We gotta start taking shots on highly rated QB prospects, even if it's at the expense of potentially missing out on a great player at another position. My plan would be to draft the best QB on our list this year, give him 2 years to show franchise QB ability and if he doesn't, rinse and repeat until we find a franchise guy.

I see we are approaching "Mel Kiper is an idiot season".

As someone who absolutely loves the draft, I don't hate Mel. Mel helped make the NFL draft the spectacle it is. He's no more wrong or right than any other draft pundit out there. He was just the first. 

What he says is not gospel and is just his opinion. I will take in what he says and compare his notes and opinions to other draft guys to better shape my own opinion of prospects. It's ok to either agree or disagree with him. Doesn't mean you or him are stupid if the player ends up good or bad, just that you, like many, many GMs, are often wrong in the crapshoot that is the NFL draft.

CJ is the obvious pick imo because of his insane arm strength and decent accuracy. When CJ throws he's just kind of flicking the ball effortlessly a lot of the time, and the ball rockets down the field. It's crazy. CJ's throwing motion is kind of messed up, yet he's still able to get the ball where he wants it to go. Imagine if he fixes his throwing motion. He'll be amazing imo, assuming he can see the field.

I believe there is a website that did does an annual draft breakdown that very clearly indicated Mel Kiper was in the middle to lower tier of TV draft analysts. 

Kiper stands out as a complete idiot for his wildly moronic takes in pretty obvious situations on occasion. Also, the Clausen situation definitely tarnished his reputation as it clearly showed he doesn't have much in the way of even journalistic integrity.

Making a QB "fix his motion" at this level, is likely to lead to a JaMarcus Russell level bust. 

You might be able to tweak things here or there but not many QB's reinvent their throwing motion in the NFL and even succeed after they try.

Allen and Mahomes say hello.

I think it's a safe rule to follow but the 2 best QBs in the NFL says there is a chance.

      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.
