I think Dan Orlovsky of ESPN was saying, I'm going to go out on a limb today and create some chaos in the football discourse atmosphere on this Monday.

And he says that Ty Simpson of Alabama said,

is the best QB in this draft.

So I just want to get your take.

Where are you with Mendoza?

Is this a no-brainer number one pick?

Do you think that's a wild take?

Are you like, no, I could actually see how someone would get there.

Where are you with Fernando Mendoza, the expected number one pick to the Las Vegas Raiders?

So you see a gap between him and the rest of this quarterback class.

Like you wouldn't be having to have long meetings inside the Raiders building saying, are we doing the right thing?

You like, I mean, what you just described, you know, I'll get to that in a second, but it sounds like you see a gap between him and Simpson and everybody else.

Well, I mean, quarterback evaluation, we can just say, it seems like it's the hardest evaluation in sports.

It's the hardest evaluation in football.

We see it every year and everybody comes up with, well, all right, I've come up with a formula.

The guy has to start this many games.

No, I've come up with a formula.

It's about accuracy and decision-making.

No, I've got this, you know, this one coach told me this about, and it's always like this scout or this great GM told me this.

And it's just like, nobody has it figured out.
