mocks @___Scene___ 16m Hearing from a source close to the Minnesota camp that the Vikings are interested in trading up into the top 10 for a shot at Anthony Richardson. They are reportedly very impressed with his combine and had a great interview with the GM, per sources. How big are his hands?

What HOF level QB has had as little or as poor collegiate QB production as Richardson?
What are they basing the “potential” on? The last handful of games?
Everyone knows the stat about the huge bust rate on college QB’s with only one full season of production under his belt. With AR, you don’t even have one great season….
I see no scenarios where the Vikings would try to accumulate enough ammunition to move up and take a chance on AR. If they do, KAM won’t be here long…

I think after yesterday it's top 3 for Richardson. The underwear olympics won’t move the needle that much.

The talking heads know that QBs are what give them views and clicks at an event like the NFL Combine. Young & Stroud are still the top QBs. Young showed up & checked the boxes that he needed to by measuring in and going through interviews. Stroud did the same by showing everyone that he's the best pure passer in this class. I'd still say it's a toss up between Richardson and Levis as far as who comes off the board 3rd.
IMO, Justin Fields was a much better QB prospect coming out of college and he went 11th.

Yeah I don’t doubt that he interviewed well. I was simply pointing out that the ‘measurements’ part might not be ‘checking the box’. That’s why I emphasized it

That’s why I emphasized it Like If you’re at least 6’2, (they really want 6’4 but they’ll settle for 6’2) then that would check the box. 5’10 is not ‘checking the box’

So, though he is undersized at 5'10" and 204, it is not nearly as bad as many thought it would be.

I take all this combine hype/runout stuff with a grain of salt. If memory serves me all the buzz following the combine last year was what a huge showing snd great interview Malik Willis had and how he was racing up boards and could be the 1st QB taken. People on here were clamoring for him.
Remind me at what pick was he drafted??
Now having said that, I actually think AR15 fits Keese’s profile to a tee. He loves to draft players who are raw with huge upside and great measurable sand trusts his coaches can coach them up. That is AR15 to a T. Last year he traded down 20 spots in the 1st and passed on a TON of quality talent to draft a project in Cine and did so with limited compensation to do so.
I don’t think he is a good fit for KOC’s offense, but if you can teach the kid how to read a defense and improve his mechanics to improve his accuracy….well you might have a great QB. Unfortunately…. Accuracy and reading a defense are the 2 most important traits a QB can have. Have a lot of people in or headed to Canton that couldn’t run 4.4, jump very high and only had average to above average arm strength but the all could read defenses and be accurate with the FB!

Josh Allen... Simple answer is Josh Allen. Guy with all the measurables but wonky accuracy and limited reading skills in college hit it big in recent times. Guys like this flame out more often then not, but if you get it to work well...

You raise a good example, but it took most of Allen's "cheap" years to make him into a top NFL QB vs a giant RB who could throw some.

Jack Sperry @jack_sperry 11m Jaxon Smith-Njigba has a brother that plays for the Pirates. Safe to say he'd like to be a Steeler. Maybe his brother would like to be a Twin?
