shoulder. Comes across as a real pro. 6'4" 1/2 237lbs, God Arm, Accurate, and may be there in Round 2. I know he comes from a spread system and the Big 12, but I would be on board with bringing in a vet and taking Rudolf & James Washington in Round 2. Use the 2 1st rounders to build up the front 7 instead of giving up a ton for one of the big 4. There is no Peyton Manning, Carson Wentz, or Andrew Luck in this draft. I am including the link to the interview, but pay attention to the look and body language at the 6:42 mark when asked about the Bills. I believe that Beane was at Oklahoma State 2x this year scouting him.

Victory Formation Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I like him. I'd go as far to say that under the right scenario I'd take him at 21. I understand he is slotted as a RD2 guy, but I think he can be a good pro. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp1128 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think he wouldn't make it past the Pats in all honesty. I am excited to see him at the combine tomorrow in comparison to the big 4 qbs, how does he stack up? There is always someone that becomes a riser after the combine, you may have to take him at 21 if he has a good performance and pro day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 He doesn't have a strong arm, which unfortunately is a need in BUF because of the field conditions and he comes from a spread offense where he wasn't required to go through progressions. I'd prefer someone who has a strong arm and has already spent years doing the things required of him at this level rather than trying to learn them on the fly.

I'm not as high on Rudolph after looking more closely at his games and considering the lack of good defenses he faced in the Big 12 Conference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same could be said about Allen and (Mayfield?). I'm not a pro scout, I am not a college guru and I am far from an expert, but Rudolph comes from an offense where the ball was constantly in his hands, he is also very accurate. I've liked Rudolph for a long time, it wouldn't upset me if he was the guy, let me put it that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's okay, but nothing makes me say wow about him and he's really not a guy who's going to make something happen when plays break down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, but he is malleable, he can throw the ball. Allen and Jackson both have accuracy issues, but they get a free pass. Rudolph is one of the most accurate throwers in the draft and he is smart, he knows where to go with the ball. Allen and Jackson have big arms, but they don't know where to go with the ball. Rudolph is very accurate and smart, while he won't wow you away with arm talent, he can get it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 You might be onto something here. This guy has Beane / McDermott written all over him. He's their kind of guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's okay, but he's last among the so called big six that most are talking about these days. I believe he greatly benefited from the talent surrounding him as well as from weaker defenses in the Big 12. Hasn't really grown his game while at Oklahoma State.

Allen and Jackson are above him because of their ceiling IMO. Rudolph has a lower floor. But Allen and Jackson were both completing less than 60% (56% and 59%), Rudolph completed 63% and every year at Oklahoma St. his accuracy improved.

billspro Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Very impressive interview. The kid has the personality of a franchise QB for sure. 14 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: He's okay, but he's last among the so called big six that most are talking about these days.

I would put him ahead of Allen and Jackson at this point, his game is much more developed. He was also a much better player as a senior compared to his Junior season so I would have to disagree. My only concerns with him are arm strength and mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just okay to my eye and that doesn't translate to a 1st round slection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freester Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Many draft pundits compare him to Bryce Petty who came from a similar offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accuracy issues almost never improve at the NFL level. I think Rudolph is a very similar prospect to Teddy Bridgewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater is a better short to intermediate passer while Rudolph is a better deep passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
