Seriously though, Mac Jones is polished as a QB can be in terms of technique, compact delivery, and recognition.

He would QB1 in the 2006 draft. And both of those 1st rounders turned out solid.

I don't think many people would argue about your first statement. The real question is whether, in 2021, that is enough to be drafted as the #3 overall pick. The game has changed and if you have listened to Kyle's interviews, it seems clear that he understands that.

We will see if he goes with his heart or his head.

Sweet baby Jesus I hope he's evolved as a evaluator and understands what QBs are needed in this league and who's constantly beating him

I think coach will go with the QB who's a better pocket passer, better taking snaps under center, a great leader and is football all day every day.

I think of it more by the numbers. The odds of all 5 2021 QBs making an impact in the NFL is extremely low. Wilson may just be fluff and pretty dressing. Lawrence may have peaked already. Lance may be too inexperienced, Jones may not have enough arm strength, and Fields may be athletic to a fault.

But the odds of 2 of these guys making an impact is very good.

We don't see QB's that range this much of the QB positional traits spectrum in a 5 year span. We are getting just about the full QB spectrum at each of the positional traits highest level in the first 5 QBs this year.

I'd say the chances that all 5 become legit NFLers is zero. Which means some team(s) are going to be drafting a straight up bust. Please not the 49ers. Although whichever QB gets drafted by SF has by far the best environment to succeed in. If I was Lawrence I would consider making a video of myself in a bong mask hoping I drop to #3 .

Your hatred for this kid is getting a little absurd.
He comes off as an entitled little brat...DUI, playing tennis with daddy, running around giggling on a pro day goofing around when he misses throws.

I don't hate him, I'm sure he's fun at frat parties. I don't want him as the QB of my team.

If he was entitled, he would have left Bama to go to Baylor and start. Nah, he stuck around and learned from high end prospects and practiced vs the best.

Wanna talk entitled, I think Jamie Newman is entitled.

100%. That's why I'm not killing myself over which QB they draft.

Not everyone comes from the same household either...not everyone has a family of lawyers and pro tennis players. No everyone gets to go to QB camps all their life. Some of these dudes HAVE to play now and get into the NFL just to help with their families.

Just a guess. I feel he would have been better than Brewer.

Agreed there, but I don't see the "entitled brat" thing. Sure, he got a DUI a few years back. Definitely a flag in my book, still, but not going to crucify him for it, especially since it's been reported on how he turned things around after that incident. Someone that's an entitled brat doesnt go to the film room at midnight to study or call his coaches at 2am to ask questions about certain plays he struggled in.

Too lazy to research givien my disinterest in him @ where we're picking. (If we were picking 17th or so,....I'd perhaps change my tune)
But can you give us the run-down on how he turned things around,...aside from Bama steamrolling over everyone in a pandemic year?
