So apparently I missed watching Oklahoma play all year, but Holy shyt, I'm reading that Joe Mixon was considered the best RB in the draft? Am I missing something or is dude really that good?

Cleveland waived Barn Yard Animal today.
Be happy to have the Jets scoop him up and solve that TE need.

My problem with Watson is more historical than about him. History tells us he will be a bust. Who is the last heisman finalist/winner QB who took his team to the national title that has been a success in the NFL? Don't say Winston cause its too soon. Cam is kind of an outlier but his career has been mad inconsistent. Plus Watson comes off more like RG3 than Cam cause like RG3 he's slight of build and has a ACL injury from college and takes brutal hits constantly.
Most guys with Watson's pedigree turn out to be busts in the NFL. The guys who become stars in the NFL have Dobbs pedigree. Good college careers but not really great in the sense of them being considered heisman finalists or winning national titles. Being overlooked fuels guys like this.
I personally would like Dobbs to go to Pittsburgh or Cleveland. Pittsburgh cause its a stable organization with tons of talent already on the football team. And with Big Ben always getting hurt, Dobbs stands a good chance of being Dak 2.0 and having instant success as a rookie. Cleveland because they got no QB and Josh could come in and play right away.
Raekwon still on the board tho

Is the kid from Washington ( John Ross' qb) rated highly for next year?
Watching Ross's highlights had me
at some of the throws he was making. I think that kid could be pretty good
That is a poor way to evaluate it. The Heisman is irrelevant because it's completely based on stats, so anyone in the right system can win it. That has no bearing on how Watson will do in the NFL, so you should instead evaluate how he moves, talks and plays on tape and in workouts rather than worrying about what awards he won.

Browning is not that great, he's careful with not making mistakes but he's not going to win you games. I could see him going high though because he has all the right... intangibles, that teams like

Browning was 2nd place in Heisman voting IIRC. If Lamar wasn't a goddamn savage he'd be talked about more. Darnold too, usc just barely missed the playoff
Browning and Darnold are both better than Rosen to me, but more importantly they're DEFINITELY better than Trashbisky and Mahomes
Honestly I don't give a shyt about that. You'll see that during next year's draft. This year I had 3 Vols in my top 10 overall prospects (Dobbs, Kamara, and Sutton). Next draft I don't see any first round caliber dudes coming from Tennessee.
My early top 10 in 2018 comprises of:
1. RB Saquon Barkley (Penn State)
2. S Derwin James (Florida State)
3. WR Antonio Callaway (Florida)
4. DE Arden Key (LSU)
5. QB Sam Darnold (USC)
6. DT Christian Wilkins (Clemson)
7. DT Da'Ron Payne (Alabama)
8. QB Lamar Jackson (Louisville)
9. RB Ronald Jones II (USC)
10. Nyquan Murray (Florida State)
43 and 9 and only losing 1 big game throughout the year is pretty great tbh wit you breh.
