Our pick value just went up 😀
Yeah, I like him too. Time will tell if I'm right. I saw Darnold and Rosen for about 5 minutes each this year; unfortunately, in my channel surfing I managed to catch the two stupidest interceptions I saw this year. Josh Allen has to learn to hit the broad side of a barn. Lamar Jackson, who I like a lot, reminds me of Deshawn Watson - Lamar didn't play on a great team (he was the great team) but he can sure light it up, a can't miss with a limited ceiling.
Mayfield just strikes me as "height challenged". A caller from England (!) on the Rich Eisen show suggested that the Saints (!) make a mega-draft day deal to get him to sit behind Brees and learn how to be a "short" QB in the NFL. Awesome idea for the Saints if they could manage it.
The Vikes may not challenge Teddy Roosewater's medical status and may make him a FA, ready to let loose. Rumors are that they will go after Cousins with the Brinks caravan.
Lots of things could impact our pick.

With our pick 9 or 10?, I've got to take a meh attitude. How many times has a team gotten their "oh well" pick this high and he turned out to be gold. Let's say it comes down to Roquan Smith or Trumaine Johnson. We get the Raiders' leftovers. They were both terrific college players. They could both be perennial Pro-Bowlers or both be bums (doubtful). Either one would make me happy and I'll sit back and see how their careers work out.
