That PFF breakdown of the positions was good thanks.

This is a little early but Bleed do you see any guys that look like might be undrafted guys you would put a priority on getting?

I got to say I don't like Rosen or Darnold. Both busts.

I honestly haven't looked at the QBs much or this draft in general but yeah. Are there QBs you think will be good?

I like Mayfield and Jackson some. Jackson scares me with his size and running. He could be an injury prone player. But I really like Mayfield the best out of all QB's.

I think Allen is a bust as well. I would steer clear of all 3. Mayfield would be my number 1 QB. People just seem to completely ignore accuracy from QB prospects and always blame the receivers for low completion numbers, but when you watch a guy like Darnold, he's just not accurate with the ball enough. He has some dimes for sure and everyone is a sucker for a good spiral, but he just missed so many easy throws. He also regressed this year from 67% to 63%. That's never a good sign. Allen was at 56%. Rosen is decent at 63%, but with him I just didn't see a ton of improvement from his freshmen campaign. He was almost the same guy last year as he was when he was a freshman. Mayfield was 68, 70, 70 for the last 3 years. That's who I would go for.

I like Mayfield too. I am not ready to call the other guys a bust, but like Mayfield the best of the bunch.

I thought this was interesting.

If I had to pick between the top 3 I would pick Rosen and just hope the leadership questions don't become a problem. That's really my biggest flag with him. He doesn't seem to have the attitude of a guy that other guys will want to play for which means he's gotta be just that good for them to look past it. I think a slow start could kill Rosen with his teammates though. He is the most consistent of the 3 though and he was solid, just not great in college.

Good stuff on the QBs. Does anyone have a sleeper QB that isn't a guy that will probably be picked in the first couple rounds but you would Think a team will be happy they took a flyer on at some point?

I don't normally look too far into it. The one name that popped out to me was Mike White with Western Kentucky. He's put up numbers the last two years. 6-4 225. Single digit picks all 4 years. It looks like his line tanked last year though going from only 18 sacks in 2016 when he put up bonker stats (67.3%, 4300 yards, 37/7 TD/INT, 10.49 YPA) to 44 sacks last year. That's a lot in 14 games. Former pitcher. He's projected as a 3rd round guy right now. I think he could be a player if he gets behind a good line. Looks like he needs to work on the mental stuff a bit so ideally if he could get behind someone and watch for a year or two that would help a lot.
