peterman, terrell, higgins, kiel, rush all could be worth a look.

 

No to Brad Kaaya. Very poor at making decisions and this will be multiplied in the NFL. Especially when the pressure is on.

 

Pat Mahomes will be a good NFL QB. He is going to shoot up draft boards pretty soon.

 

Who is this Zak Prescott you mention twice?
Was he from the early years of the NFL that nobody remembers?

 

Thanks for list PoplarBluff, lets hope the Steeler scouts are watching/talking to a few that interest them.
Remember able to make quick decisions, accurate, can make all the throws. your on your way.

 

just stay away from josh dobbs. mahomes is the man for me but we would have to take him high and not sure its worth it

 

What is your take on Dobbs, I only saw one or two games and then the Senior Bowl practices. They hype his smarts but book smart and football smart are sometimes two different things.

If Mahomes can figure out that footwork, he's seems to have a great arm.

 

living here in east tenn I see him all the time. he over thinks everything. he is late on his reads and high on a lot of throws. we know what that means in the nfl. I would be shocked if every team even has him on their boards. he can run sure. he can throw screens. he is just way to inconsistent for the nfl game. that is my take. he isn't as good as say former tenn qbs like tyler bray or erik ainge and they didn't make it.

sometimes his brain gets in the way lol

 

i think peterman should just walk on over to our place with his stuff. i think he's tough and has the right mentality to make it here. he seems like a pittsburgh steeler qb.

 

really? has he gotten that much better cause he sucked at Tennessee. he couldn't even beat out dobbs. I know its a different system but he really struggled throwing the ball

 

he looked good in the first half of the Senior Bowl. Not a fan of taking a QB this draft, but if they do, he looked like a good prospect. Wouldn't be opposed to using a pick on him that's for sure. L. Jones re-signing has a lot of implications for this draft. Don't see how people think he is not re-signed tbh. I'm not a fan but he is a competent back up I can say that. I'm not as angry as last year lol.

 

Deshaun Watson doesn't remind me of Dak Prescott. Dak is a hoss that can absorb NFL hits. Watson is an RG3. He might be a little bit taller but about the same body type. He would have to prove to me that he is cerebral and can quickly process his reads. How that can be proven is beyond me. Also I expect D-coordinators to catch up with Dak a little bit now having an entire season of tape and the time to process it.

 

Deshaun is not the best QB in the draft. He's not even close to the most accurate.

 

I expect mahomes to go in the first round, he has the most upside in this QB class, I expect the cardinals to draft him and I dont expect us to get him unless he falls in our lap in the later rounds.......

 

With the right team this player will flourish

 

I usually don't agree with your thoughts, But Mahomes should be there at 30, I am not a big fan of big 12 QB's. But
Mahomes would have time to learn NFL system's defenses. The need is there for the Steelers.

 

mahomes will be the next drew brees
