I didn't know that Bone thanks. I feel the same way. If TM and AB like him then draft him. I don't know how he will turn out. Hopefully a franchise QB if we draft him!!!

He has only played this year but was at Alabama for four seasons.

So, games started is an issue.

This is all about evaluation. How does a college player translate to the NFL?

How do the Browns project his skills and processing into the NFL?

We cannot answer that.

I am missing something on this whole first round grade for Simpson. I think the talking heads have convinced themselves that there has to be more than one QB… similar to Sanders last year.

Alabama didn’t have a better option come in through the portal, so the guy who has been there for 4 years got the nod. He led them to a playoff, but they shouldn’t have even gotten in to begin with. Their past reputation got them style points. He was a mediocre QB on a storied college program… with a bad back…

He might still be available at pick 70….

If Monken likes him he is the one who counts.

The media is all over the place.

NFL Feedback: According to his father, Jason Simpson, every NFL general manager they contacted provided a first-round grade.

+8

I found this. But we will find out.

It will be a topic all the way to draft day.

That could be true, whether it was genuine by them or not. The hard truth is, if every team has a first round grade on him, then he will be a top ten draft pick. QBs are on a different level of being over drafted. If this is factual, he will be long gone by our second pick… in fact he should be gone before our first one.

The draft is its own animal.

It all comes down to what teams see in prospects.

The way I see it is the biggest doubt about Simpson is lack of game experience.

In addition he is not an overwhelming athlete. Nothing is exceptional.

Yes of course quarterbacks get pushed up.

My guess is he goes somewhere after 20 in the first round. The Rams, Jets, Steelers, and Browns are all teams that may take him.
