#6 for obvious reasons.

Orlovsky makes a great point... He looks like a guy who had to play scout team QB for two years against one of the best defenses in college and had to learn how to play fast.

That's like saying water is more wet than salt.

But this guy wouldn't make me sad if we picked him. He's almost tailor made for a Shanahan offense.

Exactly! Don't care how he would fit or look with the other 31 teams. For us, he's perfect

The things I like about Jones are above the shoulders. He's got a "good enough" arm -- FAR from elite. He's obviously not particularly athletic. But he's quick in his processing. He gets through his reads quickly, he does the little things to throw off defenders (little body fakes, movements).

It's a shame they don't make QBs that have all the mental stuff AND the physical stuff. Oh, wait, they did, his name is Patrick Mahomes and we passed on him. Ugh...

But at least Jones would be able to execute well. That's why I like him, and it's why I think he'd be an upgrade over Jimmy pretty quickly.

Any one try to "connect the dots" for Mac Jones?

What does that mean?

When I watch Jones, I see a decent processor with a pedestrian arm, and I think to myself, "Why can't we have Zach Wilson?"

If he's there in the 2nd round, then they should pull the trigger...maybe.

I said he was a more mobile Peyton Manning in one of the threads. Us Polys exaggerate just a bit too much with our comps...

#2 because that's what he's going to drop on the rest of the league.

This is what I don't get from the people that are against drafting Jones. Have some of you guys not been paying attention to what Kyle Shanahan does on offense? He put up a historically good offense with Matt Ryan at QB, who doesn't have a rocket arm and isn't a good athlete. He schemes guys open and the QB literally just has to follow the script and not do dumb sh*t when the play isn't there to be made. He wants guys that are an extension of him at QB. You don't need a big arm to hit guys running open across the middle of the field or downfield with a step on the defender, you just need to be poised in the pocket and accurate, which both Ryan and Cousins were, and Mac Jones is. Jimmy is also somewhat accurate, but his biggest issues is how he panics in the pocket under pressure since the ACL, and he's just not very accurate throwing towards the sidelines or downfield, so it limits him and our offense. If Jones can simply expand Shanny's playbook with his skillset, then he's more than worth our 1st round pick. I'd even trade up to #8 if it means securing him.

Some of you are obsessing over traits that Kyle has never put much value into. It's like you want him to change up the entire offense just to fit your idea of what a QB should look like. It's the same way people go crazy for big WR's and this offense hardly ever calls plays that best utilize those guys strengths, or big slow footed OL that can't move in space. Stop trying to force fit guys into this offense when it's shown to be highly effective when Kyle gets the players he wants and injuries don't kill the season.
