QB Impressions

[Direckshun]

First glances at several QBs we're going to give a shit about over the next four months. Feel free to set me straight.

DeShone Kizer, Notre Dame
6'4", 230 lbs
26-9 TD-INT, 59%, 2925 passing yards

I get a Cutlerian vibe from this guy. Seems to be built like a franchise QB. Powerful arm, some beautiful passes, perfect bodytype. But he is lacking an "it" factor, is he not? He's not a world-beating, overcome-the-odds, particularly spiriting QB. Looks like he could have an okay career in the NFL in which he wins nothing of consequence.

Mitch Trubisky, North Carolina
6'3", 220 lbs
30-6 TD-INT, 69%, 3748 passing yards

Well if there was one Andy Reid QB in this entire draft, it's Trubisky, isn't it? Super accurate, doesn't take too many risks with the ball, is very mentally tough and very athletic. He's a slam dunk for the Chiefs to trade up for, if he lasts to the 20s, but in a QB-starved NFL with at least 6 new head coaches looking for their QB, there's no chance he lasts to us.

Yep, if the metric is correct

Riddick is really high on Mayfield

Mahomes is so 2017. Mayfield is the new FOTM

Ask 5: Who's most polarizing prospect in 2018 NFL Draft?

Spoiler!

MOBILE, Ala. -- Every year there are draft prospects that are really easy evaluations and the discussion about them in the draft room is brief because everyone has similar grades for the player. However, there are also players with grades that are all over the map. You could have a healthy debate about the polarizing player for a long while, and there still might not be a consensus on him at the end of the day.

With that in mind, I reached out to five NFL executives and asked them this question: Who's the most polarizing prospect in this year's draft? A couple of the players mentioned are competing here at the Reese's Senior Bowl. Here are the execs' answers.

Executive 1: Wyoming QB Josh Allen
"We've got enormously high grades and really low grades for him. There's no middle ground on him."

Executive 2: LSU OLB Arden Key
"We had guys who had huge grades on him coming into the season and they plummeted during the season. We're still trying to sort him out."

Executive 3: Allen
"The accuracy issue with him is going to be a big debate in our room. Some people can explain it. Others can't get over it."

Executive 4: Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield
"Some guys have concerns about the size and character, and some think he's a little overrated as an athlete. Other people are all in on him."

Executive 5: Texas-San Antonio DE Marcus Davenport
"The early grades were good but not great. The big grades have come rolling in later in the process. I imagine we'll have a pretty good discussion on him."

Summary: That's two votes for Allen and one apiece for Key, Mayfield and Davenport.

Conclusion: The player mentioned that I probably struggle with the most is Key. The flashes are so impressive, but there are times when he's lethargic and blends into the scenery. You expect more from a guy with his ability. For the QBs mentioned, it reinforces that the Senior Bowl is a great opportunity for them to begin to change perceptions. By the end of the week, we'll have a better feel for both of them.

That said, I still think these guys could be polarizing within draft rooms throughout the whole process. They'll have their fans and their detractors.

Good ****ing God Josh Allen is terrible. Look at this shit. Guy has horrible accuracy.

no pressure, open WR and Allen throws it at his feet. The rate at which he misses these easy throws is alarming. pic.twitter.com/yvZucgF5al

And for every deep ball like that last one that Allen completes, there's about 4 of these that miss the mark so terribly his WR has no chance pic.twitter.com/QZM8ncYNo1

"I had to put everyone on my back and say we can do this." Future No. 1 overall pick Josh Allen pic.twitter.com/102phoDlgQ

but guys, Josh Allen has a bad supporting cast. It's all the supporting cast's fault. No really, I swear. pic.twitter.com/XOGgDW9ie3

here it is again in slow motion so you can really see the extent to which he shortarms it and sails it over his WRs head pic.twitter.com/eEvosEUsp6

Sounds like a huge douche.

Josh Allen is what he is. He's a QB that has warts....but some GM will take him because of his ceiling. Allen better hope that he goes to the right team.....otherwise he's just another Paxton Lynch.

Really?

So you're telling me that accuracy CAN be improved?

This changes everything!!!

[Quesadilla Joe]

Throws like this from Josh Allen showcase his “make-up” arm talent.

Pressure makes the route timing on the deep comeback off. He’s able to adjust off pressure and throw with enough velocity to still complete the pass. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/UCQiC8RwPX
