The Jets are right to trade up to give themselves at worst the third best shot at getting the right qb.

    What if Cleveland has the same grade on three qb picks, do they have the backbone to draft a rb at number one and a qb at four knowing that have to get one of their top three qb choices? If they don't I don't think the rb falls to them at four. If they draft a qb at one the Giants will draft a rb at two. Or Denver panics and trades up for a rb or qb. If I'm Cleveland I'm taking a rb and qb if I can at four. Isn't drafting fun?
    Sorry don't agree at all.

    Luck had a high football IQ, but there is some really good looking QBS in this draft. That explains why all the teams are maneuvering around. That might explain why the Ravens are said to be in serious discussion to take a QB.

    Josh Allen might have the biggest arm to come out in last decade. Teams cant shy away from that hypothetical chance.

    Josh Rosen is said to be best pure passer.

    Mayfield has a very high accuracy rate, another thing teams look for in prospects.

    Some times a guy just hits like a 6th round Tom Brady, sometimes they bust like a Jamarcus Russell .

    Teams will always make moves for the next great QB. But every year there are swing and misses

    I think Jfoh wasnt saying these aren't good qb prospects, I think he was saying that there isn't a clear #1 guy and then the rest of the qbs. I agree with his strategy and its exactly what I would do, take Barkley 1 and take a qb at 4. By listing the qualities of the QBs as you did, I actually think you made his point for him as in there is numerous prospects that could change a teams future and you didn't even mention Darnold.

    This whole thing where people say you cant take a RB 1 I find ridiculous. If its the guy you want and that's where you pick then just take him, yes, I get the whole RB value discussion, but its ok for the Giants to take him at 2? So to me, no question am I taking Barkley 1, then worst case scenario only 2 qbs are gone when 4 comes up. Obviously this depends how high the Browns are the QBs and with their track record, maybe letting the other teams decide for them isn't such a bad idea

    None of these guys are what Andrew Luck was AIAEC.

    He was the consensus #1 basically the whole time. RGIII did enter the competition, but it was called "Suck for Luck" for a reason.

    I know a fair amount of skins fans. Back then the year they all came out, I called it. I told them all Kirk Cousins was going to be a better QB and they all laughed at me. I rubbed that shit in their face for past couple years. I knew once Shanahan was gone his career was over.
    now they whine about Cousins leaving like he did something wrong.

    I know we all want more FA action but expect us to be quiet until a marquee player get's released (Like what happened with Nelson and Crabtree). We want Wallace to sign somewhere else so he can offset Brown in the comp pick formula so we get at least a 4th back for Jensen. We will only sign released players from here on out or we'll lose that comp pick like what happened with Wagner. Ebron, Timmons, Julius Thomas are probably the only notable names on our radar right now as they have all been released.

    I feel like patience will pay off. We did good to add Crabtree/Brown and get out of that terrible Grant deal. Now it's just time to play the waiting game. There will be another Maclin type release after the draft, hopefully this time it just pans out better. We're wise to not touch our wallet until the right opportunity arises. Don't want to spend now and end up against the cap when a bigger fish comes along.

    So if the Jest (no spelling mistake there) get three for $22 mil. it's quite a bargain... Bc
    Only if at least one of them can play.

    nothing more but maybe some low cost depth moves. It's all about the draft from this point...

    I really like the idea of Cam Meredith here. We don’t have a lot of size at WR that can actually play.

    Cam is 6’3” 210-215lbs.

    I can honestly say I couldnt pick Cam Meredith out on the Bears roster. Size wise, I'd still take a chance with pryor. I cant imagine he'll bring much $ with Hurns and Snead still available
    Burn it down
