I thought it would be good for Jags to snag Haskins. That was before they got Foles in FA. Seems like eons ago. Shows you why they scout guys for maturity ,etc. In retrospect that 2019 QB class seems pretty mediocre. Only Murray seems to be more than average at this point.

well, it is not like I can point to the many WVU QB's littering the league. We have 2 in the league, and they are both QB2's.Originally Posted by kaldaniels

Yeah, it's not like one particular school or conference is consistently pumping out successful NFL QBs. But that's the problem IMO .... even though some will disagree with me, there is still a huge difference in the two levels of play betwen college and pros. Yes, it is closing, but the void is still there.
Ohio State, like other "elite" P5 programs, has a huge advantage in drawing that talent and developing some of the best college QBs in the land. Just like an Alabama, Clemson, whoever. Ohio State, from Troy Smith to Justin Fields, has developed some great college QBs; but there always seems to be something "lacking" in their game that hinders them when they get to the NFL. Look at JT Barrett who broke all of Drew Breese' B10 offensive records, as well as other college awards he won. Yet he couldn't consistently/successfully throw the ball downfield, Clemson stacked the line, and we all saw what happened. He then goes undrafted.
Every year we have this debate, and ESPN throws out who the best QBs are in competition for the Heisman, and who will most likely succeed in the NFL. And they play the hype up to the max.
But I will say this too .... a majority of these top-ranked college QBs go where? To the crappiest teams in the NFL with lots of issues, and they throw these kid's feet to the fire right away anymore.
Sometimes, it takes the NFL to "expose" them.
Ohio State seems to have better luck with RBs and the LBer positions (lol).

After the overreaction from the Northwestern game, Fields is looking a bit better at #2

Jets have to consider Fields at 2. We (Bengals) need a Texans miracle vs Tennessee tomorrow to get ahead of Miami
Fields is the best QB in OSU history and it isn't even close. This was only game 21 for Fields as a starting QB
- DeVonta Smith might have passed Ja'Marr Chase as WR1
- Najee Harris will be one of the biggest steals of the 1st round probably
- Mac Jones to Indy??

I’m calling it, Najee Harris to the Steelers.
I've seen him mocked there in a few drafts, but that seems way too low. Dude's been bulldozing people all year, a la Derrick Henry. I could see Arizona at the earliest. The Dolphins/Jets would be stupid to pass on him with their 2nd 1st round picks.

I wouldn't mind the Steelers taking Harris. Yeah, he's really good, but it's rare that it's worth it to take a RB in the first round

None of the mocks I’ve seen have him listed as a first rounder.
RB isn’t the premium position it used to be. You can get value as early as the second round (Mixon, Chubb, Dobbins alone in the AFC North)
Sure, but there's usually at least 2 that go in the 1st. Harris should be a lock, Etienne maybe. After that, the RB class kind of falls off, although I really like the two UNC backs, who will probably go rounds 3ish.

I think I saw Trey Sermon ranked #285 as prospect. Holy cow he's got to go higher than that.

Carson Wentz is a healthy scratch for Philadelphia. Schefter reports that Pederson is coming back and that Wentz will request a trade in off-season. I don't know who they can dump that contract on and how much of a cap hit Philly will take.

The fall of Wentz has been a sight to behold.
His old pal Reich is in Indy...it makes too much sense. (So long as his knee isn’t totally shot.)
