Not saying I wouldn't rather him than a QB (or 2) that goes ahead of him but I don't see it....
13th to the skins at the earliest
With all the other QBs in the draft
Dude there are like 5 picks in the top 10 that could very well be a QB. Plus teams that will be wanting to move up.
He's looked at as a top 2 pick man.
Oh I know where the "experts" has had him mocked for the past 12 months.
I'm not one that says oh they say he's elite be sure that's what everyone thinks. Or that guy sucks cause that's what everyone thinks.
I also am not one to overlook how I see the off-season playing out.
Of the 4 teams in the top 10 that every says need a QB.
CLE is the only surefire team that seems almost a guarantee to go rookie QB early.
CLE gave Hue another year. They have the money to go after Kirk, the capital to go after Alex, or could give him his 1 year tryout with an AJ McCarron.
Most likely scenario rookie QB. but if Hue isnt tbeir longterm coach why select a QB a year early and not give your new coach his say. ( why I think CLE should move on from HUE this year personally.
My guess Josh Rosen
Giants
They have ELI, yes they need a successor. But it doesn't HAVE to be a top 5 pick QB that you may sit 1? 2? 3? Years
I predict they go OL then trade back into the 1st and land Jackson/Allen/Mayfield
DEN
That defense is a win now defense. John WITHOUT A DOUBT will go the vet route. They will have either Alex or Kirk in my opinion (I think buffalo gets the other)
NYJ
sorta the same situation as CLE. As far as coach and young QB. will Rhodes be around to develop the QB taken or do they go the vet route?
I think they miss out on Alex/Kirk. Settle for Bradford or Bridgewater
That leaves ARI, WASH & BUFF
ARI can go any direction. Vet like Mccown, Bridgewater/Bradford or rookie. They are oldish built to win now. Depends on new coach and Fitz.
I predict they punt and "rebuild". May move up in draft for QB. I predict they move up to top 5 go Mason Rudolph
WASH
They bring in Bridgewater. Stand pat at 13 and drafts Darnold.
Buff
They get either Alex or Kirk whoever Denver doesn't get.
That's how I see it going down. To predict all them QBs going top 10 isn't looking at the QB carasoul in its entirety.
Now obviously it depends on how much the teams like these QBs.and which ones tbey like. I'm a Rudolph guy so I have him over Allen and Darnold. (all the QBs actually but can see the Rosen argument)
So.... you just see the free agent QBs remaining free agents? How do you see things shaking out?
Edited to change Darnold to Mayfield in the giants scenario
