Real real early look for next year

[RealSNR]

Geno Smith and Tyler Bray > Barkley, Wilson, Jones, everybody else

WalterFootball thinks we will pick a QB at 26, and seems pretty spot on with their take:


26) Kansas City Chiefs: Landry "Lance" Jones, QB, Oklahoma

As I wrote in my NFL Power Rankings, the Chiefs have the best roster in the NFL if you exclude the quarterback position. I believe they'll win the AFC West and make the playoffs, but they'll suffer another early exit because of Matt Cassel's limitations. Here's one way to fix that.

The one thing to keep in mind, and it's something I've been saying for a while, is amazingly it's a lot easier to jump 10-15 spots into the top 10 or 15 than it is to jump 2-3 spots into the top 5.

Which is why I keep bringing up the depth of this year's QB class. If any good QB falls out of the top 5 and especially toward 10 or above, we can trade up for a lot less compensation than what Washington gave up for RGIII.

I hate you!




But you are probably right.

People hated Tannehill, but love Bray? idgi

For the record, I didn't hate Tannehill and don't hate Bray. It's just amusing.

Because Tannehill is the better athlete, but Bray is better at every other aspect of the game. And in terms of polish, experience, on-field intelligence, instincts... by the time Bray's ready, he's going to be miles ahead of Tannehill.

As I've said before, Tannehill is a good athlete, but he's going to have to win games by being a top-notch thinker. He's not elite enough athletically to win on his legs alone. From that standpoint, absolutely give me a guy like Bray who has the in-game experience that you simply can't learn from the bench.

I don't know what to think of Barkley yet as a number one over all pick. I think he has a lot to prove yet. I'm thinking his stock is going to go down some this year.

[BryanBusby]

You do know that Tannehill has a pretty good arm too, right?

Bray still has a lot of work to do on the field and off of it. Bulking up would be a good start.

It's possible, but it depends if he and USC meet expectations. Unless another prospect explodes, he'll still be the #1 QB though.

The microscope is going to be on Landry Jones too. Watching how much he tumbles in the next year is going to be fun.

Right now there's no risk that we could actually take Bray. When the draft gets closer if he's attainable by us he will be hated.

I don't get why you are comparing those two. Bray has better physical tools and has been a QB his entire career. He started as a true freshman in the SEC.

Tannehill is much more of a gamble than Bray might be if he has the junior year he is capable of.

[chiefzilla1501]

See, I know people get sick of the "wait til next year" talk, but I do think the class has a lot of potential to have a very deep QB class. I am praying like crazy that Murray and/or Bray or both end up declaring. Could Murray even hop above Barkley if he has a big season? The kid just has such a big arm, from what I've seen. None of these guys will be Andrew Luck, but what matters more isn't who's on top, but how many legit first rounders are there? I think there will be more QBs and less teams desperately competing for QBs.

You've got three guaranteed QBs in the first round. Barkley, Wilson, Landry Jones. While I don't like Jones, you hope some dumb team in front of you uses their QB card on him. One less team to worry about. What do people think about Geno Smith or EJ Manuel? Smith's had an impressive run at WVU. And does Manuel have the ability to be the next RGIII? They seem to play a similar game and let's not forget that RGIII wasn't high on radars after his junior year. Murray and Bray are cherries on the top. I wonder if this class could have 5 or more surefire first round QBs.

Love Geno Smith and what he could do this year. He's shown sharp improvement from year to year, and has shown that he's got the great arm and sharp release to go along with his athleticism.

He could be next year's RGIII. Known, but not taken too seriously before the college season. By the end of the season, however, he turns into either the king of the draft or a co-king.

we'll be picking around 15, give or take a few. Once again we won't have a shot at a good QB.

I think we'll have a much better shot at a good QB, and if we actually have the balls to make a move for once, we'll be very happy we passed on Tannehill. There are a lot of guys in this class I think who have the potential to grade out much better than him.
