Post 1st round rookie QB rankings?
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 7:26 am
6 QBs are off the board and have their landing spots. How does this affect their rankings to you? Are there any QBs left you would take ahead of any of the 1st rounders?
Mine-
Rosen ARI- Well Bradford will be hurt between weeks 2-4 and Rosen will have the team. The O-line needs work, but a healthy DJ will take pressure off the young QB and having Fitz for at least another year gives him at least one passer friendly option there. Rosen was my top QB before the draft, and while not a great spot by any means, it wasn't the worst and at least gives him a chance.
Mayfield CLE- As dumb as it may be, after seeing the pick, I actually think Mayfield can do it here. He gets all his quick read short passes to the likes of Landry, Njoku, Duke, and can take shots deep to Gordon. Browns QB though, and not sure I'd actually have the guts to pick this guy as the 2nd QB off the board on my rookie draft days. Tyrod should be serviceable enough to let Mayfield sit a while for once and not rush him in before he's ready, a tried and true method to ruin a QB Cleveland has masters
Jackson BAL- This one was exciting to see at the end of the 1st after a not the most exciting draft for fantasy owners. He gets to sit comfortably behind Flacco, and he was the QB who most needed time. Baltimore can groom him, and acquire assets that gameplan well with his mobility. They traded up to get him, showing faith in their guy as the next potential head of the Franchise. Baltimore's offense also isn't in as rough shape as most of the other rookie QBs new homes.
Darnold NYJ- This one I think was the worst place for a QB with a high turnover rate (both ints and fumbles). No receivers to throw to, not much of a running game to take pressure off. He slid down for me, and I think he's at the highest risk of getting ruined before he develops and busting through not much fault of his own. If Jets can let McKown lead for the year, and turn to Teddy first if needing a change, Darnold may be alright if he doesn't really see the field 2018
Allen BUF- Ouch. And there's really no one for him to sit under, he'll be thrust into the starting lineup behind one of the worst O-lines and receiving corps in the NFL. Bills owners are easily pressured by their fanbase, and AJ McCarron won't lead them long without results. Allen I think will get the earliest shot of the rookies, and he has the arm strength and flash to make something out of nothing at times, but I'm not sure its enough. If he can hold onto his head, he may be a good QB in a few years there with big improvements around him
Rudolph and even Falk I could easily see jumping Allen and Darnold to me with better teams. Everyone got excited when Saints moved up thinking QB behind Brees but then they went linebacker. If Saints or Pats grab a passer in the 2nd round, I will trust their front office's judgement and put them near Jackson
