His highlights check out and look good to me. Not sure why he isn't talked about more. We'd probably want to trade up a few spots to get him.
If not Rudolph, my #2 choice would be trading up for Sam Darnold. This would be pricier, but Darnold seems like a safe pick. Josh Allen has that size and the arm, but his numbers and tape are bad. Heard he often sails screen passes. Just doesn't have any touch. Lamar Jackson is too frail and inaccurate. I don't like Rosen's attitude. Mayfield looks like Manziel. Not as far as attitude, but as far as I don't think his game will translate.
So yeah...it'd be Rudolph as my primary choice (at 21, we wouldn't have to move up much), and Darnold as the other guy I wouldn't be mad about. Poo poo on the rest.
Trading up into the Top 3 picks to get one of the Top rated QBs would cost a fortune in Draft picks over multiple years.
Would have to think long and hard before doing it, especially since the Bengals are so reliant on drafts versus Free Agency.
It will be interesting for me to see how the Poll plays out and what people on the Board would do.
Major "Cost versus Benefit" analysis when it comes to trading up into the top 3 or so picks.
