Summary

How good was Mac Jones as a rookie? That depends on who you ask. Today we bring on Chris Trapasso who watched every throw from the rookie QBs in 2021. How would he re-draft the 2021 QB class? Then we focus on Fantasy and rank them for 2022 (3:00) and get into Mac Jones's rookie season (4:00). What do the numbers say? What did the tape say? ... Moving on to Trevor Lawrence (7:45), what kinds of improvements did Chris notice as the season went on? And we debate which 2021 rookie QB has the most upside going forward (17:25), who will have the most downside based on their ADP (21:30), and who are our favorites in Dynasty (23:00)? ... Talking Zach Wilson (27:30), comparing the 2021 rookies to Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts (31:00), analyzing Davis Mills (33:55) and really getting into Mills vs. Jones. And we finish with some Dynasty talk (46:00) as Heath tells you who is moving in his dynasty rankings ...

Chris, I'm going to start with a question for you, Chris. By the way, you can follow

1:57.7

them at Chris T.R.A.P.A.S.S.O. If you're redrafting, not in fantasy, I'll look at the

2:05.1

fantasy stuff to Jamie and Heath. If you're redrafting now, if you're a GM, you're doing

2:10.2

it over again after one year. How would you draft the rookie quarterbacks?

2:16.2

The specific order would be pretty tough because none of them were really that great. That's

2:20.7

including Mac Jones. I think Davis Mills would have to go somewhere inside the first round,

2:26.5

particularly based on the fact that he played. I thought pretty well down the stretch. A lot

2:35.5

against Tennessee that did matter, he was actually really good in that contest. I think

2:40.9

Mac Jones would have to go a little bit higher. I still believe in the natural talent that

2:46.0

Trevor Lawrence has, Justin Fields, even Zach Wilson, even though Lawrence and Wilson

2:51.0

were pretty hard to watch, almost the entire rookie seasons for both of them. I would still

2:56.7

draft them probably one and two. I'm fine with being the third quarterback off the board

3:02.3

because we kind of knew he needed a redshirt season and that it was all about the future

3:06.5

for him and his running ability and the arm talent. After that, I think you could throw

3:11.1

in Mac Jones, maybe ahead of Justin Fields, but I would like to get Davis Mills into the
