There is a faction of folks that don't think he's got the skill set to be an NFL QB. Most folks see the raw ability, but vary in opinion regarding how much honing of his skill set it'll take to make him successful, and what type of offense he can operate efficiently. Very few people think he'll be any good. He's inaccurate and slow. Almost nobody with his stats & pedigree has ever been successful in the NFL.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: Compared to some other big boards, He’s high on Rosen and Mayfield, low on Darnold and Allen. Also high on Hurst and Sony Michel and low on Vita Vea and Tremaine Edmonds. Four RBs with 1st rd grades, plus he said nick Chubb wasn’t far off ... makes the Browns it Giants giving up a haul of high picks from the Bills vs drafting Barkley at 2 or 4 a joke. Any idea what happened to Barkley in his draft? He’s def. not herd-mind influenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 13 minutes ago, JR in Pittsburgh said: This seems so weird to me. What’s the point in grading draft picks without positional value? Seems like a totally academic exercise. Because QB is really the only position where it matters for some people and that's primarily due to the inflation of the position. So when it comes to QBs they look at positional value. I tend to agree with that approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost nobody with his stats & pedigree has ever been successful in the NFL. No offense, but everything you've said here is flat-out incorrect. He's extremely likely to be a top-10 pick. He's at or near the top of most analysts' draft boards, and that includes guys that have actually worked in NFL front offices (and been offered GM jobs) like Daniel Jeremiah. He's not slow in any respect whatsoever. He makes better tight-window throws than anyone else in the class; "inaccurate" has always been a mischaracterization. He needs to learn to adjust is touch on short boundary throws and to further refine his footwork. As for the "nobody with his stats" stuff, that's been debunked on this board many, many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you've said is laughably wrong. Dunning Kruger. First, you need to look at the difference between opinion and fact. Allen, as I said, made more tight-window throws than any other QB in the class. He cannot do that if he's inaccurate. What you're talking about is completion percentage, which is affected by far more than accuracy (but that's a whole different discussion that's probably too nuanced for someone that won't decipher opinion from fact). As for mentally slow, well, he did outscore the QB field in the Wonderlic test, so that must make Mayfield and Rosen mental midgets, right? Or are you referring to on-field processing speed? That's got far more to do with experience in a system and comfort level with the people around him, but again, we're getting way too far into subject for what you're ready to discuss. Do yourself a favor and stop now. You've said some really silly things (he's a laughingstock among the analyst community, Mayfield is everyone's QB1) that can easily be disproved with a link or two (that I'm happy to provide if you want to continue), and the further we go down this rabbit hole, the worse this has the potential to get. 4 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: I highly doubt he lasts beyond pick #3. Barring a trade, he and Darnold will be the first 2 QBs off the board IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
