Miami Hurricanes star-studded quarterback Darian Mensah has landed at the No. 3 spot in the latest CBS. Sports NFL Mock Draft according to sports analyst Ryan Wilson.

Mensah has been putting on a clinic for Hurricanes fans this season. As one of the most consistent signal-callers in all of college football, he is currently projected to be selected third overall by the Arizona Cardinals.

Through three games, Mensah has completed 112 of his 133 passing attempts. This 84.2% completion rate is one of the best in all of college football. He has also thrown for 1,438 yards, 15 touchdowns, and zero interceptions, while adding 79 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries.

Mensah's best outing was against the Stanford Cardinal in the season opener, where he threw for 401 yards, completing 27 of his 30 passes, which was good enough for 90% on the day and five scores. He also had a solid outing against Wake Forest, where he threw for 220 yards, completing 30 of his 34 passes. He was also named the ACC Quarterback of the Week.

According to Wilson of CBS Sports, he has Colin Simmons and Jeremiah Smith going in front of Mensah, with Smith heading to the Dolphins and Simmons heading to the Titans.

We know Mensah will be a first-round draft pick in the near future. If that holds, it would make three quarterbacks selected in three years for Mario Cristobal. He has been producing great quarterback talent into the NFL, including Cam Ward, Carson Beck, and soon to be, Darian Mensah.

Talk about fumbling 30-40 million and still having that fifth year.. Would be ultimate fumble and almost worthy of coming back under the tutelage of JT

 

Great to see Mensah as the first QB taken because he deserves it if he continues to play like he has so far .
My only complaint with this list is that I would like to see a few more Canes in the first round as well. IMHO , a deep run in the CFP (Perhaps natty #6) will open some eyes like it did last season and help as add Samson, Moten, Lightfoot and others to the first round

 

Cardinals aren't even giving Beck a chance and Brissett is just a place holder QB. If the UM payday is $8 million for Mensah this year at UM another year and another $8 million would prevent him from going to a dog **** team. At least the Browns won't be picking #1.

If he's the #3 pick in the draft, he would stand to make approximately $57million dollars on his first rookie contract, with $51million of it in the first 4 years of the deal being fully guaranteed. Plus a Fifth year option.
