His accuracy and touch are phenomenal, he has a strong arm (not a cannon, but strong), he's mobile for a man of his size and he goes through his progessions well and makes solid reads. He also throws the prettiest deep ball in this draft. I have him and Baker Mayfield, 1a and 1b, but IMO, Rudolph is the safer pick, but I'd love either one. As for getting him in round 2, I don't think he falls that far. I think teams are gonna fall in love with him during workouts and interviews and I believe he goes somewhere in round 1. If he's there when we pick in the first round, I'd be running to the podium to make the selection. IMO, I see a little Ben Roethlisberger in him.

He said decision making is the number one trait in a QB over arm talent, mobility, etc.  I guess that backs up your assessment on him going through his progressions.  I was impressed last night.

The thing is, he has the arm talent as well. The only thing I see going against him is the bias some people have about Big 12 QB's. It's true, that in the past, QB's from this conference have bombed in the NFL and that is a legitimate concern, but I've never seen a QB coming out of the Big 12 that impressed me this much. It's not even close. The same argument can be made about Baker Mayfield though. IMO, these two need to be judged on their own merits and not based on past QB's. I see Rudolph as a Ben Roethlisberger type and Mayfield as a Drew Brees type. I also like Josh Rosen, but I have several concerns about his attitude and injury history. On talent alone, he's right there with Rudolph and Mayfield, but I have concerns. Sam Darnold is the confusing one. I wrote him off midway through the season and thought he needed to return to school, but he finished the season really strong and as of now, I have him ranked as the 4th best QB, but he could still move up a bit.
