I want Lance at 8, and I do not think someone will trade up to 5 to get him. Or 6 or 7. Several mock drafts don’t have him going in the first round at all. It’s a need pick and it’s one we should make. I’ll go on record as saying I want one or two guys in the first round: Lance or Sewell.

Lance isn't my guy, but I wouldn't be upset if we took him. There's a lot to like about the kid and he has the look of a modern QB and seems to have good leadership skills.

What worries me about him is that he is SOOOOO young and has SOOOO little experience as a QB, even going back to high school. He has the arm, he can move like a Maserati, but does he have enough experience to read a defense and process the info? Does he have the maturity to dig in and keep working when the game gets tough or the team racks up a couple of losses in a row? Has he seen enough of the game to really influence it and bend both teams to his will?

That's a lot for a kid who will turn 21 in May. Still, he looks the part, really looks the part.

She prolly meant Billy and added an M accidentally.

Pretty weird for someone who Chris Simms thinks is a 2nd round pick at best 😉

Seriously, Chris Simms probably watched the 1 game this season and based it on that.  How hard would it be to prepare for 1 game?  I can't imagine everything in the program was running normally-must have seemed like playing in the Spring Practice game.

Pretty much this. There's a lot to like about the talent. If we're sold on the guy and draft him, I'll root like hell for him.

He was running a pro-style offense--albeit not throwing a whole lot--reading defenses and calling his own plays during the first year that he was the man. That should say something about his mental acuity for the game.

He will become my draft crush and be there at 8, while we draft Mac...

That happens to me every year--the guy I want is sitting there and then we take a guy I had scratched off my list.

Mac has me intrigued--I think boom or bust is the best way to describe him.  While most Huddlers are not in the Jones camp, I see the potential for him to be great in the right system.  They say, "Yeah, but at Bama he had a great OL and WRs"  That would be "the right system".   So I see both sides--but I post "Pro Jones" stuff because there is literally NOTHING statistically that says, "write him off."  Nothing.  So what are people seeing that they don't like?  They want a mobile qb and he aint that.  Gonna be a fun six or seven weeks.

Good point.  I see something special in him--he will need the right system.
