I hope Arians retires after the season cause I really fear Josh Allen is the QB he’ll get & I think that’s a pink slip for any coaching staff.
I certainly do not hope that Arians retires, and I have not yet studied the quarterbacks in the draft well enough to have an opinion as to where they are likely to be selected. I do know, however, that Allen is a pretty athletic guy with a lot of potential, and it seems to me that Keim and Arians like to roll the dice on such players in the first round. You could argue that both Jonathan Cooper and Deone Bucannon fits that mold but I think it is clear to everyone that D.J. Humphries, Robert Nkemdiche and Haason Reddick certainly does. They are all highly talented guys that for some reason simply did not reach a high level of production in their college careers, yet Keim wanted to try to develop them so that they could fulfil their massive potential. It seems to me that Josh Allen would be a logical continuation of the trend, if the Cardinals wants to select a quarterback in the first round, and if Allen will be of first round consideration come April.
Another pattern seems to be that both Keim and Arians like charismatic players, which both Humphries and Nkemdiche apparently is as it relates specifically to the first round. Again, I have not yet looked deeper into the players that might be in the upcoming draftclass but from the little I have seen and read, I think Josh Rosen might be the most charismatic player and leader of the quarterbacks who could be selected in the first round.
I very much hope that some of you posters that know about these guys will state your view on the matter.
By the way, I just want to mention that even though he is only a redshirted sophomore and probably will not sign up for the draft after this season, the quarterback Daniel Jones out of Duke has really impressed me. He might get selected in the first round if he does decide to come out.
