Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
You know who I’d draft but look at the QB age of the 8 teams left.
AFC
Allen 24
Jackson 24
Mayfield 25
Mahomes 25
NFC
Brady 43
Brees 41
Rodgers 37
Goff 26
Next year the league moves to a 17 game schedule. With 1 preseason games and a playoff game that’s 19 games for a QB.
Youth will play a factor more and more in the NFL for durability and stamina. Only Brady and Rogers played all 16 games for QB’s on the NFC side.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
I would take Allen first, and Darnold last, but I can't decide who I would take 2nd. It would either be Mayfield or Lamar, that much I can tell you!
This would seem to bode well for the future of the AFC.

I think it already is.
one thing this highlights to me is the way that College football has changed to a pro-style passing game. QB's are now expected to be able to make the transition immediately.
Josh Allen
Baker Mayfield
Lamar Jackson
Sam Darnold
interesting to this discussion is that two of the starting AFC QB's were unable to finish their games. Jackson is out because his Team lost, Mahomes will most likely play but he really had his bell rung. one thing is certain in the NFL, when you have a shot at the Super Bowl it has to be an "everything you have" effort. there's no guarantee you'll have a chance again.
as fans, we always assume our Team will be back........................not so. the Seahawks with Wilson had their shot and are now struggling to get back and win a game. the Ravens and Jackson need to make some changes to enhance their Offense or they'll probably suffer the same fate. I said earlier in the season in another thread that the Kansas City Chiefs were one play away from being a .500 Team --- yesterday that one play almost eliminated them from this year's Super Bowl hunt. in the same game Baker Mayfield and Cleveland had their first shot in a generation and fell short. will they have another shot??? maybe, maybe not.
now the chance hangs in the balance for Josh Allen.
Now that the Browns are out I would like to see the Bills win it all and make up for those years of frustration. My apologies to Bills fans. My teams seldom win.

Let’s have this discussion of the 5 QB’s drafted in the 1st round of the 2018 draft.
Contract time. Your the GM. Go!
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
1st pick Baker Mayfield
4 years $30M a year?
2nd pick Sam Darnold
Keep him on his rookie contract one more year.
3rd pick Josh Allen
10 years $400k
4th pick Josh Rosen
Nothing
5th pick Lamar Jackson
Tricky huh? Keep him one more year on his rookie contract or sign him??
I say one more year
Put your GM hats on and what do you do with these 5. Ok 4.
