    Sounds like an idea to me....except...as you know, a few services...or at least one...had Rudolph the best prospect...so by a certain point of view...he would not be a Bargain Aisle pickup.

    Actually he is Gip- I've said a bunch of times the CBS ranking is an outlier.  CBS hasn't yet moved Orlando Brown out of their top 10 prospects after that horrendous combine showing (Walter Football dropped him out of the first round) and are still showing Rudolph as the #1 qb, (Mayfield ranks as their #35 prospect). Tells me whoever is doing the CBS rankings doesn't know their azz from a hole in the ground. nfl.com has Rudolph as the #6 qb, along with the likes of Mike White and Luke Falk. 

    I'll trust Jeremiah's rankings (you know- the guy who used to be a pro scout) as not in the top 50 over some bozo at CBS with Internet access. I could come up with a better ranking without trying too hard.

    Or....maybe they are the ONLY ones who know their arse  from a hole in a ground.  (see my 2012 example, Rudolph, White, Falk may prove to be the best of this year, like Wilson, Cousins and Foles that year) 

    I bet you that I could come up with a better ranking than  Jeremiah, Kiper, et al.  

    How about this:  I will make you this wager.....that after 3 years  Rudolph will have proven to be the best QB of the bunch that are up this year. A bottle of your favorite $25.00 wine.   I can't afford any more...and you can still get plenty drunk on a $25  bottle.

    OK You're on. $25 bottle of wine it is...  But I'll let you reconsider after you take a look at their rankings- they are, IMHO pure dog poop.  Whoever did those ratings was on some powerful hallucinogens.  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/prospect-rankings/

    Here's the LOL report from CBS, starting with Rudolph at #10. Lamar Jackson rated ahead of all the other qbs? Orlando Brown at #5? He'll be lucky to get drafted in the 4th round now. You know I don't like Josh Allen much, but the #116th prospect? Really? One spot ahead of my BHS alum and Ohio State product Jerome Baker.  That, I agree is accurate for Jerome at #117.  🙂   

    I'll even double it up- no added investment from you. (as far as where they will get drafted). I'll take the first round- #1 to #32.    For every slot a player gets drafted CBS vs. Jeremiah. CBS has Nelson at #3. If he gets drafted #3, that's a 0. (Correct).  They have Saquon at #7. If he gets drafted #2, that's a -5.  Rudolph #10, gets drafted #32, that's -22. We'll add up the minuses and see who's closer. I have no doubt I win, because Allen is going to be around a -100. Brown probably will be at least a -50.

    No....no added bets.  After 3 y ears, if Rudolph is not the best, most productive QB of the bunch I will owe you that $25.00 wine.  

    Your add on talks about where/when players are drafted compared to the CBS rankings.    I am not going by that.  I am going by pure performance over a specific period of time of one guy.    I am basically saying that this could be  2012 territory.....where the top 4-5 QBs all perform below their draft position....and where the 5th/6th guy actually ends up being the best of the bunch.

    Of course, watch something like this happen:  Rudolph gets taken by the Steelfreeks...and BR goes down...he comes in plays lights out for their sorry arses.  And my consolation for that would be a bottle of wine?  OK, would need it to get wasted on if that happens.

    (and hell....maybe Allen will be Brandon Weeden Jr.....to where that 117 rank is even too high)

    While I wouldn't say he is top elite as a lot do, Luck is better than Foles or Cousins when healthy. A lot better. Foles had a GREAT year and then what 3 games in playoffs (one which wasn't spectacular). But he won a Super Bowl. So if you go by success by winning, then Luck has been more successful that way than Cousins.

    Those 2 guys have 1 thing each over Luck, and 1 thing in common.

    In common- better health.

    For Foles- he has been more successful in Philly, everywhere else he is Josh McCown.

    For Cousins- he will have a bigger contract. FOR NOW

  • How about this:   Go for  a combination of Chubb/Fitzpatrick/Barkley/Derwin James 

    ...and leave the QB position for round 2...and pick up Mason Rudolph? 

    I mean...this draft could end up being like 2012....when it was not really the top 5 QBs who came out best that year...but the next 3:

    1 Indianapolis Colts Andrew Luck † QB Stanford Pac-12  
      1 2 Washington Redskins Robert Griffin III † QB Baylor Big 12 from St. Louis [R1 - 1];
    2011 Heisman Trophy winner [N 2]
      1 8 Miami Dolphins Ryan Tannehill  QB Texas A&M Big 12  
      1 22 Cleveland Browns Brandon Weeden  QB Oklahoma State Big 12 from Atlanta [R1 - 12]
      2 57 Denver Broncos Brock Osweiler  QB Arizona State Pac-12  
      3 75 Seattle Seahawks Russell Wilson † QB Wisconsin Big Ten  
      3 88 Philadelphia Eagles Nick Foles † QB Arizona Pac-12 from Houston [R3 - 10]
      4 102

    Washington Redskins

    O

    Kirk Cousins † QB Michigan State Big Ten

    Amazing how these drafts can turn out......and with the most important position on the field.

    I think this draft is loaded with "non-quarterbacks", well maybe great ones.

    Luck, yes, no one would argue that......but the next 4?   including RGIII and Weeden and Osweiler etc.   Foles/Cousins/Wilson followed all those guys.

    Can't argue there, but the point was you said the best over the top guys, minus Luck yes.

    Well...apparently there is a fag on this board that says that even Luck should not be included as an exception. 

    But, we do know just a few things:

    The 6th and 7th QBs picked in that draft are the ones to now have started and won a Super Bowl Game.  And the 8th QB taken is set to becme the highest player ever in NFL history, apparently.

    So...maybe the actual best QBs that will come out of this 2018 class could turn out to be Rudolph, White, Lauletta etc.

  • Well with Kizer gone the BROWNS are officially in line for a backup QB.

    SO #1 is ? #4 is ?

    That is actually usually the cause....probably 99%.   The only alternative causes that I know of would be an asteroid landing in the ocean......or a volcanic eruption that results in a landslide into the ocean.

    I mean....let's face it....in how many years has it been that it is NOT the first QB taken that ends up being the best of his draft class? I would say well over 50% of the time.
