Who are the top QB prospects for the 2015 draft?

Here's Mel's take.  It scares me I agree with him on Mateer, but the rest of it is vintage Mel where he's on the hype train with these guys.  I'm comforted that he has Mendoza #5.

I’ve never been high on Allar. But he’ll get drafted high due to traits alone. Big kid big arm

Mateer was my #1 guy to watch coming into this season. I would watch Washington St because of Cam Ward and once he left I kept watching for Mateer. Loose/live arm. Not a throw he can’t make

I haven’t watched much Nussmeier this year. I honestly think he would’ve gone high had he entered the draft. I assume he’ll still go high this next year 

If we do end up drafting a QB in the first it better be because we have a new GM and HC

I wouldn't feel comfortable with any Kiper endorsement. It's been well documented that Kiper doesn't no squat.

Oh, I am well aware.  That's why him having Mendoza at #5 and not #1 is a sigh of relief.  Going back to Mateer, Brady Quinn put him on Mel's radar, so it's not exactly the kiss of death he's ranked so high.

Brady Quinn isn't someone I would rely on for expert advice either.

McShay says he feels better about Mendoza in the ugly win versus Iowa than when Indiana is blowing out opponents.  Iowa dialed up many zero blitzes and got home a few times.  One caused his pick where he rushed the pass with a LB barrelling down in his face.  To his credit, with the game on the line, Iowa dialed up another zero blitz and Mendoza beat it on a slant route for the winning TD.  McShay also likes his toughness as a runner.  He's not a gifted runner, but effective enough and doesn't shy away from contact especially when trying to get to the sicks.

Tough, accurate and not mentally fragile.  Until this dude (if) this guy lays an egg, this is my guy for the draft.  He survived a physical Iowa defense on the road whose game plan was to rough him up.  After being harassed and pummeled all game, dude marches his team down the field for the game winning TD.

It would be a breath of fresh air to have a QB overcome an ugly game to notch a win around here.

Dante Moore is the top pick in a couple of mock drafts now.

I do not care what happens to the remaining season of BYs offense. 

Panthers must draft a QB in this draft and it needs to be before rounds 6/7.

As we know, those rankings will only go higher...they always do.  If all four declare and are 100% healthy while staying productive, they all will be in the top 10 by draft time.  Count on it.

Here's another.  Sellers is not refined enough..yet.. to be #1 overall.

Still think Moore might be the best based on the small sample size.  Indiana and Oregon should play each other so that could be interesting.  Sellers probably has the highest ceiling but he will need time and I feel like he is a prime candidate to get rushed out and ruined early in his career.
