Bottom line, there are not 6 teams that need or can afford to take a QB in round 1.

Be curious to see who drops, ala Marino 1983, Rodgers 2005, and Mr. Bundchen

Odds are that in five years five out of the six top QB recruits will be no better than average and may have been delegated to back up status ... if still in the league. I agree with what Payton said, whether or not it was straight forward ... none of the QB's in this draft have the no miss flair of an Andrew Luck and Luck hasn't even been tearing it up.

Pretty sure Payton gave Mayfield a pair of those Black Plastic Glasses with the Fake Nose and Mustache to him to wear draft day!!

Sean is investing all his draft picks in the O-line!

So are we trading up to the second pick or something?

Besides Baker Mayfield, the rest of the QB prospects longevity in the league will be determine by the team and coach. Whoever is drafted besides Baker Mayfield to the Browns will have a max longevity in the league of 5 years at the most. Bad coach for a so called named QB whisper coach. Its going to take a QB with a lot of self esteem and dedication to survive the Browns unless the Browns make a move like the Rams. The three QBs left the Rams (Bradford,Foles & Keenum) were hot commodities this offseason and fourth (Goff) resurrected his career. It took the rams leaving ST. Louis to Los Angeles for Eric Dickerson to call out Fisher as a bad coach. Three losing seasons should do it for Hue. With that being said I think our coach is playing chess and hoping Mayfield drop to us or low enough so he can trade up and scoop him up

It's all about where players go and how they're coached. Nobody envisioned Brees would light it up like he did with Payton. Goff looked horrible until McVay came along. Foles has looked great twice in Philly under two Head Coaches and horrible in between. If the Browns take a QB, any QB, it's not going to end well. The organization is just the worst. If Jackson or Mayfield falls to and is chosen by the Saints, they will have the best chance at being great.

I'm in the minority but I really want Jackson. He is a team first player with great character and unbelievably humble. Let him sit a few years behind Brees and he will be ready. I think he is by far the best QB in the draft I just hope he doesn't get drafted by anyone in our division.

DK35 ... anything is possible & I wouldn't rule it out. A lot will depend on how things fall. The Saints want a QB but I haven't read or heard anything specifically linking Jackson to the Saints or his value vs the other "can't miss QB prospects".

Two more days ...

Side note - I'm not sold on Taysom Hill as the future QB in NO. He'll have to show a lot in training camp.

I like Jackson also along with Mayfield, the only problem I have with drafting either is that I want to see Taysom Hill. Only the coaching staff know if Taysom the future. If not, I will be find with Jackson. After last draft I wont be second guessing their choices unless Ditka is seen in the warroom

I wouldn't want us to pick any of the QB's. I want players that will contribute to more Super Bowl wins. There may be the second coming of another great QB in four years or so that can truly take Brees' place. Until then let's pick up players that have a chance of seeing the field on a regular basis. At least Taysom Hill can play special teams. That's all we'll need out of a back-up for the next several years.
