Not sure, I think he's projected as a 3rd to 5th round pick.  You know, because of height. 

That's a good point, but Deshaun Watson is 6-2 which also is "shorter" than ideal NFL height for QBs these days (not to mention Russell Wilson, Tyrod Taylor), so I  think its kind of a given that "mobile" QBs can perform without the ideal height if they can make up for it by getting out of the pocket.

(P.S. Mayfield is 6-1, by the way.)

So I assume Kaaya is headed for the PS if he clears waivers?

From Walter Football: In speaking with one NFL general manager, they said they liked Mayfield and had a fourth-round grade on him. Their team always grades quarterbacks hard, and they like how Mayfield has played this year. Mayfield could end up being a second-day pick-10/12/2017

It's crazy how NFL GM's value height so much.  I get it though.

listed at 6'1 means you are 5-11 or 6 ft

Deshaun Watson is a true 6'1 so he's listed at 6'3

Walter Football had a 5th-6th round grade on James Bradberry too.

A true 6'1 is plenty tall enough, but if you are a true 6'1 you are listed at 6'3

Fair point.  They were right on Worley though.  Had him rated low, and boy does he suck.

We cut Joe Webb for this guy that Hurney liked while he was a talk show host

 

I mean at least he's willing to admit his mistakes I guess and QBs are worth trying out

 

 

There's both stances, really

Some of you guys are smoking WAY too much pot.

Miami has beaten Bethune-Cookman, Toledo, Duke (football Duke) and squeaked out wins over a very mediocre FSU team and a 3-2 Georgia Tech squad that considers the forward pass to be a gadget play. 

They are vastly overrated.

Hurney had a man crush on Kaaya despite the Panthers scouts not caring much for him. Hurney signed him anyways. As it turns out, he wasn't very good apparently. 

I can't wait to see more of this in our GM. Ignoring all good advice and being wrong. It was so much fun last time.

So, Marty Hurney still has no eye for talent?  Shocking.

Cam and Luke say hi.

Not surprising though.  I always thought Kaaya was a bum with a noodle arm.  Still not sure what he or Gilbert offer that Webb didnt though.

Youth and the ability to develop for the future.
