Ravens Ring of Honor
I'm not really a mock draft fan. I like rankings a lot better. So I have decided to post some of my rankings here. I hope you post yours below.
QB:
1. Rosen
2. Mayfield
3. Jackson
4. Darnold
5. Allen and Lauletta
In general this QB draft class is very intriguing: 1. unusual depth and 2.more potential franchise QBs than in the previous years and 3. a wide spectrum of different QB styles and types.
I can only grade the player and not the character.
Rosen is far ahead of everyone regarding the technical and mechanical standpoint and especially those 2 points are some of the most difficult things for a Qb to learn given the game’s much fast at the NFL level and because of stronger competition.
Mayfield progresses through his reads and operates well against pressure, but you need to adjust your offense to fit his playingstyle.
Jackson’s the most electrifying QB, he’s basically like Mayfield his success will depend on scheme. You have to incorporate rpos and zone reads. People underrate him because they think he’s a scrambler but 73% of his runs were designed runs. He played in an erhardt-perkins offense. so he knows option routes and complex reads. But he has to fix his footwork: his legs are too close together.
Darnold is a difficult case. I don’t buy the hype. Highlights and chaotic plays he’s got all of them. True gunslinger. shaky footwork and stevie wonder reads. He can fix his problems and the potential is obvious. But I don’t see the clear cut nr1 overall QB.
Allen: He’s a project. AA+ and most natural talent. But his accuracy is inconsistent at best. Too much off-script. He needs time and I don’t draft any guy who needs time in the 1st round. But he isn’t as bad as most of his critics say.
Lauletta I haven’t found much tape on him. He’s the smartest QB in this class. Accuracy is ++, quick release. But arm talent limits scheme. I think he’s ready to start by mid-season. Huge steal.
Rest of it in Mayock style:

1.Barkley
2.Guice
