Bucky Brooks

Does it matter?

I mean, what does he have to do to not be the number one pick?

Oh, look, I don't think it matters now, but I think it matters for my perspective.

Like, just think about, like, all the number one picks and the quarterbacks that have been number one.

You want to see how he stacks up in comparison to those guys.

What does he look like going all the way back to Matthew Stafford?

How does he compare to Trevor Lawrence?

What are his tools and talent like compared to those guys?

Because...

There's one thing about being a number one overall pick.

Everybody expects you to be the best player in the draft class.

And whether it's true or not, there's the expectation that when the number one overall pick takes the field, particularly as a QB one, he's special.

So I want to get a chance to see how special is Mendoza.

And because Mendoza,

And knowing him and studying him, I know he doesn't have like those special tools physically.

So that means the intangibles, the other stuff has to be off the charts to warrant being the number one overall pick.

Regardless of where he goes, he's going to go number one or whatever.

But I want to see what that looks like in comparison, because going to the AFC, we know the AFC is loaded with quarterbacks, loaded with elite quarterbacks.

If you don't have a quarterback, you don't have a chance.

So let's see what he looks like in comparison with the guys that are really holding it down in the AFC landscape.
