Jackson's athleticism is tempting, but successful QB's in the NFL sit in the pocket, make reads quickly, and make throws. I'm not sure Jackson can do that, because he's never hadto do that - he could always jet. In a weird way, his athleticism works against him as a pocket passer. So what are we saying - Jackson's floor is Kordell Stewart and his ceiling is Michael Vick?
I'm kind of a Tyrod Taylor fan. He's not an elite QB, but he's solid and responsible with the ball. If I were Cleveland, I would be tempted to go Barkley #1 and DE Chubb at #4. Make your team better with sure things, and let TT be a game manager for you. The NFL has a very poor history of actually identifying QB talent: Brady (sat behind Drew Bledsoe, Brees, R Wilson, Favre (traded; sat behind Majic man), Montana, Stabler were all taken after R1. For every obvious HOF pick like Peyton Manning, there is a bust like Ryan Leaf looking just as good on draft day.
Cleveland has a poor track record/luck getting a good QB. Barkley will make TT better. Cleveland fan at lunch: "I would not be upset by that."
