The 2018 NFL Draft is flush with compelling talent at the quarterback position. Where does former Oklahoma State Cowboys star Mason Rudolph fit?

The 2018 NFL Draft will test the patience of general managers who need improved quarterback play. The likes of Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, and Josh Rosen are all projected top-10 draft picks, with reigning Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield possessing that same potential.

The fact that four quarterbacks are widely believed to be first-round locks is compelling, but there’s a fifth player who’s riding close behind: Mason Rudolph.

The working theory around the NBA is that four teams in the top 10 will be in the market for a quarterback. Those teams are the Cleveland Browns at Nos. 1 and 4, the New York Giants at No. 2, the Denver Broncos at No. 5, and the New York Jets at No. 6.

Also believed to be interested in a quarterback are the Miami Dolphins at No. 11, the Cincinnati Bengals at No. 12, the Arizona Cardinals at No. 15, and the Buffalo Bills at No. 21 and No. 22.

One could also peg the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 29 and the Minnesota Vikings at No. 30 as viable options for a quarterback.

Knowing that to be true, the opportunity exists for Rudolph to join the four most coveted quarterbacks in this class. He established himself as one of the most productive players in the country, and has prototypical physical measurements.

The question is: Where would Mason Rudolph fit best in the 2018 NFL Draft?
