Some thoughts:

- Baker Mayfield has grown on me... kid can ball.
- Watching lamar jackson, I find myself thinking "If Dak Prescott can be a solid NFL QB, why can't Jackson?"
- Still don't by the hype on Rudolph in round 1 right now.
I don't look at Dak and Jackson as similar players. Prescott can run, and he ran a lot in college, but he's not an elite athlete (4.79 40-time). Lamar Jackson is probably a 4.4 guy, which makes his running ability much more dynamic at the NFL level.

We haven't a seen a prospect like Jackson since Michael Vick.  It's been a long time.

Vince Young is probably the best dual threat in between those players.  Marcus Mariota's development as a quarterback in the NFL will do a lot for the stock of Jackson too.

I still like Guice a lot, too (though a clear tier behind Saquon at this point).

Jones II and Wadley are catching up to Guice every week, especially now that he's banged up.

This is another good year for running backs.  Hopefully we grab another one.

I don't think he meant to compare them as prospects, just that Prescott was not expected to succeed so quickly at the pro level, and how that influences his view of Jackson.

Yeah pretty much this. I dont think Dak is anywhere near the athlete (legs and arm) that Jackson is.

The key with Lamar Jackson is to have a creative offensive coaching staff to unlock his potential (and to not let him get killed). I like John Morton, but I'm not ready to say that about our staff as a whole just yet.

Darnolds pocket presence and mobility in the pocket is already at an nfl level.  Not to mention the way he throws his recievers open

I'd still take either one on this team.  I really don't think we'll have a chance at either, but we'll see how tomorrow goes.

Why you gotta freak with my emotions like this?
