Top 10 QBs ranked nov 19 by PFF

This...scares me.

The knock on Lance is fairly simple: accuracy. Since the start of 2019, he’s had the lowest percentage of his passing attempts deemed accurate of any quarterback in this top 10 (47.1%). In his defense, his 11.5-yard average depth of target is the second deepest of anyone on this list. Those accuracy issues, however, keep us from completely buying in on him as a sure-fire franchise quarterback.

Lawrence would run Brady's system here perfectly. Literally perfectly. Like Mahomes in KC. I would 100% be all for selling the farm to get him if he won't play for the Jets. He is just so far ahead of every other QB in this class as a prospect and there are 3 other QBs who are worthy of a top 5 pick... If the opportunity is there because he snubs the Jets we need to be in on that. I doubt that happens and he most certainly just becomes a Jet but a man can dream right?

Josh Allen did a ton of work this past off season to fix his issues. The Bills got pretty lucky. Few QBs can fix their mechanics this late in life.

Yes it was. And his development has been extremely impressive, but it should be noted that Allen is a rare outlier in that regard. Most QBs who come out of college with accuracy issues don't ever get them fixed. I don't actually think it's that big of an issue with Lance and I'm a big fan of his (would 100% take him if the top 2 and Wilson were gone, though I think I prefer Wilson to him at this point), but I will say I think Lance is the most likely to bust of the top 4. All 4 are great, great prospects though and you can't go wrong with taking a shot on any of them high in this draft.

This was a bit surprising. First time I’ve heard of this. I’ve always read he is very accurate. Here’s from Jeremiah: “

  1. Accuracy: I say this all the time: Do not get caught up in completion percentage when evaluating accuracy. Lance completed nearly 67 percent of his passes, which is impressive, but the tape showed he was even more accurate than that number indicates. His ball placement is excellent. He really trusts his eyes and throws with anticipation, which allows his receivers better opportunities to run after the catch. He can layer the ball in the middle of the field (over linebackers and under safeties) and he excels on bucket throws (deep balls over the top).”

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
