Mel Kiper mock draft 2.0

[gerontion]

1. Cle- Allen

2. NYG- Barkley

3. Ind- Chubb

4. Cle- Fitzpatrick

5. Den- Darnold

6. NYJ- Mayfield

11. Mia- Rosen

If we don't land Cousins I would absolutely love this scenario. We could choose Rosen, Darnold, or Mayfield and wouldn't have to move up to do it.

[TH3JUICEMAN]

If we don’t land Cousins, and had the choice of those 3, Darnold wouldn’t be my preferred choice.

I’d be happy with either Mayfield or Rosen

[Johnny Football]

In my opinion, this is the ideal scenario for us. I am really hoping that Cleveland fall in love with Allen, New York decide to not take a quarterback, and it leaves us with either one of Darnold or Rosen at 5, I will be hoping for the board to fall this way.

[Papa-pwn]

I would be quite happy to have our pick of the top 3 QBs, but I'm not so sure Darnold would or should be the pick

[JvDub95]

If we don’t land Cousins, and had the choice of those 3, Darnold wouldn’t be my preferred choice.

I’d be happy with either Mayfield or Rosen

Same here, it definitely would be interesting to see what QB they would take if darnold and Rosen are both there

[Endaround]

Kiper is as funny as his hair, and lately that is the only thing about him that is reliable, his hair will always be funny.

[Gbt31]

Trade down with the Jets and then take Nelson.

[broncolee]

Some people say Rosen is going to better at the start but that Darnold will be better in the long run.

I think I would prefer Mayfield.

[BlindFandom88]

I think we're the only fan base (in need of a QB) that would complain if we got Sam "the man" Darnold. The dude is gonna be an absolute stud with a capital S.T.U.D.

He might be. But, as some have pointed out, his turnovers could become an issue.

[Papa-pwn]

I think I would too.

1) Mayfield
2) Rosen
3) Jackson
4) Darnold
5A) Cousins
5B) Allen
6) everyone else

[Butler By'Note]

I think I would too.

1) Mayfield
2) Rosen
3) Jackson
4) Darnold
5A) Cousins
5B) Allen
6) everyone else

You're that high on Jackson? I don't dislike him, but my biggest problem with him is that I don't think he'll be able to play for a year or two, and I want the Broncos to figure out the QB situation this season. If they draft someone I want him to play day 1, and with Jackson I think it would be unfair to him, and to the team to play him day 1.

[Santa Clause]

Kiper didn't factor in trades though. No way the draft order in the top 6 stays the same. Multiple trades are likely going to happen. Come draft time, it will be all about moving up and getting the right guy.

[sendacash]

My issue with Rosen is that UCLA did not really win that much with him around, seemed to under-achieve. I know their offensive line was hideous and probably contributed to Rosen getting sacked and hurt a lot. I'm not saying he wasn't a team player or whatever, but they should have won more games imo

[JvDub95]
