Today on The Usual Suspects, NFL draft analyst Lance Zierlein joined Joel and Barry and shared his thoughts on Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson. Despite Allen’s big arm, Lance notes some issues with him because he processes information slowly, and has problems with accuracy. When asked about Baker Mayfield, Lance compares Mayfield to a bigger Doug Flutie, and sees some Chase Daniel in his game. Finally, Zierlein believes Lamar Jackson has even more upside than Deshaun Watson, and could become a great player if he stays healthy and shows a real love for football.
