“I will guarantee you right now, Baker Mayfield is going in the first round of the draft,” Schefter said. “And I will bet you he goes higher than people think. “They love his competitive spirit. They love all the skills that he brings, the flexibility that he provides. He’s drawn comparisons to Drew Brees, Russell Wilson,” Schefter said, adding that three NFL teams have told him that Mayfield is the quarterback they love. |
So predicting first round is not much of a prediction
I suspect they sit tight and take Rosen.
It amazes me how much fans yearn for a mobile QB despite the fact they get hurt so often every single year.
I watch this play and can't believe that Jackson isn't being mentioned with the other names at the top of the draft. It's all there with this guy. Link - ( New Window )
Jackson is a talent indeed. I’m not sure how closely you follow college football, but LJ is playing with an offensive guru in Petrino. His scheme creates a lot of space with guys running free free, and that makes for some pretty easy throws. So at times it’s hard to tell how much is QB and how much is system.
For me, that’s where the running of LJ becomes very important because he’s elusive and can make plays improvising. That is his biggest attribute. And it may be intriguing enough to get him into the top ten. While he got better in the pocket, that’s still far from a strength. He’s got to get much better setting his feet and stepping into the pocket. So he’s going to take some work, and will need the right environment to maximize his unique skill set. Honest to God I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pats take him, and he gets 2-3 quality years under Brady and Belichick to be the heir apparent...
