Some thoughts, looking at the current Consensus Big Board pre-season QB ratings:
1. Arch Manning, Texas
2. Dante Moore, foregone
7. Darian Mensah, Miami
12. Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma St.
15. Julian Sayin, Ohio St.
22. LaNorris Sellers, S. Carolina
24. CJ Carr, Notre Dame
39. Jordan Maiava, USC
48. Drake Lindsey, Minnesota
59. Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss
75. Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech
77. CJ Bailey, N. Carolina
108. Sam Leavitt, LSU
125. John Mateer, Oklahoma
141. Josh Hoover, Indiana
182. Will Hammond, Texas Tech
185. DJ Lagway, Baylor
257. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA
My Thoughts:
The more the merrier. I hope a ton of QBs go early, pushing more non-QB prospects to the Pats.
6-7 first round QBs definitely possible. Manning and Moore are locks. Mestemaker and Lindsey have size and arms. Maiava, Bailey, Sorsby and Iamaleava are toolsy. Carr, Sayin and Mensah will get lots of spotlight. Sellars, Mateer and Chambliss are wildcards to me.
Not a position for NE unless a very talented guy with upside slips to round 6 or later. That will only happen if there are major red flags (Sorsby, Iamaleava).
