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.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
