Man the mechanics on Mac Jones are so freaking beautiful it's hard not to love the QB. Dude flicked that. I really don't see issues with arm strength or velocity and still believe that especially after NFL strength and conditioning, it will not be an issue at all.

100% agreed.

I get that he's not a runner but man, plenty of great quarterbacks that aren't. Mobile or not, if your line sucks, you're screwed. Even Mahomes couldn't overcome a terrible line. That was almost as bad as when Beathard lost every lineman against the eagles top ranked pass rush in 2017.

Yes! This is it for Jimmy so solidify the line and the rest of the roster (develop a QB like Mills). If we still have a QB issue by this time next year, by all means go all in on Strong.. and sign Brady for a year
I'm not putting Mac down, and I don't need to as he's my QB5, even though I would still consider drafting him.

Many have been pumping up his processing, which is really good, however which other QB has had a chance to sit and learn behind very good QB's, whilst running an NFL offense, with NFL level coaching and NFL talent?

Fields is the closest, and it isn't close.

I believe the other QB's can grow significantly with better coaching, and they all blow him out of the water as Playmakers.

Mac is probably the safest QB outside of Trevor, but who wants safe?

Let's put those nuts on the line.

They way thing go with QBs, if Carson Strong is as good as described won't he eventually rise in the top 5-10?

If Jimmy g is as bad as advertised and Davis Mills doesnt show promise, that's where we're picking anyway (or within trade up range, same as this year)
SF got some dudes at Lawrence's pro-day...not a single other Clemson prospect there.

So you're telling me there.....nah lol
Every year people drool over the life changing can't miss Top 2-3 quarterbacks in the draft every year. Let me remind everyone that Jared Goff/Carson Wentz were Top 2 in their class, and Jameis Winston/Marcus Mariota were Top 2 in theirs. In 5 years, all four are barely in the NFL and could all be gone in two…

I'm not saying never draft a Qb in the 1st round ever again but what I'm saying is pretty much all these qbs have there flaws and history tells us that it's very difficult to hit on these qbs that's why Kyle shanahan doesn't trust a young Qb to learn his system and he would rather have a proven guy.
Looks like another team in the top 10 needs a QB.

Agree and good point, but Jimmy wasn't exactly a proven commodity either. I think when the trade occurred, he had two NFL games to his name. Not much to go on, for a 2nd round pick if you ask me. Still, it's better than nothing like all these young rookie QB's who haven't played a game in the NFL yet.

I think Kyle has a *type* of QB he likes to run his system. I think he prefers a pocket QB like a Jimmy, or a Brady vs a more mobile QB like a RG3 or Mahomes. Somebody who has a quick release and is accurate in the mid range passing game. Any of these potential NFL draftees match that kind of profile?
