I see a loooooot of question marks here. A bunch of guys who would be 3rd or 4th rounders in THIS draft class if they declared this year. A bunch of these dudes are so young they might not even declare for the draft. And finally, we got a bunch of spread QBs who.... [gasp!]... need time to acclimate to an NFL pro style offense and develop the footwork and timing of taking snaps under center.
I see Sam Darnold. That's great. There's your #1 overall. IF HE FUCKING DECLARES, THAT IS. I see Josh Rosen, who looked good in 2015 but could wind up as another Christian Hackenburg who never puts it all together. And I see a bunch of dried cum with question marks, JUST LIKE THIS QB DRAFT CLASS.
Here's how Walter Football has them ranked:
1. Sam Darnold, USC
2. Josh Rosen, UCLA
3. Luke Falk, Washington State
4. Josh Allen, Wyoming
5. Jarrett Stidham, Auburn
6. Nick Fitzgerald, Mississippi State
7. Chase Litton, Marshall
8. Riley Ferguson, Memphis
COULD this be an awesome and deep draft class for QBs? Yes, absoutely. No question about it. But guess what. There's an equal chance that this QB class flames out and looks just as bad as the 2013 class, particularly if Sam Darnold doesn't declare.
People who bitch about the 2017 class don't fucking get it. They think if there's no true top end QB, that means they all suck. What do the Chiefs fucking care about the quality of the top guys in a given QB draft class? We're not going to be in a position to draft them!
Again, let me say this slowly, so the retards and assholes can hear me:
In ANY GIVEN DRAFT CLASS, the top QB prospects with the best resumes and attributes are irrelevant to the QB draft needs of the Chiefs. The Chiefs have zero shot at picking any of them. The worst teams with the biggest QB needs will draft all of these players before Dorsey can even begin to pick up the goddamn phone to call and move up.
Tell me what we gain from NOT drafting a QB in 2017 so we can draft Josh Allen, Jarrett Stidham, or Chase fucking Litton in 2018, a FULL YEAR LONGER where Alex Smith is the only fucking thing we have at QB. [Reply]
Man...I've said it before and you can all call me crazy, but the few games I watched Barkley in this last season, I shit you not, he flashed. I've never seen a supporting cast seemingly sabotage a QB the way Barkley was, whether it be repetitive drops that should have been repetitive easy catches or running for his life a quarter of a second after the ball was snapped.
Dude had his shitty moments, yeah...but he had moments where he looked really, really good...I haven't written him completely off yet. [Reply]
I'm honestly not going to be surprised at all if 2017's QB class produces far better QBs than 2018's. In fact, I'm probably going to laugh. Hard. [Reply]
Josh Rosen is already a big problem and he hasn't even declared. He's so much of a problem that scouts think he is the next Kapernick :-)

Darnold's not going to Cleveland. I'll be shocked if he declares once Cleveland secures the #1 overall pick.
What are you left with? A bunch of dudes who are no better than what 2017 produced. And in many cases, the class as a whole is much worse. Maybe it's deeper in the 2nd-5th range. But not better. I don't see how you could claim it's better at this point. [Reply]
Excellent thread. In the end I don’t think the 2018 guys will be any better than the 2017 guys. Of the group I think KC landed the guy with bigger upside potential than anyone else from either draft class. [Reply]

While the smoke is all about Josh Allen, I think Kubes talks Elway into taking Baker at 5. [Reply]
