jrober38 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Going back to its inception in 2004, the following QBs have posted a College Total QBR of 90 or higher: Pat White (almost entirely for his running ability) Sam Bradford Andrew Luck Cam Newton Russell Wilson Johnny Manziel Jameis Winston Marcus Mariota Baker Mayfield (the only player to do it twice) With the obvious exceptions, that seems like pretty good company to keep, and is a pretty solid predictor of NFL success considering that 6 of the 8 guys who have done it have made pretty good NFL QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 If you step back from the preseason hype of Darnold and Rosen it's easy to like Mayfield. Outside of his height he doesn't have any real concerns for me. Rosen has the attitude and concussions. Darnold looks like a damn robot with small hands. I'm coming around on Mayfield. He moves enough, throws with anticipation better than Darnold, fiery, NFL arm, haven't heard he is stupid in the classroom yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Josh Allen Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I Love Mayfield I think he will be the best of this draft class. But Bean is on Record saying he wants a pocket QB that can get it done even if teams know he is in a must throw end of the game drive. So with that being said I think the Bills target is Josh Allen. This guy is a beast. He looks like Rothlesburger on steroids. My 3 favorite QB’s in this draft are Josh Allen, Mayfield and Jackson. I will be happy with any of those guys.

I heard Colin Cowherd today on his radio show do a top 10 trade for the 49ers at #9 with Buffalo so we could move up. He had us draft Allen... which I would be disgusted with and I really really don't think or want to happen. But if we did that and drafted Mayfield... super stoked!!! And I just bothered looking at Jimmy Johnson's draft chart... I think they would trade back to us for both our firsts since the 9th pick is worth 1350 and the 21st and 22nd picks are worth 1580. You can argue that's overpaying, but considering we'd still have 2 2nd rounders, 2 5th rounders and a 3rd and 4th round pick, I'd do it if we could ensure landing Mayfield.

People here have been doing this ever since Beane got here as an argument for the next QB we draft. Beane may have said that nearly a year ago, but people change their minds.

Buffalo BillsWhere they pick in Round 1: Nos. 21 and 22Key player: Brandon Beane, general managerI could see head coach Sean McDermott falling in love with Mayfield’s origin story—the two-time walk-on who won the Heisman. New offensive coordinator Brian Daboll oversaw a run-heavy offense as Alabama’s coordinator last year but has a great deal of familiarity with the offensive concepts employed at Oklahoma and across the college football landscape. In McDermott’s first year in Buffalo’s war room, they demonstrated a willingness to deal picks at any juncture, in any direction, moving back 17 picks in the first round, then moving up seven picks in the second round to draft wide receiver Zay Jones, and moving up 12 picks into the bottom of the second round to select offensive lineman Dion Dawkins. If they’re kicking themselves for not using last year’s 10th overall pick (traded to Kansas City) on Patrick Mahomes, they can use the capital acquired in that deal to trade up and draft another former Texas Tech quarterback in Mayfield. Tyrod Taylor said in January the team has yet to inform him of his status going into 2018, but it’s safe to assume they’re in the market for a replacement after benching him for Nathan Peterman at one point last season.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) The most interesting man in the (draft) world: Combine confidential: Baker Mayfield is one of the more intriguing players in this draft class -- and the most polarizing quarterback. As the combine was concluding, I asked a head coach for his biggest overall takeaway. He spotlighted Mayfield, saying he liked him the most on the field ... and the least off of it. Another head coach, whose team interviewed Mayfield, rolled his eyes and described the quarterback: "Cocky. Over-the-top cocky." That feeling wasn't universal. "I love his fire," said a third head man, indicating that Mayfield shows the kind of emotion usually associated with leaders on the defensive side of the ball. A fourth head coach considered Mayfield a winner who shows toughness and natural leadership. And finally, a fifth head coach said he has "no issues" with Mayfield "because the football speaks for itself." http://www.nfl.com/m/share?p=%2Fvideos%2Fnfl-combine%2F0ap3000000919180%2FCombine-Whiteboard-Baker-Mayfield-gets-personal-with-Steve-Mariucci side note: Rosen passes speed-dating test: On Thursday, Josh Rosen told reporters that he wanted everyone at the combine to leave Indy understanding how much he loves football and that he plays for his teammates. On the same day, a head coach (who likes Mayfield) said he needed to do more work on Rosen. "You want to work with somebody you can work with," he said. "You don't want to have friction all the time." A GM wondered, "Is he likable?" I got the feeling Rosen helped himself in Indianapolis. "I liked him," one evaluator told me. Another said, "Really good interview. Really good. Engaging. He made us laugh." That's a plus during those 15-minute, speed-dating combine interviews. QB class defined by Qs: One evaluator -- whose team does not need a quarterback -- offered a succinct view of the QBs: "It feels like there's a lot of risk in this class." In case you were wondering ... While evaluators wanted Sam Darnold to throw and Lamar Jackson to run in Indy, no one seemed overly bothered by either opt-out decision. "I just don't understand why [Darnold] isn't throwing," one GM did say. "I don't freak out about that stuff," another GM told me. "We'll see them at their pro day." So, we'll move on.

greeneblitz Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) He's not the top QB like Darnold, he's not a idiot like Rosen, he's doesn't have the strongest arm in a decade like Allen and he isn't a controversial questionable QB /WR like Jackson, he should be our pick, no doubt in my mind, however we may not be able to get far enough up to get him.

Doc Brown Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) Rosen or Mayfield are the only two that would be worth trading up for imo. Rosen is my first choice as I feel like I'm watching Eli Manning the UCLA games I saw this year. Just a polished, accurate passer with a high football IQ. Unfortunately, I think Eli will be Rosen's mentor despite some reports out of New York they may pass on a QB.

He only dropped because of his height, if you watched him play you knew he was going to be a good QB. I remember being at a Mustangs game watching Jimmy G and just being blown away. Derek Carr is another QB that I wanted in the 1st rd, I would say that all 3 of the QB's that I mentioned are better than any of the QB's in this draft. I would say there is a very good chance Mayfield, Allen and Rudolph could be there when we pick at 21. I believe you might have been the only one that wanted him in round 1.

Mat68 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 A month ago I was highest on Allen. Now I am ok with any of the top 5. To me I would rank it. Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Mayfiled and Jackson. Rosen to me looks like a young Eli or Matt Ryan. I dont think he will blow people away in shorts but week 1 he will have the ability to have the most success. I like Darnold and Allen for their size and arm strength. Both have the potential to be big Ben. My biggest concern with Mayfiled is maturity and readiness to be a starting qb in the NFL. If Buffalo was a warmer city or they are building a dome I would rank Mayfiled higher. Jackson intrigues me alot and he is much better passer than he gets credit being. Ironiclly, I could see him slide end up on a good team and win rookie of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
