Downtown says:

In my opinion, Iโ€™d take Jacoby Brissett over Cardele Jones. Brissett has more tape and Iโ€™ll always take the known over the unknown, unless the known is really bad. Brissett is far from bad but heโ€™s far from great. Heโ€™s got the intangibles to become a very interesting prospect. Heโ€™s not as mobile as people suggest but he stands in the pocket and delivers passes with a relatively strong arm. His arm wonโ€™t be the strongest in the draft and heโ€™s far from the accurate (59.9% career completion percentage) but heโ€™s smart football player. Until we see what he does in the combine, Brissett is nothing better than a 5th round pick. If he has a strong combine/pro day, I believe a team will take him sooner than that though.

Dorf says:

I will fully admit that I have not watched Brissett live, but only on tape (YouTube). Iโ€™m not that impressed, but then again this class is shallower than a kiddie pool on quarterback talent, so he cracks my top ten QB prospects.
