Oh I agree that after the Combine, there could be a shake up in rankings but unless Darnold suffers a catastrophic injury he should go #1 unless Rosen changes everyone's mind. I love Jackson's athletic ability and intangibles but he really needs to show more accuracy in big games. He's looked great against everyone except CLEM. Baker Mayfield is starting to grow on me, just hope his immaturity off the field is behind him.

I don't think Darnold comes out this year based on the year he is having.

Should be looking at OL prospects in the 1st round
You know our track record with OL in the 1st round. We need a QB because Carson will retire after this year, a mobile one at that.

Just looking over Baker Mayfield clips on Youtube and man this guy reminds me of Brees. Mayfield may be a little taller (we'll see at Combine) but he has an arm and is mobile enough when he has to run. QB and OT need to be first 2 picks. Sign a veteran CB like Kyle Fuller maybe a #1 WR like Jeffrey.

Definitely, he needs to be young and mobile because this o-line is a train wreck .

I'm interested in any QB that has the ability to extend the play with his legs. Whoever we take is going to be running for his life next season.

Most QB's would've rushed for 2-3 first downs tonight. Not implying anything tonight was Palmer's fault b/c it wasnt but the opportunities to shoot up field were there. It's just not his game.

We are going to need a tackle, WR, DL and QB all in the first round this year.

We can fill a couple of those needs in FA. If Mayfield can make it to our pick in Round 2, I would look at OT Trey Adams of WASH, he's listed as top OT in this year's draft. If by some off chance we're picking late 20's, I'd take Mayfield unless Jackson shows major accuracy in a big bowl game.

We could've drafted Watson and given him a year to learn the system and have him ready to go in 2018. But, noooo we neeed a project OLB to transition to ILB. As much as he bugged me, this team would be much better off with Watson and Minter than Reddick and Stanton/Gabbert.

Keim's rent-a-geezer QB strategy only kicks the can and leaves us w/out a QBOTF in perpetuity.

We didn't have a chance to draft Watson as Houston snagged him before we picked. Now we could've drafted Kizer and he was there when we picked in the second round, but I guess a safety was more important.

Every week a new name
Allen was like a top 3 pick last year and actually is not even in the top 5 of the qb list for the next year draft

BigRedRage is wrong about our first round needs. We can wait until the second round for an OT, as our first round OL picks never seem to work out anyway. :)

Definitely
I could consider drafting them from round 3 to 7, having the same percentage of being succesfull
