2018 Quarterback Class

Just yanking your chain, Irish.

Your post about Allen just sounded a bit too familiar to pass up.

 

Tim can I ask how your grades this year compare historically? Is that Rudolph grade really high for your QB1? Is there typically more than one QB with a grade around 900? There has been a lot of discussion around the idea that not every class can be 1983 or 2004 but my eye tells me this class has some very good QB prospects in it. Just wondering how this class compares to some of the more recent ones.

 

Top 15 since 2012 -
Rk Player Team Score
1 Andrew Luck Stanford 958
2 Russell Wilson Wisconsin 952
3 Patrick Mahomes II Texas Tech 950
4 Jimmy Garoppolo Eastern Illinois 927
5 Mason Rudolph Oklahoma State 926
6 Jared Goff California 925
7 Sam Darnold USC 924
8 Jameis Winston Florida State 913
9 Teddy Bridgewater Louisville 910
10 Josh Rosen UCLA 907
11 Marcus Mariota Oregon 904
12 Baker Mayfield Oklahoma 904
13 Mitchell Trubisky North Carolina 904
14 Carson Wentz North Dakota State 902
15 Robert Griffin III Baylor 898

If I can get the extra time over the next couple days I'll post up everything I have since 2012.

 

Thanks Tim very helpful to contextualize. Also seeing those grades on Wilson and Garoppolo is interesting. So the NFL just missed on Wilson but people who were paying attention could see it...

 

Wilson was never going to be drafted in the first because of his height, but he never should have slid all the way out of the second.

I still can't see where the devaluing of Jimmy G came from. I want to say there were a couple people here that agreed with me at the time, but I don't remember seeing him as the top ranked quarterback in that draft class anywhere other than here.
