I agree, but I also don't understand the hate with Lynch. Other than the fact he plays at Memphis, what makes him a bad prospect?

If lynch was projected for the 2nd or 3rd round, then sure, but as the supposed #1 qb prospect coming out, he got shut out by a .500 auburn team, got limited against temple, lost against navy, etc. He's a measurables qb with questionable accuracy. I can't see him as the #1 pick.

I've been casual outside of FSU and when QB prospects are mentioned I look at highlights and it determines if I should follow them and no QB made me want to follow them.

My bad. Not meant to be a shot at you, just in general, I feel like a ton of people on here are down on Lynch.

I don't think any of the top teams need a QB.

Goff's the most talented I think. When in doubt I'm taking talent above all else.
draft a guy whose never beaten a top 25 team

draft a guy whose resume includes wins vs gambling, sac state, oregon state, sd state, and airforce

and losses against stanford, utah, ucla, usc, and oregon

see a trend there


:ohhh:

I'd probably take Cook and hope he can be groomed. But any of these guys are a risk and the best quarterback in the draft may very well not be chosen until the later rounds.

The bolded are players I consider draftable. I would draft Cardale Jones in the 4th; Conor Cook in the high 2nd; Goff in the high 1st; Wentz in the high 2nd; Boykin in the high 2nd; Brissett in the low 2nd; Kessler in the 2nd/3rd; Prescott in the 4th; Ruddock in the 4th; Lynch in the mid 1st.

Rudock and Coker are going to get drafted in Day 3

McCarron playing well, is going to help those Types.

Rudock maybe, but not Coker. Coker is not as good as McCarron when he left Alabama. Coker is a 5th rounder/UDFA on talent alone.

None. Within the first 3 rounds.

There isn't a name on that list, that gives a team a chance to immediately turn it around.

Plus. The problem is that many of those QBs don't run a pro-style, under center offense. That aspect alone makes it harder to project what type of pro they will be. Footwork struggles and coverage reads are a muthafukka.

But I do think that teams will give Goff and Lynch a shot to compete for a starting position. All the others are more then likely in the 4-7 "depth" finding rounds.

That's a simplistic way to look at a draft prospect. Cal stinks, all those losses were against teams better than them.

You can have a Connor Cook because "he's a winner", I'll take the talented guy and hope I build a better team around him.

I think Goff can develop into a good starter. Although he suffers under pressure, he already has the strong pocket presence fundamentals to overcome his struggles in a year or two. Lynch meanwhile is a good look because he took his Memphis team pretty far. In other words, Lynch can elevate the talent around him, which is what a top 10 QB does in the NFL. Both Goff and Lynch are first rounders for me.

However I wouldn't draft Cook in the 1st round. He makes too many mistakes.
