Top 5 QBs
#1
1. Will Levis - Easiest route to NFL. Has some bust factor if this rumored "aloof" attitude shows up in the NFL, but unlike all of the others, he already knows how to play in an NFL offense, under NFL levels of pressure, and with receivers who don't get five yards of separation on every route (see Young and Stroud). Has some issues he needs to clean up, but he has the quickest release in this class, the best arm (will throw side arm, ala Mahomes at times to fit the ball into skinny windows) and he
2. Bryce Young - If he were 6-2, 220, he'd be first on this list and it wouldn't be close. Arm, accuracy, intelligence, leadership, field vision and creativity says he hits, but the size could be a limiting factor long term. Very little bust factor though. Highest floor among QBs. Size is only reason I have him below Levis. 
3. Hendon Hooker - This is the QB I've changed my mind about most. Limited offense, but runs it well. He'll need a year or two, but I like his chances. Clean mechanically (QB guru MIke Martz called his mechanics “almost perfect.”) And in terms of character he’s top level. Compared to Teddy Bridgewater in that respect. Cris Carter called him a CEO type. And Jim Nagy compared him to Jalen Hurts. I don’t care about his age or his knee. In 3 or 4 years no one will care that he’s 28, 29. The only thing that will matter is if he's playing QB at an NFL level. 
4. Anthony Richardson - Classic boom or bust. But while his upside is through the roof, his downside is in the cellar. If he gets the 2+ years he needs, he could eventually be great. Are NFL teams that patient? Rarely. But 6-4, 244, 4.43 forty, 40-inch vert. Are you ****ing kidding me? Culpepper size. Vick speed. NFL teams will ruin him if they play him before 2025. 
5. CJ Stroud - Most accurate QB in the draft. But it’s not hard to be accurate when you’ve got one read, you have five minutes to throw and your receivers are open by 5 yards. I also don't like what's between his ears and I've been saying this since last year. The 18% cognitive score only confirms it. You can see it in interviews and in some of the decisions he makes on the field. No doubt he’s talented, and he has a chance if he can get some time to develop, but Stroud is my pick for this class’s most likely bust.

Pretty good assessment here, MB. It will be incredibly interesting to see where these QBs go on Thursday night. I don't think I disagree with any of this, especially your take on Stroud....if I was being nitpicky, I'd say your Hendon Hooker take is one I might not be completely on board with.

Thx @MB...I dont know if I rate Levis as highly as you, but I am a casual player in the draft space. 

I think we've all gotten caught-up in the QB a bunch since its so obvious the Vikings need a Kirko backfill. I'm just not convinced it'll be something they try to pull off in Rd1 vs a flyer later. 

We need us a thread on 5t's, DB's, WR and LBs!!

I think the Vikings will TRY to pull it off, but might not be able to accomplish it. I do think they'll make the effort behind the scenes, but the odds are against it as it will be an expensive endeavor from a comp perspective. Maybe if things fall right in the top 10 it could be more doable.

Even though I love Levis and would love to be able to draft him, I wouldn't favor a mortgage-the-future type deal to get him. Or any QB. Ideally, we could trade back and still get a guy like Hooker, but that seems less and less likely by the day.

My best guess is the QB's will go high as always and the price to move up to top 10 is more than we got in the purse. 

I'd like to see them get the DL out of Pitt if he's there @23.

After Young, I don't see any of the leftovers worthy of trading up for based on our lack of picks and positioning. I don't think Levis falls out of the Top 10. Hooker is the most likely option to be available at 23 unless Tampa Bay decides to draft him.

Levis odds to go #1 overall have moved from 40/1 to 4/1 on DraftKings this morning... :o

I would rank them Levis, Stroud, Hooker, Young, Richardson - I think Levis could be another Herbert and I like his attitude from everything I have seen about him, I love Hooker's work ethic and leadership, I see Young as another Tua, no way I would use a high pick on him.

I think it was my post that did it.  B)

But seriously, WTF?  Not sure what to believe.
