Yo, yo, yo, what up, homies?

0:01.2

On today's Chris Sims on Button,

0:02.9

why didn't Carson Beck and Drew Aller make my top five QB list?

0:07.1

Well, you've got to tune in and find out.

0:08.9

Is Talin Green the biggest boom-bust prospect in this NFL draft?

0:12.9

Chris Sims-on-button starts right after this.

0:20.7

I usually have a good feel of how you'll feel about a player. Yeah. I have no idea what you're going to think of Drew Aller. Uh-huh. No idea. I know. Like if he wasn't in your top five quarterbacks, I'm like, yeah, I'm not surprised at all. If he was quarterback three for you, I'd be like, I'm not surprised at all. Well, let the madness continue. You saw it yesterday. we did the top five QBs now we're going to do

0:40.9

the rest of the group and i think that's what's going to be the amazing thing as always and yeah i

0:45.6

forgot to even do my normally opening of yo yo what's up just christ just jumped right into it

0:50.7

i'm listening to myself going that's a good combo but you actually were like really locked into it and you're like, wrong. That's a good combo. Let's start right there. But what's up, dude? Chris Sims, kind of Rogers. We're here. We're ready to talk about the rest of the group, which, you know, again, I realize some of the guys that are in the rest of the group for me are going to be in the top five for other people. I understand that.

1:11.6

But I also think that's the interesting, intriguing thing of the year in the quarterback position.

1:17.2

It's just how it falls out, how the league sees it.

1:21.0

We know, okay, Mendoza and Ty Simpson go the first off the board.

1:26.2

But then after that, is it going to go into, wait, we want guys that we feel like can play the position and are going to be good in the huddle in the meeting room? Or are we going to go after guys that have some actual physical traits to be a starting quarterback and do that? And maybe they're not as smooth on film or whatever else. And I think that's going to be kind of the cool thing as we watch this unfold. That's why quarterback rankings this year more than ever need context and an explanation of like, what are you chasing? Yeah. You did the top five quarterbacks. And with Baron Morton and Joey Aguilar, you were chasing starter traits. Yes. There will be people like I have. We're going to talk about Carson Beck today. I have Carson Beck QB4 because I really like him as a backup. I think that he at Miami learns how to manage the game efficiently. I know people will think of the last mistake he made. But the whole season wide, it was like Carson Beck is settling into playing point guard, enjoying the game. Agreed. But that some teams don't care about that.

2:18.5

Exactly.

2:19.1

Like some teams won't draft a guy in the fourth round thinking,

2:21.2

and I hope he's our backup for the next five years.

2:30.9

You're right. So it's going to be about the approach. It's going to be about what the team needs. Do they feel like they need somebody that's a potential starter? or they go, no, no, we want a guy like Carson Beck who we think it's just going to be like a top-notch backup

2:33.6

for a long time and now we don't have to worry about that.

2:36.0

It'll be fascinating.

2:37.1

But, yeah, he'll be a good one to break down and we're going to do that here in a few minutes. The first guy goes the other way. Yes. Because the first Sims honorable mention is Tailing Green from Arkansas who is all ceiling and I would argue no floor. I feel like everybody thought he was going to be like my top three or four because everyone was like oh, Sims likes the physical trade guys. Like Joe, like they could be Joe Milton? Yeah, yeah. I feel like everybody thinks I'm going to do that. And listen, there's some things about tail and green. Of course you like. You do. But I do think it's still a work in progress as we're talking about the quarterback position. I mean, he's a freak of nature. Let's just start of that. He's a freak of nature looking. I mean, he looks like Cam Newton, Vince Young, Megatron, T. Higgins. I don't know. I mean, you name it. But that's what he looks at. Great legs, high cut waist, long arms, long, you know, he's long levers. Easy power in the arm. He does that. And because of the arm and the athleticism, I mean, yeah, he can he can effortlessly push the ball down the field like we talk about all the time. He can put some mustard on it. Also, you can see mechanically he's improving, but I think you can also see on film

3:46.1

that he's thinking about it.
