I don't really like his mental process when he has to get off his first read or play out of structure. He floats every pass, even to the sidelines and quick outs which is a mortal sin for a QB. Arm is average but has amazing touch. If had was a 3rd round pick I'd like him, wouldn't touch him in the 1st as of right now.   

Much prefer Mayfield,Jackson and Rosen for what they bring to the table trait wise.

To me, I see an intelligent QB with a very good, yet not elite arm who is able to take something off his passes when he needs to, yet can gun it into tight windows over the middle as well. The only QB's I would consider in round 1 are Rudolph, Rosen, Mayfield (depending on if he is a legit 6' tall) and Finley (although I don't expect him to declare.) I am not a fan of Jackson at all. I want a drop back passer and if he can't find his first read, he wants to take off and run. He is an athletic freak, but running QB's are injury plagued in the NFL and his body just doesn't look like it would hold up.

If we take any QB in round 1, other than the four I mentioned, we'll be doomed and we can't screw this draft up. This is probably the most important draft in the history of the franchise. I'd consider Riley Ferguson in round 2, but I really wanna spend that first round pick on a QB and add another late in the draft as well. Besides, something tells me Ferguson might be off the board by the late first. If we end up taking Josh Allen, I'll probably take a hiatus from following the team. That guy straight up sucks.

If he has a very good arm then why can't he drive the ball with zip on quick outs, deep outs or into tight with windows?  

Jackson is usually very good at keeping his eyes up and looking to pass before running unless it's a designed play. He's a passing QB who is an elite runner and athlete. Not the other way around. Petrino is notoriously tough on QBs and doesn't run a simple scheme. Lamars passing scheme is closer to the NFLs than many other QBs. His supporting cast is god awful also.

Nelson looks like he's a homerun pick. Imagine him and Cam on the same side...
