Neither Mahomes or Allen went #1 but plenty of really bad QBs have. I would rather have the best QB and not the most desired QB regardless of the 'experts' opinions.

This is a deep class, but not a star-studded class.  The QB hype train is only two cars long this year and the casual observers will get snagged in that narrative.  That's cool with me.  Hopefully Wilkes pulls out several wins, we trade back grab Mayer and take a QB at the top of the 2nd round.

Every year that train gets out of hand. For fugs sake it did last year and it was the worst class I can remember.

The NFL is a hype machine and the need for QBs makes it a guarantee that fans will belive some of the crazy and stupid crap that they come up with to keep people engaged. I get what you are saying tho. I just don't look until the kids are done with school. It takes all of the emotion out of it and makes it easier IMO.

I don’t think he’s a sure fire superstar but I would be ok with Levis.  He has a lot of upside.  Great size, big arm and pretty athletic.  Stroud and Young both scare me.  It’s so hard to get a gauge on how good Alabama and OSU QB’s are because they always have a stacked roster.

DO NOT WANT STROUD!!!  Ohio State QBs are trash in the NFL. Fields is 2 years into his pro career and he looks worse and worse. 

Will never understand the people that look at the helmet and nothing else. Stroud looks like an entirely different QB.

Panther fans be like "we should wait until next year" — every year.

It kills me, Young/Stroud are as good of prospects as anyone who has come out lately.  Every single player in the draft has some sort of risk, not very many have the prolonged upside as one of these QBs.  When you find yourself in a position to take a QB and you need one you take one.

Completely agree.  Assuming we are in the top 5, I don't see any other option than going qb.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
