Fer reals: An amateur all-star game suits his coaching ability.
Gone where? Indy replacing Luck? The Giants replacing Eli? Houston replacing Watson? Cleveland dooming yet another talented rookie QB is as plausible as ever, but unless someone else trades up into the #2-4 slot, it's not plausible ANY two QBs are gone by #5. I'm not saying Elway WILL take a top QB prospect—but he easily could.

Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. —Jaded

NY has to take a guy. Not to replace Eli but just in case they need to. Sooner rather than later they HAVE to regardless.

You realize Eli is almost 40, right? It's entirely plausible they draft his successor in the top 5. As for Cleveland, it's the browns, you can always count on them to do something dumb. I agree the colts are a longshot to pick a QB, but that luck injury is still a mystery. Maybe if they know something about his arm that we don't, a QB isn't off the table for them either.

Eli's not young, but Brees is older and people are STILL saying we should pay him $20M+/yr if the Saints no longer will. Meanwhile, in NY, Eli's far from the Giants' biggest problem, so drafting their next starting QB before addressing some of the others leaves them with Andrew Luck in the best case, Paxton Lynch in the worst. Remember how everyone agreed Bortles SUCKED forever until the Jags put a team around him?
If the Best Athlete Left when the at #2 is a QB, the Giants should take him: You don't pass on the Von Millers of the world just because "we have to fill our need at x." If you didn't have more gaping holes than draft picks you wouldn't be drafting #2 overall: Either take the potential HoFer you can build your team around or (if you somehow DO have a potential HoFer there already) trade the pick to someone else for multiple decent players/picks to fill multiple holes.
That's also why NY should NOT take a QB at #2 UNLESS he's the Best Athlete Left. Statistically, first round QBs are twice as likely to succeed as second rounders—but ALL first rounders have EQUAL yet SMALL odds of success. For example, 2005s #1 overall pick was Alex Smith and it's #24 overall pick Aaron Rodgers: Which would you prefer? I mean, I still like Alex Smith, but Rodgers is the best QB in the league, and has been for a while. The year after, Vince Young went #3, Matt Leinart #10 and Cutler #11; Broncos fans may loathe Cutler, but he's still doing better than VY or Leinart EVER did. I could go on (as ya'll surely recall) but the point should be clear.

Am I the only guy here who likes Mayfield? I'd be as happy with picking Mayfield as anyone. Dude can make plays off-schedule.

Nah, if Elway decides that he is mature enough to be a pro it's not a bad pick at all in my mind. He has the talent. The only question I have is whether or not he has the football IQ, humility, and maturity.

Browns and giants are almost locks for taking a QB. Jets are #6 and may trade up to get 1

i have reservations about him, but that's true of all the prospects. . . i would be okay with us drafting baker-- if only for the fun of watching MO's head explode in slow motion. . .

I’m not a fan.

I’m with you NTL.
