Mariota, Hundley and Manziel are all underclassmen and haven't decided to enter the draft yet. It's probably safe to say Manziel will, but I'm not so sure about Mariota and Hundley. Even adding those 3 into the mix, CBS Sports currently has Carr listed as the 4th best QB prospect and 15th best overall prospect. I've seen a few mocks that have him going top-10 (at least 2 of them I read recently have him going top-5). Are any of these sources (including ESPN) accurate? Who knows, but everything I've read over the last few weeks indicate Carr is moving up fast and some think he has best arm and is the most conventional as far as normal NFL QB standards. He's been white-hot lately and recently accepted an invite to the Senior Bowl, which could put him right in the top 2 mix if he shows well there. If it came down to it and it's determined Carr's the best prospect for us, I say take him. He'll get over it.
