Reed83HOF Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/03/06/nfl-combine-draft-notebook-results-quarterbacks Baker: “Baker threw it better than he did at the Senior Bowl,” said QB Coach A. “I was pleasantly surprised with Baker,” QB Coach B told me. “The way the ball comes out of his hand was different than I thought it’d be. His arm was stronger. He was a little bigger than I thought he’d be. He seems to want to learn. He’s got a long ways to go. But I don’t think he’s a top-five pick.” Rosen: Rosen was the sharpest of all the quarterbacks Coach A met with at the combine in terms of how quickly he processed information and adapted to new terminology during one-on-one meetings: “He was very impressive. He knows football inside and out.” Coach B concurred: “It’s not close. He’s by far the most advanced.” Rosen’s showing on the field, though, also disappointed QB Coach B. "I think he started out nervous. I think tries to play it cool but you could tell he [was unsettled] when he dirted those two slants. I’ll be shocked if he’s not on point at his pro day.” Allen: “He was really erratic at the Senior Bowl,” said QB Coach A. “When he misses, he misses big, which results in interceptions. Reminded me of [Blaine] Gabbert in that regard. He was more consistent [in Indy], but it was a much smaller sample size. Still missed a couple that were way off.” Said QB Coach B: “He has effortless power, a natural thrower of the football. You think it’ll kind of click for him at some point. He’s smooth and clean. There’s definitely something there.” Darnold: He was O.K. in our meeting with him,” said QB Coach C. “He wasn’t as far along as I thought he’d be.” The coaches were also bothered that Darnold opted not to throw against the other quarterbacks. QB Coach B: “We’d heard that he was sore [from throwing too much in the lead-up to the Combine]. You’re supposed to be this competitor but then to say, ‘Aw, it was a decision that my team made.’ That didn’t sit well.” Jackson: I’m very intrigued,” said QB Coach C. “I liked him a lot. He’s just a playmaker and I think if you get him in the right situation, he could be a real asset because of those wheels. I actually thought his footwork in his drops [Saturday] was better than I expected.” QB Coach B on Jackson: “I love the kid. We’re laughing and joking [in the meeting]. But he did not throw it well. He was very inconsistent. It didn’t come out of his hand well. He'll need to throw it a lot better at his pro day. I think he should’ve run the 40. Throw down a 4.4 to get the place to buzzin’.” QB Coach A on Jackson: “He threw it better than I anticipated.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Rosen is the best QB an the fact that he's not the first pick represents tremendous value. Trade the farm for him and be a super bowl contender in 2-3 yrs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much easier to move up to 6 - 10 than it is to move up to 1-5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
