I’d say it was more on Mahomes, Allen, and Lamar that got AR more hype to be drafted in the 1st round. Cam is amazing but NFL teams didn’t necessarily need a freak athlete QB to compete. Before teams could rely on a great defense, a solid offense, and a decent QB to win SBs and lately it’s been shifted towards needing top QB play to win and or a loaded team. Most teams can’t get a loaded team long term but they can get a freak QB long term if they can develop them.
