The QB position

[wolfkaosaun]

While I would have LOVED Lamar Jackson in the 1st round, it's understandable as to why they went center in the first round. There was a run on interior lineman and this year's interior lineman class was one of the best it's been in years.

Which is why I'm also a little peeved as to them not drafting any other offensive lineman until the 7th round.

As for QB, the Browns had their choices and went with Mayfield. Tyrod Taylor is a serviceable player who doesn't make mistakes, but also doesn't really make throws. I'd take Dalton over him. But would also take Taylor over Barkley (easily).

I wouldn't trust this coaching staff with Lamar Jackson. Just wouldn't. I like him a lot though. Just unsure how he will fare with the Ravens offensive coordinator as well.

Mason Rudolph was my 5th ranked QB. However, I'm 100% fine with the Steelers taking him. While people bring up the deep ball with him, he doesn't really have a strong arm. He lacks velocity and balls will sail on him. He's not like Ben who can improvise if the pocket closes or if he must escape. Rudolph HAS to be on schedule or else he's going to make mistakes and get out of a groove. If he's hot, he will do well. But once you disrupt his rhythm, Rudolph's play drops dramatically. He was also a 1st read quarterback and won a lot by just throwing 'go get em' passes. Now while Ben has done that with Brown and Bryant before, Bryant is already gone and that team is covered in drama.

I would have preferred drafting a backup quarterback, but the Bengals weren't going to get a quarterback that would be better than Dalton outside of Jackson. And even then, I can guarantee Jackson would fail in this system because Marvin doesn't play to his player's strengths.
