Davenport is a tough one to judge. You can see the kid has talent for sure. At the same time he struggles to consistently perform and at the Senior Bowl struggled against the better competition where he couldn't just win on athleticism alone.

The Browns are interested trading up in the 13-19 range

Here is what I recommend you try. Stand flat on your feet. See how much you can see. Then stand up on your tippy toes and see how much of a difference that actually makes. It isn't much. Height is an overvalued part of the equation. Mayfield had a ridiculously huge OL in front of him and never seemed to have it be an issue.

He was also in the shotgun and/or running outside the pocket the majority of the time.

I never said you gain a lot by craning your neck or tippy toes, but I recall seeing Brees always looking as he was doing both trying to see down the field. Made me uncomfortable just watching, but it's likely second nature to him.

I guess to me the height thing is not a big deal. Brees, Wilson, and Keenum this past year made it work just fine being around that 6' tall range in the NFL. Obviously for some it is a bigger deal but I think it gets overblown. To me if you can play football and do it well then height falls further down the list of things to worry about. I worry more about hand size of a QB than height.

Shopson posted while he was on the clock, not sure where he ran off too, maybe he's working a trade...

Huge reaches on Mayfield and Jackson. Small reach on Allen.

Sorry, was having a crisis of conscience over Lamar Jackson. Couldn't decide if the Bills themselves would actually pick Jackson given their lack of enthusiasm for Tyrod (to put it politically), but I feel it needs to be the pick. Other value picks at 12 were all DBs for the most part, had to go QB.

I like the pick. He's a little risky but with sky high upside at the most important position. I don't think there was a guaranteed difference maker you should've taken instead.
