Yeah, inaccurate QBs are just so much fun.

They are if they can run!

That wasn't the game where UCLA lost in OT?

Yeah, Tebow was a lot of fun. Especially when he would throw a screen pass into the upper deck . . .

No, UCLA won in OT. They were trailing big in the game and Rosen lead them to a comeback.

There were three teams competing to draft QBs, but they all wanted the same guys! Everybody who needs a QB knows that the Browns and Giants also both need QBs. And, although those teams are actively talking, nobody has been willing so far to pay the price to move up to #2 or #1.

In fact, history would tell us that it's rare for a trade at #2 or #1 even happens. The Eagles moved up with Cleveland to #2 to get Wentz, but that's an exception. Most of the time the price is too steep and the top 2 teams find no trade partner, or decide that they want a certain guy who won't be there if they trade back.

Is that generational player in this draft Barkley? Is he the next Edgerrin James? If so, then the Browns take him #1. But, if you think he's just a great RB, but not a sure-fire HOF, then maybe they take a QB #1.

Either way, 3 of the top 4 QBs will be off the boards at #5. So, unless Elway is happy taking the leavings - ie taking "Mr. Whoever is left" then the Broncos are not taking a Qb at #5.

Because the way this draft is shaping up, it is probably Darnold #1, Rosen #2 and Mayfield #3 to the Jets. Why else did they get Teddy Bridgewater? I mean they are not even disguising it at this point.

Mayfield just has to be their guy. Bridgewater is the same type of mobile QB who can excel in a spread system is he not? If you were the Jets, doesn't it make total sense to draft Mayfield now they have Bridgewater and let Mayfield learn from the veteran?

You don't draft Baker Mayfield and then expect him to be OK sitting on the bench for 2 seasons behind some veteran. That's just not his style. He will immediately start pushing to become the starting QB from day 1.

I think you'd have a problem sitting him behind Keenum for any length of time, but in New York will Bridgewater be healthy? And what chance does Josh McCown have of beating him out? It's just a much better fit.

What was even funnier was when Peyton Manning deliberately threw over the heads of some reporters standing on the sidelines one day in August after said reporters had called Peyton's passes "wobblers." After he whistled a pass out of bounds right at a bunch of reporters he called over to them "watch out! Some of those wobblers can still hurt!"

Think about this guys:

#1 There is just NO WAY that Cleveland could have told the Jets what they are doing at #1. They could take a QB. They could take Sequon Barkley or Chubb. But, the Jets have to assume the worst case scenario, which is that the Browns take a QB #1 overall.

Similarly, the Giants might take Cubb or Barkley at #2, but the Jets have to assume they won't; that they will instead take a QB #2. That takes two QBs off the boards.

The Jets obviously have a plan and that plan must be to draft a QB at #3. They would never give up THREE #2 picks to move up 3 spots to do anything else.

So, since the Giants and Browns won't tell anybody what their plans are and both could logically refuse to trade their picks and take QBs, the Jets must logically be happy with the #3 QB off the board. Or they must have a pretty good idea that either the Giants or Browns want a Qb they do not want, so their guy will still be on the board at #3.

IF they were not certain of this, they would have made the deal only finalized on draft day, on the contingency that their guy is available at #3. That's how a lot of trades happen. The teams talk, and a deal is worked out, but the deal isn't final until the first team is on the clock on draft day and the second team's player choice is available.

Either way, this means that THREE QBs should be off the boards by #4. Either the Browns take one at #1 or at #4 but not both, so only 3 QBs can be gone by #5 when the Broncos are on the boards.

So, either Elway is happy with the Jets leavings, or else he'll take another player at #5 or trade back.

Are you arguing with yourself?

He was fun!

If we're gonna have to suffer for a year with a lame duck head coach, let's at least get some excitement out of it.

Preferably not the 20 interceptions type of excitement we saw last year

This almost guarantees Nelson or Barkley to be there at 5, especially if the Giants trade down too. If that happens then we will do nothing, we will stay and take BPA.

Barkley isn't going to be there five.
