Darnold is one of the best I’ve seen since Goff with it. Add to it he’s younger and taller and is coming from an offense that has nfl concepts and you have to go Darnold at one.

It's just in there best interest to keep everyone guessing with them holding that pick as well. At least that's my take on the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about longevity, it’s about how far they’ve progressed thus far. Baker should be a good bit more advanced than Darnold in a lot of areas. 1 minute ago, mistakey said: sure looks like mayfield throws the ball right where it should be a lot of the time.

Darnold’s mechanics don’t bother me. He’s got a quick release and footwork can be coached. By Haley. Or Zampese. Not Hue. Never Hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is how I understand it from what I've read in the past. Maybe I'm wrong, as so many people have pointed out in this forum in the past so it wouldn't be unheard of lol.

I guess I mean less experienced than younger or a combo of both. He’s displaying great qb instincts at such an early stage in his development. Darnold is basically a natural at his position. Oh yeah we don’t have to do anything at one. I’ve heard Barkley at one, trade down from 4 and draft Rudolph at 12. I just personally feel he’s the best qb in the draft and would be the best in many of the last million or so drafts. At least in the conversation.
