Carson Beck does it for me so ...YMMV

Make sure you keep a copy of these takes for next years QB discussion 🙂

I'm not sure on him yet. On one hand, I did like what I saw from him. On the other, I get a little worried of the Mac Jones effect of so much talent around him propping him up.

Just in my opinions, I bolded guys I thought you had way too high from my end so far, and italicized guys I think you're low on. 

Also Jer'Zhan will be an interesting WR

For me, it is all based on watching him make throws into tight windows from the pocket.  He has a decent arm but the accuracy and ability to make reads does it.  To me, very much like Stroud.

Harrison is the #1 player in this draft and it is not even close.  Other than that, I agree that Kool-Aid is too high.  I think Sweat is too high as to what NFL teams value ( meaning that I think he is drafted in the 3rd round).  Powers Johnson is too low but again YMMV.  Latham may be too high for a RT.

I finally started reviewing LB tape, and started with Trotter since he was my presumptive top LB from last year, and man. It was not good. Slow, no great ability to read an offense, misses tackles.

I don’t know if I remembered him being better than he was, or if the UNC game was just a really bad one, but he looked like a day 3 guy.

We talked about him a handful in the Commanders forum last year, and I was all on drafting Barrett Carter instead of Trotter. I didn't see it. He'll probably be fine, but I didn't get the hype.
