Without specifics this discussion is a bunch of spit in the wind.

The tone and approach to asking a tangential question is strange to me.
I'm not sure why you think it matters who I would have picked. The FO didn't pick any of the QBs and they had a chance to pick any of them except for Winston and Mariota. But even though I've already addressed

At the bottom of round 3 they chose Matt Jones at pick 95 by their next selection at 105 it looked like Bryce Petty was gonna fall into their laps but the Jets traded up to get him at pick 103. Round 5 they chose Martel Spaight (who I think is a stud btw, he's one of the guys I wanted in this draft and mentioned in the draft thread) over Brett Hundley.

...I do like to talk about both football and QBs and I'm bored so...all the QBs have some strengths and weaknesses. On the whole I think the difference between the QBs and prospects as whole is overestimated or overstated. Teams rank the QBs and the actual difference in skillset between the QB1 and an UDFA isn't as large as the difference in draft position and perception its why there are UDFA that make teams over draft picks every year and its why some #1 overall QBs bust out and some UDFA QBs are borderline HOF.
Enough of the preamble. The QBs I liked for Jay are Garrett Grayson, Sean Mannion, Bryce Petty (would have been hella awkward though w/ Griffin lol) UDFAs (or select in the 7th round) Shane Carden and Jamiel Showers
