In 2003, Eli was a clear cut number 1 pick alongside Big Ben & Rivers who were considered big time QB prospects. Granted, a ton of football & player evaluations still need to be done.
I dont think Darnold is ready.
I liked what I saw from Rosen, but we all hear about the off the field issues & I do worry that he is dependent on an above average offensive line.
Mayfield has completely turned me off with his maturity issues- running from cops & grabbing his crotch? I dont give him the keys to the franchise. Just look at what Eli has been & what Wentz is going. I expect the QB to be mature.
I havent seen enough Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen.
I think we will be top 5 & Id like to come away with a franchise changing player. Maybe that player is Saquan Barkley.
Can he salvage an offense with a below par offensive line?
competitiveness is in question

Yeah, they way he laid down against Texas A&M was disappointing.
p.s.--I think he would benefit from riding the bench for a year or two and packing on some muscle from an NFL weightlifting program in the meantime. He's 6'4" 215lbs at age 20 so it's reasonable to believe he could naturally add 10 pounds to that frame without it effecting his mechanics.

Eli was about the same size I believe
But you're asking the wrong question.
It should be, is there anyone here who will be able to accurately predict which one (or ones) are that guy?
Are we really going to draft another QB? I'd rather get a stud O line or trench player. (I don't follow CFB thou so I have no idea who's out there.)
Very true. And you might get lucky and get a Tom Brady in a late round.
Its probably worthwhile to see a pile of rankings by various people. Then the combine moves people around. Maybe more than it should at times.
Yeah, I'm of this mindset too. Barkley, a top G or T, or even a top DB or LB. Then pick whoever slips in the 2nd. We may get a guy like Allen, Jackson, or the OK St kid. Some people think these guys are the best QB's anyway. Opinions are all over.

Aren't we out of the running for Saquan now that we're firmly at #3?

of drafting Saquan or an offensive lineman, and then taking a QB in the 2nd/3rd round to compete with Webb. Obviously not to force a pick, but sticking to the board. But, these first round QBs are far from locks and could potentially really set the franchise back.

Not really. A team above us could take Nelson, Key, Chubb, James, Fitzpatrick, etc
And that will essentially mean nearly every team will need to consider drafting a QB in one of the three rounds this year.
