2018 Quarterbacks

[Johnny English]

I would likely despise being the #1 pick in the draft where there is a surefire guy that’s going in the top spot, as we would have nothing to talk about all offseason except whatever happens after we draft the guy.

You mean like Cleveland haven't because they're so set on taking Darnold Barkley Allen with the #1?

I did say "sure fire" guy. Like the Luck year, or last year with Myles Garrett. No intrigue.

I also think it's partially boring this year because we have no 2nd round picks so we aren't expecting any other major impact guys (especially in year one) from the rest of this draft after we get our QB.

It sounded so much more intriguing than it actually was.  Turns out this Dan Shonka guy is a freaking id-

“Anybody who doesn’t take Mayfield at the top is making a big mistake,’’ he said. “Mayfield is head and shoulders above any quarterback.’’

That Dan Shonka is one fine analyst.

ESPN New York's Rich Cimini expects the Jets to decide between Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen at the No. 3 overall pick.

Conventional pre-draft wisdom is that the Jets are zeroed in on Mayfield, but Cimini passes along "some support" for Rosen inside the organization. The Jets likely have similar grades on Mayfield, Rosen, and Sam Darnold, explaining why they were comfortable moving up to No. 3 in the draft. They'll simply take whichever quarterback falls. With Darnold expected to be drafted at No. 1 and Saquon Barkley favored to go to the Giants at No. 2, Gang Green's decision will likely come down to Mayfield-versus-Rosen.

Manish:

Maccagnan admitted that his quarterback rankings were “fairly well set” before USC quarterback Sam Darnold completed the final pre-draft quarterback visit last week. (My understanding is that the Jets did not hastily schedule Darnold at the end of the pre-draft visit window, by the way. They wanted to bring him in all along, but Darnold’s camp did not oblige because they strongly believed that he would go No. 1 overall, according to sources. When whispers grew louder that the Browns might take Josh Allen at the top of the draft, Darnold’s camp relented and agreed to a visit with the Jets).

Manish:

I find that odd, considering he took a visit to the damn Bills before us.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer believes the Browns are serious starting Tyrod Taylor in Week 1, and that Baker Mayfield will begin his career on the bench.

Cardinals coach Steve Wilks wouldn't rule out first-round QB Josh Rosen as his Week 1 stater.
Sam Bradford is the favorite, but the Cardinals plan to give Rosen a shot in training camp.
