2018 QB Draft Prospects

#4

This class turned out to be a bit of a let down after all of the off season hype. Josh Rosen was coming off of an injury in 2016. So that may have played a role in his regression. But I just don't like the kid. His best game was against Hawaii. He was sharp, focused and on point that game. I really liked what I saw in that one. But then he followed it up with four so-so games where he racked up a ton of yards but made a lot of mistakes. He's streaky. Not consistent. And that's my biggest issue with him.

Mason Rudolph is an interesting prospect. But he reminds me of Blake Bortles A LOT. He'll have to sit and develop. I think we could take him in RD2. But again, if he's Blake Bortles 2.0, do you really want him? He's got the same size. Similar arm strength. Even their completion percentages coming out of college are basically neck and neck. And that's with Rudolph playing an additional year in College. I just don't know if he's what this team needs at the position. I see the same guy in all honesty.

So, really it comes down to these two guys at the bottom of RD1 if they're there. Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson. Those are the only two QB's I see that could be starting in the next two years at a respectable level. Baker has been crazy, crazy good the last two years. His ability to read defense, his accuracy, his ability to make plays with his feet. The fact that he's won some big games and really as a Bulldogs fan that kid earned my respect in a tough OT loss. He played great. I don't care about his size at all. His production is off the charts. It's just that one stupid little arrest that scares me sometimes. Is he capable of being a Russell Wilson type QB? Or is he going to be the next Johnny Manziel? If he's there at 29. TAKE HIM. I think he's worth the risk.

As far as Lamar Jackson? Stunning athletic ability. Strong arm. Terrible accuracy. Needs to work on his feet and ball placement. He's not Deshuan Watson coming out of college but he could develop into somebody similar to him at the next level. He has intangibles you can't teach or coach. He just has it. I think as a rookie behind Bortles he could learn Hackett's system. It's a west coast system that requires quick little throws here and there and that actually may work within his skill set and his scrambling ability. As a rookie they could give him specific packages and looks to keep the defense honest too. I think he's worth the risk and you have to take him at 29 as well if Mayfield isn't there.
