    I think I’m a bit more well liked than you give me credit for. Key word: awesome.

    Mel Kiper has the Falcons taking Zach Wilson at 4. Interestingly, he has Fields mid-first round.

    Fields mid 1st Rd? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔.............. He (Kiper) know something noone else does? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Okay, Okay YES, he does do this for a living but.......... Fields lasting to between pick 14 and say17? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Nah! NO WAY, he drops past 4 and should go 1st overall IMHO but whatever. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Mel Kiper man!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 GTFOH!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

    Mac Jones would be a good value pick maybe between rd 3-6 ala Jake Fromm to develop him as a quality backup and maybe even a future starter. I thought people were way premature (And I was right obviously) to anoint Bryce Young as the heir apparent to Tua when Mac had such a strong showing at the end of the 2019 season and had paid his dues behind Jalen and Tua

    , I knew then that Mac was gonna b their guy in 2021 AND BOY did he deliver. But for someone, ANYONE to suggest that he's a better prospect than Fields........?🤔🤔🤔🤔Now thats 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But hey these are some of the same type of people that thought that it would be a good idea to pick Mitchell Trubisky over Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes and how is that working out?

    Bro, whatever you do for a living, don't give it up to become a GM. You're about 20-30 years late in questioning Mel Kiper. I think the Giant's GM did that back in the day when he said "who in the he!! is Mel Kiper". I wondering if you might enjoy fantasy football more than the real games.

    Or it could be said he’s the first QB since 91 to have a receiver of theirs win the Heisman. And Mac lost Waddle, which definitely helped Heisman stats, but made for even a more impressive duo considering everybody knew where Bama wanted to go with the ball. Nobody has been able to stop Mac Jones since he became a starting QB.

    You’re forgetting that stout OL and Najee Harris. Mechie is no slouch either.

  • BumBum Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    I’m not forgetting any of that. Great players everywhere at Bama of course. And Mac made all his teammates better after he became the starter. He could not be stopped, even the Auburn game he lost went back and forth all game and he put up 45. This season nobody had a chance to keep up with the Mac Attack. I like his attitude the most, I think he’s made to be an NFL QB. He’s a silent killer. Perfectly happy with his receivers being the stars.

    That’s all well and good, but Tua put up similar numbers when he was there and he hasn’t impressed so far in the NFL. I currently don’t see much in Mac to make me take him before Lance or Fields.

  • BumBum Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    This ain’t about Tua. Who’s Lance? If he was the best QB in college football I probably would have heard of him. The other guy couldn’t keep up with the Mac Attack. Next?

  • KaseyKasey Posts: 29,697 mod
    1. it kind of is. They played the same position at the same school with (most of) the same players. Put up similar stats. What does Mac bring that Tua doesn’t?
    2. Trey Lance. Remember the name. He plays for a smaller school but I’d be willing to bet he will have the better career than Mac Jones. If he was at a bigger school you might’ve heard of him. For me he’s the best QB in this draft not named Trevor Lawrence. And if he’s there for the Falcons at 4 they’d be fools not to snag him.
  • donmedeirosdonmedeiros Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭✭✭ Graduate

    Was Brady the best QB when he was drafted in the 6th round? Few had heard of him. Doesn't matter whether you (or I ) have heard of Lance. NFL scouts have heard of him. Not many had heard about Jared Allen out of Wyoming or Carson Wentz from ND but NFL scouts had. Not sure how definitive your evaluation is if you've never heard of guys who are likely 1st or 2nd round picks.

    I see where in one mock draft they’re showing the Falcons picking North Dakota States’s Trey Lance. That would be just about par for the course if Falcons actually did choose Lance over Mac Jones or Justin Fields. A little bit of bias here, but wouldn’t it be a good idea to trade our first round pick for Stafford who has proven himself in the NFL and would be ready immediately? That would remove the risks of whether one of the draft picks would ever work out, ESPECIALLY Trey Lance.
