San Francisco 49ers Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville. Remember when Robert Griffin III supposedly transcended the league in 2012 with his mobility and throwing prowess? His offensive coordinator was Kyle Shanahan. Hmmm. Interesting. Make no mistake... Jackson has made clear strides as a passer and often looks to prioritize throwing from the pocket over scrambling. And while he's made some mistakes, his arm strength and pocket poise are excellent, and the latter is steadily improving. Jackson would be a blast in Shanahan's system that utilizes a variety of bootlegs and rolling pockets. Jackson the first QB off the board? As Randy Moss says c'mon man! I don't see Jackson going nearly that high. Also I think Cousins is heading out to SF. That would take them out of the QB market. Quote
RavenMad Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Only 1 QB in the top 10! And it's Jackson. And the next QB taken is Mayfield! I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 or 4 QBs taken in the top 5 this year. What a stinker of a mock draft. Quote
RavenMad Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Not to mention they have us drafting another defensive player. If Ozzie is still in charge and does that Steve should fire him on the spot. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 19, 2017 Author Posted October 19, 2017 Also they have the Ravens not in the top 10. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Jackson is nice, but he is very inaccurate with the ball. Sure he can improve, Cam did and a few others have since being in the league. However, most are high on him because of his running and in the NFL, that won't last long or he won't. Darnold is showing that he needs to spend another year playing at the collegw level, no way is he worthy of a top 10 pick, not sure a first round pick right now. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 I don't think Jackson will translate at QB. I think he should be willing to play WR. Darnlod has been screwed by all the talent that went to the NFL last yr. He can't quite carry them on his shoulders properly. Quote
tsylvester Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 He played sparingly last year, only made his name for that bowl game. It is not so much a lack of talent around him as it his his carelessness with the ball, fumbles and bad decisions throwing into double coverage, bad mechanics... Quote
papasmurfbell Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 Or all the talent left and he is trying to hard. Quote
