Lamar Jackson is not an NFL QB

Would like to hear your reasoning for that. From all indications, from his pocket movement, reads, and pro-style scheme comfortability that I’ve seen, he has the traits to succeed and do extremely well.

He's simply not an accurate enough thrower of the football.

I appreciate your opinion. Its interesting to note how absolute you are. Believe me its the concensus on the Bills site too. If your basing your judgements on statistics and probablity chances are your assessment will be the house bet. Of course life doesn't always work out like that. Not that it matters. All will be known in due course. Hope he doesnt go to the Browns though. I would like him to go to the Chargers.

First round grades on: 
Chubb, Landry, Davenport, Key, Hubbard, and Green. Pretty deep 4-3 end class if you ask me.

If we take Key, Hubbard or Green in the 1st after all these hours of researching and refreshing the Huddle 24/7 the last 2 months for draft talk, imma be sick to my stomach

Eh  id disagree

Cam was a 66% thrower

Jackson was a 63% thrower their last college seasons.

Jackson has made some real nice throws, a lot of drops by his WRs too.

 

My only concern is his durability, he is identical to RG3 coming out.  RG3's body couldnt hold up.  Can Jackson's?

There's no immediate need for DE, but in terms of the future, it might be our #1 need based on our defensive philosophy. Peppers is pushing 40 and is only playing one more season. Addison is on the wrong side of 30 himself. Horton is a solid rotational DE but nothing more. Everyone else on the roster is completely unproven and only Hall was considered a legitimate NFL caliber prospect coming out of college. We build our defense around the front seven and lean on a strong pass rush. If we're going to continue that philosophy we absolutely need to add young talent and do it soon. I sure hope we don't force things and reach on a DE, but DE should be on the table for us everywhere in the draft if the right guy is there, including at #24.

I would agree with this.  They are hard to find and tend to be really expensive.  A 38 year old Peppers was probably one of the better ones on the market this year.  That tells you the lack of them.  Also it is viewed by most teams as being one of the more important positions on the team..

Speaking of positional value I would add LT and CB to that list.  Just look at how long we have been complaining about LT.  Unless you draft one there is no guarantee you can find a great one in FA.

I use to think the key to a great defense was a front 4 that could get to the QB without help.  Unfortunately though I think there are some teams and QBs that have got so good at the quick passing attack that you have to be able to press some with your corners to give your front 4 some time.  Also CB is the one positions on the team that you need the most of.  Teams can scheme away from your #1 or #2 corner so you better have 3 good ones.  I would add a quality FS to that list considering how the league has changed.

Jackson was at 59% last season. 57% for his career.

Josh's accuracy issues are overblown, the guys he has talked with don't think he is inaccurate, just that his receivers did not give him any separation. His arm will transition to the nfl, and he is every much an elite  qb prospect.

LJ is the one with accuracy issues, but he is what he is.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
