If we're talking whose made consistent Sunday-level throws...I'm ALL in on Clayton Tune.  My suspicion is teams have noticed; he just seems like a dude. Stone cold.

O'Connell and Haener have impressed me as well.  Even with the school returns, there's a lot more mid-round talent than usual at the QB spot.  Not many top-of-draft guys, but a lot in the likes of how ones like Minshew, Prescott, Cousins, & Love were viewed as prospects.  I like them better than last year's round 3 batch, but not enough to have as top-end 1sts.  

My Current Rankings:

1. Bryce Young (Top 5)

2. CJ Stroud (Top 12)

3. Anthony Richardson (Top 20)

*4- Jayden Daniels - Return to LSU? (Rd 1)

4. Tanner McKee (Rd 1-2)

5. Will Levis (Rd 1-2) Yes, I'd rather have Daniels & McKee over Levis

*6- Cameron Ward - Return to WSU? (Rd 2-3)

6. Clayton Tune (Rd 2-3)

7. Aidan O'Connell (Rd 3-4)

8. Max Duggan (Rd 3-4) 

---this is around where I'd peg Corral & Ridder---

9. Jake Haener (Rd 4-6)

10. Jaren Hall (Rd 4-6)

11. Hendon Hooker (Rd 4-6)

I'm pretty much all in on Anthony Richardson at this point. Go big or go home. Take a swing on the boom or bust guy with the highest ceiling in the draft. Yeah, he very well may bust. If he does, swing again. But when you're mired in mediocrity you have to take chances. Taking a "safe" QB is just asking for more perpetual mediocrity. Stroud and Young are going to be out of reach. Hell, depending on the interview process Richardson very well may be too.

I agree on the philosophy and we may honestly end up in a very ideal spot to land him. 

The Richardson, FA/Darnold, & Corral route may be one to go for our QB group.  

And then, if we like a guy later to take a stab on in R4-6, might as well.  Competition never hurts.

Knowing Young is going before we can pick, Richardson has as much upside as any of the others.  He gives you redzone and short yardage gold as well.  If he has the desire and work ethic to be great he can be a difference maker.  
 

I think you better to be ready to always be wanting more with passing accuracy with him.  He is wildly inaccurate at times.  Just fact.  Still, I can’t wait to see Stroud against Georgia because Richardson as the #2 guy in this draft isn’t a stretch.

If Young doesn’t go #1 I will be shocked.  He is clearly the best QB

Todd McShay had Detroit taking CJ Stroud in his mock today.  Gotta say my first thought was is CJ Stroud better than Jared Goff?  Really don’t think they would pick him.  Not seeing it.  They need defense and they are seriously on the rise.  
 

CJ dropping is a possibility.  Average athlete and he is being a bit overrated right now

You have Jayden in the first?  If he gets told he has a first round grade he might leave early, but I am not 100% sure he will...

Right there was a solid 3rd round that suddenly went poof!image.png.b08b7739c6489f8d062b221c3fd98375.png

I'm honestly not sure if D.J. would've even been signed as a UDFA. Dude looked legitimately terrible. He's probably headed to a non-P5 school because I'm not sure there's a P5 team out there that will guarantee him a starting spot.

That's me, may not be popular but totally think he could be a first rounder.  Has too many tools to pass on from my view.  He had a phenomenal year and has as much upside as AR but is miles more refined as a passer.  Had some great wins, tight throws, accurate, NFL arm, and is a madman on his feet.  He beefed up from 185 to around 200 this year, so has conditioned himself into quite the ideal size.  I think he's the total package AZ State fans thought he could become.

He is definitely flying under the radar. Only threw 3 INTs last year playing in a tough conference.

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
