One of the more intriguing QBs in the draft. I’ve been looking at FA QBs and mid-round QBs that can come in and compete with Dak since we certainly aren’t drafting one in the first or second.

The only thing about Gardner is, some scouts are high on him so he may be taken higher than most mocks are projecting him

He’s accurate, completing 70% of his 600 attempts, and I think he has better wheels than his rushing stats indicate.

I like Tyree Jackson out of Buffalo a lot.



TYREE JACKSON, BUFFALO
Measurables: 6'7", 245 pounds
2018 stats: 159 of 280 (56.8%), 2,227 yards, 23 TDs, 8 INTs


Why he’s on the NFL’s radar: Just look at those measurables. The comparisons to Cam Newton on the basis of Jackson’s size alone will be obvious. He isn’t overly accurate with his big arm, but Jackson has led the Bulls to the top of the MAC at the helm of a high-powered offense. He can run the ball, too, although that part of his game has been dialed back the past two seasons. Jackson is one of the Group of Five’s most interesting prospects right now.


Perfect for teams who... are patient and willing to work with Jackson on his accuracy.

Highlight you need to see: His actual rushing yards may have dropped, but Jackson is dangerous with his legs behind the line of scrimmage.

Think he could be had in the 4th / 5th / 6th, and be a steal.

I know its against board rules to revive year old threads, but yes, it would've been nice to have used a 6th or 7th on this guy.

Good for him that we didn't though
Will be interesting to see what happens in Jax when Foles comes back next year

If he plays at a high level all year, I think you have to go with Gardner. Eat the guarenteed money and trade Foles. You could probably still get a very good pick for him, which would help negate the cap hit on trading Foles

I remembered him from this thread when he got in the game against KC. I’ve really enjoyed watching him

I think you bring em both back next year
Plenty of QBs have a good year and then fizzle out
Now, if he plays great in TC guy make Foles available
