Is ESPN trying to say something with the graphic on their headline article?

The title says it all.  But why does the graphic include Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield (front and center) without Darnold or Rosen?  Are Darnold and Rosen the only two guys considered closer to sure things this year???

History tells us the NFL is terrible at evaluating quarterbacks. Here's what it means for 2018.

It’s definitely a tactic to imply that Mayfield (the most recognizable qb in the class) is a risk. However, the actual article looks favorably upon Mayfield. So the picture tells me that ESPN is good at marketing.

If you didn’t stray from the narrative the last 18 months, or so yes this is, and always has been the case.

Man, you're slipping off the rails. I'll buy you a beer in 246A for the home opener to get your bearings back. :P

Ah, my bad.  I do think I recall seeing the article but the graphic really jumped out when I clicked ESPN.com today.  I guess that's their click bate....and it worked on me. :wacko:
