CJ Bailey needs to come home

He's way better objectively than most of your list, and a much higher ceiling. The fact remains he's the best combo of size, athleticism, and accuracy of any prospect you listed. Needs to cut down the INT's, And yet his QB rating is higher than most.

CJ may not be my top guy when the dust settles, but it's kind of crazy folks don't think he isn't in the mix.
QB rating is literally the second worst QB statistic ever, after Completion %. Anyone who uses QB rating as any justification of anything is crazy. EPA would be like 5x better. Adjusted EPA with like CPOE would be 100x better.
 
After the resurgence of Daniel Jones , Darnold, Mac Jones ( to a degree) , Baker Mayfield and others it’s safe to say my theory “situation being as important than talent” is looking true ( I trademarked that years ago).

It’s funny when qb’s come across Andy Reid , Mcvay , Shannahan and Kevin O’Connell they magically get better. It’s voo doo. Then put any qb in a situation like the current Titans and they’d fail. There’s very few talents coming out now that can overcome a bad franchise and coaching.
I mean yeah situation is the most important - but it's not even neccessarily about the talent situation (though I'd say OLine is most critical). At the end of the day 95% of teams drafting top 5 are bad teams. Its the situation regarding Ownership-GM-HC competence and alignment that is truly critical. There is a reason the Jets and Browns kill Qbs. Its because even when they get a competent QB they have him play injured and then ship him off (Baker) for a guy that just exposed himself to 30+ masseuses and didn't play for a year... oh and gave THAT GUY a fully ******* guaranteed contract. They are incompetently run. They have no patience...

The other critically overlooked thing is simply experience. The guy that started 3-4 yrs in HS and put up great numbers, then started 3 years in College where he had 1,800+ dropbacks, then was given the opportunity to have 3,000+ dropbacks in the NFL... well suddenly those guys have put in their 10,000 reps at the position mastering their skill, which finally allows their actual talent to show.
 
Wish we tampered for him before duke offered a crazy bag

A lot of these dudes don’t watch football outside of Canes or ACC ball. If they think Beck is bad, holy ****. Bro is an int magnet that’s inaccurate AF.
His QBR is 58 and he has almost as many INT’s as TD’s. Granted, the O-Line and play calling have been pretty bad for them, but I tend to come down on the side that Sellers is overrated more so than a diamond in the rough who needs a change of scenery.
 
Here's what I'll say: there's a reason why Sellers would be in the Portal and not the NFL, and there's a reason why the NFL is watching him so closely.

High-risk, high-reward. I'd roll the dice because he has great character.
