[QUOTE="deerfanatic, post: 5804036, member: 1801"] I wouldn't have drafted AR as a qb or for that matter Levis because both looked at best pedestrian to me. Especially so for a high first round pick and many millions in guaranteed money like AR got but both have surprised me. Honestly to a lesser extent Hurts has surprised me in the same way but I viewed him as a much better prospect than those two. Do I think Joe is gonna be a great NFL qb? No. Do I think he has a super high ceiling based off of athletic ability. Yes. I know he does and so do NFL execs. He will be drafted and probably higher than most think. I think 3-5th rd. You call it a stupid decision and I think that's a silly assessment. Qb is the hardest position to project. The almost can't miss (if there's such thing) guys like a Peyton manning or Andrew Luck or whoever cost you millions and millions and if you miss it's a huge miss. A flier on a super athletic qb who has had some success in college in the 5th rd is an easy bet to take. Much less investment and much higher reward if you hit. Look at everyone's fav example Tom Brady. Look at Brock Purdy. It's different than taking a db or rb in the 5th who has not played to expectation in college. They project easier and you can find them a whole lot easier than franchise qb's or even passable qb's. To me taking Joe late is almost equal to giving a wr who was decent and has the athletic ability a free agent tryout. That being said I wouldn't draft Joe. He's still not accurate enough and I don't think he's that good at reading defenses and I think heupel had to really scale back his offensive play calling this year to try and help Joe out. Also if that was a bama guy you’d be saying someone is missing out if they don’t give him a chance and raving about his ability and how raw a talent he is.
