    He broke his leg his final season at Bama so it’s kind of understandable. I rewatched some of his highlights from college the other day, totally insane.

    99% of the football twitter people who spawned as a result of Bleacher Report and other similar sites are absolute clowns who tweet about landing a 5 star recruit when they propose to their girlfriend and think it's clever.

    #Cincinnati Bengals any talk about the team trading for Orlando Brown? Putting him at left tackle. Drafting Chase?

    That’d be great but I see no way the Bengals pay him and no way Baltimore would trade him within the division.

    With the depth at tackle in the draft, we might even draft Chase at 5 and then pick up a tackle in R2.

    I'm interested in where Mac goes. He seems like the guy this year that the media is over hyping without any support from teams. Seems like there is always a guy each year.

    He's a 2nd round talent that'll probably get pushed to the 1st b/c of QB demand. Some awful qbs taken late in the 1st...Tebow, Paxton Lynch, Haskins...but also some good ones like Lamar, Rodgers a while ago. I'd be fine if the WFT took him at 19, if they thought he was good enough. He just seems like Kirk Cousins. He'll peak as an Avg QB. Good enough to start, but unless you have elite surrounding talent on both sides you're ceiling is pretty low.

    Is he though? He had the best OL in CFB, the best WRs in recent history and a ridiculously good running game to take pressure off him. He seems like a tough guy to evaluate on film given all the advantages he had and if you just look at his body type and athleticism, he looks like a CFL QB

    I agree with this. He's a tough evaluation. His pro day was shit, which is pretty unusual. I don't think he's a 1st round QB and have huge concerns with taking someone who's ceiling is average. I think he's probably the best of the 2nd group of QBs. Mond sucks. Newman can't throw. Maybe the Stanford kid has some upside but he only won the starting job after injuries.

    Mac Jones story is probably more media driven than anything. I’m sure SF likes him and probably was fine with at 12 which is what gave the story legs. My guess is they traded up so they can go another direction most likely. He probably would have been there at 12..: no need to trade up.

    I don’t get paid to evaluate talent or write articles to get clicks, but late 1st to a team like The Saints seems about the right spot for Mac Jones.

    I guess another thing driving his draft stock is all the talk that next years draft QB class is garbage so teams want to get one now. Not sure how accurate that is, but seen it said a bunch

    The lead-up to the draft is entirely too long. That's why you get these horseshit narratives like "Mac Jones at 3????"

    All the QBs in this draft played with overwhelming talent around them compared to their comp. You've got the QBs from the three best programs in CFB, and then the QB from two teams that had significant talent advantages in every game they played with Wilson and Lance. Makes it tough to evaluate all of them.

    I do agree with this. NBA and NHL do it far better. The draft is a month or so after the championship is awarded.

    It's not like Lawrence, Fields, Burrow or Tua last year, etc played while surrounded by bad talent. Almost any QB in the draft from a top school is going to be surround by top end talent on the field.

    I'm not saying Mac is better than any of the others but to knock him for that seems far fetched. There are other things you can hold against him.

    Mac is a good quarterback. I just figured the physical limitations would be what keeps him in the 10-20 range rather than the top-five range. We'll see.

    The talent around him makes it harder to project how the "other things you can hold against him" will show at the next level, though. I think that's what makes him harder to evaluate compared to other QBs like Lawrence, Fields, Wilson and Lance, who also had clear talent advantages but are also clearly more physically talented and projectable than Jones.

    Burrow and Tua both had better wrs. And both had 1st round talent at RB and an offensive line consisting of nfl players.

    Phillips- betting on health
    Paye- betting on athleticism plus taking next step
    Olujari- most productive of the bunch but worst measurables
    Oweh- betting solely on athleticism

    I could see a case for any, Oweh is unimpressive but hasn’t played much football. Would put him 4th but wouldn’t be surprised if he became a beast

    Look, no. Make fun of him for being a drunk slow idiot that wore long football pants the first time he came into a game but this shit is so untrue. He had one incredibly good receiver. Waddle was injured after the 4th game and Metchie failed to show up after waddle went down. His third option was Slade Bolden. This keeps coming up and it’s just not true

    I agree with the measurables but he was an every down player for us. I think I like Parsons best overall, but Azeez is close and can play in any defense. Also *insert Isaiah Wilson shield* no known off field issues.

    Kiper's latest mock has the Dolphins trading back up to 4 for a 2nd and 3rd round pick.

    Which would mean they traded down from 3-4 plus gave up a 2nd and 3rd round pick, for a single 1st in 2023.
