yep, I said..
There are possibly 6 teams in the top 9 selections who could select a QB.
Good chance 5 could go in top 15, wouldn't rule out 5 in top 10.
Lawrence/Wilson/Fields are basically locks for the top 5 if not top 3. I'll be shocked if all those teams with shit qb's pass on Jones/Lance
Brady, Manning and many others could not scramble. I’m not saying Jones will be anywhere near their league, but when they have the natural instincts and pocket presence to anticipate coverages and hit guys in stride with pinpoint accuracy quickly, before the pocket breaks down, they didn’t need Lamar Jackson’s legs. That stuffs QB either has or he doesn’t. Jones seems to have it.
I don’t give a shit about his speed. Mitch could scramble, yet he has awful pocket presence and can’t read defenses. How’s that work out?
Pocket presence is all that matters. It matters more than scrambling and mobility. The greats got it in strides. If you can navigate a pocket and make throws under pressure you are a good nfl qb.
Mobility is heavily heavily overrated, especially in today’s nfl.
