Allen certainly looks the part at 6-5, 233 pounds, but his season has been a real disappointment from a statistical standpoint. The search for the next Carson Wentz led many scouts and reporters to Laramie this past offseason. Though his mistakes have come down a bit late in the season, nine interceptions in his first six games was a big red flag. Darnold popped off the screen in the Rose Bowl, throwing for 453 yards and five touchdowns,Р вЂ™Р’В ignitingР вЂ™Р’В eight months of crazy hype leading into the 2017 season. Part of the problem is the bar was set way too high. ThereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs no doubt Darnold will need more development, whether with the Trojans or an NFL team. Is he going to come back to school for his senior year? ThereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs legitimate buzz that he will, but itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs hard to envision a likely first-round pick passing up the money. And heР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs been productive, too, throwing for 400-plus yards four times, including against defenses with high-level athletes such as Texas A&M and USC.

The Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™Chosen Rosen,Р Р†Р вЂљРЎСљ as he is sometimes called, has incredible natural mechanics, flexibility, anticipation and zip on the ballР вЂ™Р’В -Р вЂ™Р’В aР вЂ™Р’В lot of things you canР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt teach. But when he hasР вЂ™Р’В been good at UCLA, he hasР вЂ™Р’В been really good. Rosen certainly has some things to work on, and some of his bad interceptions from his college career (and theyР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћre really bad) will be scrutinized. Though thereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs perhaps a small chance Rosen will stick around for his senior year to play under Chip Kelly, itР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs hard to envision the best pure quarterback talent in the draft would pass up being a surefire top-10 pick. Josh Rosen, UCLAР вЂќР вЂЎor a variety of reasons, RosenР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs college career never lived up to its potential from a team standpoint, which accounts for a significant part of why UCLA fired Jim Mora. His penchant for being in the middle of admittedly petty controversies like planting the flag at Ohio State or jawing with Kansas fans and making a lewd gesture will be endlessly scrutinized by NFL personnel types. But more important is how he comports himself. His sizeР вЂ™Р’В (6-1)Р вЂ™Р’В isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt ideal, though Russell Wilson has been a popular comparison for him in the NFL. HeР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs much more than moxie, but there are some concerns for the next level. MayfieldР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs numbers have been incredible: 4,097 yards, 37 touchdowns, five interceptions. The likely Heisman winner, he hasР вЂ™Р’В pretty much put the Sooners and their leaky defense on his back and willed them to an 11-1 record heading into the Big 12 title game.

But as talented as he is, there isnР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћt a lot of buzz right now that heР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћll be a top-15 pick. HeР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs clearly grown as a player, and he was already outstanding. Jackson also ended the regular season with sixР вЂ™Р’В consecutiveР вЂ™Р’В 100-plus yard rushing games. JacksonР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs completion percentage is up (56.2 to 60.4%) Р вЂ™Р’В his yards per attempt is slightly up (8.66 to 8.74) Р вЂ™Р’В heР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs thrown three fewer interceptions on roughly the same number of attempts. Though fewer people have paid attention this year for a variety of reasons, heР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs actually on track for a better season statistically thanР вЂ™Р’В his Heisman campaign. Here are the top quarterback prospects for the 2018 draft broken down not by their NFL attributes, but rather what kind of season theyР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћve had this year in college.

Even in a league starving for quarterback talent - just watch the games every Sunday - thereР Р†Р вЂљРІвЂћСћs less excitement about this group than there was a year ago.
