Or is he simply the best QB still likely to be available by the time we pick?

I’ve got a feeling we wouldn’t even be discussing him if we were picking inside the top 10-15.

Or do you think he’d be a top pick in any other year?

He has your prototypical size for the all time great QBs, not the strongest arm but it isn't weak like Teddy, the best deep ball thrower in the draft, can scramble, lead the nation in completion %, improved every year he was in college.  What more do you want, good character and seems confident to prove the naysayers wrong.  What more do you want

Agreed. Some people hold it against him that he plays in the Big 12 and refuse to look passed it. But if you think about it, there are 4 NFL QB's that will likely be starters in 2018 that came from that very same conference, (Pat Mahomes, Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannenhill and Sam Bradford.) None may be elite QB's, but Dalton, Tannenhill and Bradford have been in the league a long time and Mahomes is expected to be a very good starter in time. The digs about the Big 12 not being a good conference to draft QB's from just doesn't hold water any more.
