I know its the last thing we would discuss here but I'd like to hear thoughts...

My top 5: 

Mitch -

Watson

Webb

Kizer

BUST:  Mahomes

Sleeper:  Kaaya

And I don't see much difference between Chad Kelly and next yrs golden boy Sam Darnold.  Just don't.

Mahomes is trash. So is Kizer. Great arm talent, no QBing ability. Every Texas Tech QB puts up amazing stats in college.

Watson is a gamer. His sporadic accuracy scares me, but the guy just wins.

Trubisky only having one year of starting experience is a little scary, but his accuracy is unreal. The guy drops dimes. 

Watson or Trubisky will be the best of the bunch. Despite his inexperience, I think Trubisky is the safest QB pick of the draft. I could see Watson being another Russell Wilson or another The Golden Calf of Bristol. I kinda think he's boom or bust.

Mahomes and Kizer are damn near guaranteed busts IMO.

Mahomes is quite literally the only guy in this class who may have potential to be a tier 2/1 QB. All the rest are foundational signal callers rather than those standing out.

Too many people fall in love with the big arms. You don't have to have that rocket arm to be an elite NFL QB. Sure, it helps, but it's not a requirement. Peyton Manning, Brees, nor Brady ever had great NFL arms and only one of them was a 1st round pick.

Not just his rocket arm. He has the tools to be real good.

Maybe he's the next Aaron Rodgers. That guy who breaks the mold of coming from a program that grossly inflates college stats and still goes on to have great NFL success (it is worth noting that Cal didn't run the air raid offense during Rodgers' college tenure). But, Texas Tech is even worse than Cal in that regard. Everyone looks like a future HOFer at QB when they're playing at TT. Guys coming out of that air raid offense have a hard time adjusting to the NFL. They've never read a defense pre-snap. They've never led a pre-snap huddle. All they no is go, go, go, hurry, hurry, hurry, 4 and 5 wide sets, get the ball out as quick as possible before the defense knows what hits them. It just doesn't translate to the NFL.

Nick Foles is probably the best NFL QB to date to come out of an air raid style offense and even his success looks like it was likely just a flash in the pan.

Notable busts include:

Tim Couch, Brandon Weeden, Kevin Kolb, Geno Smith, and John Beck. Quite possibly adding Jared Goff to the list soon.

Yeah but I can easily fire back with Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck, Derrek Carr, and even our own Cam. Arm strength is definitely a big plus in the NFL. Most of the top qb's have strong arms and the rest are at least above average in that regard.

Kaaya is garbage. Sleeper my ass. I wanted to believe in him so much but after we lost to FSU for third time because of his inability to handle the pressure and make the throw, I accepted that Kaaya is at best a back up at the next level.

Trubisky has all the tools and seems like the most accurate QB in this draft class but Watson is just a fugging gamer. I think Watson would benefit from a West Coast/Read Option offense similar to the one The Chiefs employed for Alex Smith. Trubisky, however, has a bigger arm and is more accurate so he has more options. He just better go to a good team who knows how to develop QBs because he sucks at diagnosing at what opposing defenses are throwing at him.

Ok, Kaaya is shat.  I stand corrected.

Glad we dont have to make this decision.  I remember the Matt Moore days.  Ugg.

Or Rodney Peete for that matter...

Watson wins games.

I've mocked him 1 to the browns before and they spat all over it while claiming he couldn't handle the cold weather.

I dunno if he is over Garrett, but he is a winner at the most important position on the field.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
