With that said, they spent all this time and effort comparing and ranking these propects and your top three statistical comparisons for Mayfield, Rudolph and Lamar Jackson are RGIII, Teddy Bridegwater and Eli Manning.
As part of the equation. Full disclosure, I like Mayfield and think Allen is Paxton Lynch, it certainly supports my narrative. I don't know who the Giants take. I can't even predict. This a pressure filled pick at 2, not sure I would want to make it. I have not been high on Jackson, but I am starting to come around. RPO with Jackson,Barkley,Engram and Beckham would be fuckload of speed to account for.
The experts who evaluate talent for a living have Darnold,Rosen,and Allen,1,2,3 and the other quarterbacks behind them. The position and its collegiate statistics go way beyond the numbers in that article. Mayfield may be #1 in that article but he is most likely going to be the 4th quarterback chosen in the draft. Also,let's not forget that Darnold and Rosen haven't even turned 21 years old yet.

What a colossal waste of bandwith.
Bingo. And add that college players play with wildly different supporting casts which can vary from year to year, the don't play common opponents and don't each play the same style of offense. A waste of bandwith.
but, I hate statistical analysis that doesn't account for level of competition and offensive style. The Big 12 plays no defense and Oklahoma and OK St. run spread offenses where QBs put up video game stats. There needs to be an adjustment for this.

Agreed. Darnold was also sacked 9 times in 2016, but 26 times in 2017. That could easily explain a decline in his performance last season. And I'm not a big fan of him at #2.
RE: Excellent read. Would Mason Rudolph be available in the second? Â
Grab Barkley in the first? Wow. Is this a winning combo for now and future? Very interesting read.
I've been adamantly against drafting a RB at 2 but if we do, for the sake of conversation, if we pass on a QB at 2 I think we should skip on one early all together. That's no knock on Mason Rudolph, I just don't see much of a difference in him and developing Davis Webb.
Plus at some point early we will have to get a lineman and I do believe there will be some good value there at the end of the 1st/top of the 2nd.
Statistics is a very powerful branch of mathematics. It has been Â
around for a lot longer than football has been around. Statisticians are even smarter than the gym teachers who coach football. If it were possible to base a draft choice on statistics rather than on the judgment of football experts (human beings) it would have been done a long time ago.
To put it another way: statistics are superb at explaining the past, but not very reliable at predicting the future.

If you pick the 7th ranked QB because you don’t like the other 6, you go from 50/50 to about 1/100 odds.

Like Marty said, stats cannot predict the future but it's one of many tools to evaluate a QB.
