If we see a top QB at #8 we will take it . If there is no top QB at # 8 we trade down a few spots for more picks and still get Mac Jones a little later .  Not playing Jones in the senior bowl maybe because he was dinged up gives us an edge because Rhule watched him in practice and met him up close . If we pick him it will be because Rhule believes in him .

I can see a situation where they stay at 8 and take bpa then go after Newman later in the draft to serve as a project behind Teddy this season.  There are so many ways this could play out that it makes my head spin.

This is a very reasonable take IMO:

Can he be successful in the NFL?  Yes, if he's in the right situation.  But it doesn't look like he has the tools to elevate an offense around him, and to me that means he can't be a "franchise" QB.  Honestly, I don't want to waste time with a QB that can't be that guy, so I'd prefer to avoid Mac Jones even in the 2nd round.  Now if he falls to the 3rd, the value is probably there to roll the dice and hope he can improve on those areas of weakness.

If he has elite pre snap reads, decision making, pocket awareness and accuracy he can be super successful in the NFL as his arm is strong enough.
