With roughly 10 hours to process the selection, I have a few positive takeaways from the Mac Jones pick:

1. The two smartest football minds in the world like him.

2. The current roster is in a place where they could afford the luxury of selecting a QB who needs time to develop.
3. The analytics pretty much check out.
• Keep taking shots at the QB position until one sticks. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Kästchen mit Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Kästchen mit Häkchen">
• Don’t trade up and forfeit other assets for a what is essentially a crapshoot.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="☑️" title="Kästchen mit Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Kästchen mit Häkchen">
4. In terms of veterans to learn behind, there aren’t many better than Cam Newton.

5. They aren’t taking Davis Mills at 46 now.

6. They didn’t trade for Jimmy Garoppolo.
