I rate the Athletic, but I'm also a big basketball fan, basically all of them are excellent over there including Connor Hughes. If you're a fan of several sports its well worth the sub. Its one of the few places where they are still doing actual journalism and using the online medium to its fullest extent with video breakdowns of various plays etc. Recommended.

For me, its PManning, he was not reliant a HOF coach to make him what he was.

The same idiot who signed Bridgewater?

Basically everything you've written about Mayfield's so-called "positives" in that post is wrong. How is a 23 year old 6 foot QB without the athleticism of a Brees or a Wilson a safe pick? How is his arm strength "about equal" when his deep passes hang in the air? They also wasted a pick on him, the Giants and the Jets were never going to pick Mayfield: they could have picked him up at four. The Jets were expecting to pick Rosen but were doing backflips when the highest QB they had on their board falls in their laps at three. Then the Browns compound their mistake by picking a guy who may not even be the best corner in this class over the best pass-rusher. Make no mistake, the Browns got played by the Jets FO: weeks and weeks of chatter about how the Jets were going to pick Mayfield and he was their guy, all of it pure smokescreen. The Jets were never going to pick the 5th best QB in this class at pick 3.

Eagles show how you win and its not through coverage, its through pass rush. They passed up a golden opportunity to ensure Myles Garrett isn't facing double blocking on every down. Its an epic failure. Mayfield couldn't beat Mahomes out for the QB job at Texas Tech, a guy who went 12th in the draft at a much younger age, its arguable he's not even worth a first round grade. Mayfield is a midget QB without the athleticism to compensate: in my opinion this is a Jamarcus Russell level mistake.

Do you think the Ravens would swap Jackson for Mayfield right now? I don't think they would. The Browns have destroyed an awesome position going into the draft.
