Jaren Hall is projected as a 3rd or 4th round pick. What will likely drop him in the draft is his height at 6'1" (the same as Mayfield). He doesn't have the strongest of arms but can make all the NFL throws. He's got good accuracy with good arm strength at all 3 levels. Hall has excellent mobility but will also go through his progressions while in the pocket (i.e. a pocket passer first but who can run when things breakdown.).
He is considered a 1 to 2 year project which is why he is expected to drop. He would not be over drafted at 36 if he has a good showing in the Senior Bowl. He very well could be on the board when the Rams pick in the third round. He could be a value backup for years or he has the potential to develop into a good starting QB with good coaching in a good schematic offensive fit. I'd rather have Hall in the 3rd than a retread vet.
I still feel Mayfield is still likely to be resigned by the Rams. I don't think Mayfield will get the kinds of offers he might be envisioning. Carr, Rodgers, Smith, Jimmy G are all more likely to go ahead of Mayfield. Anywhere else and Baker would be looked at as more of a bridge starter than a franchise QB. The Fins are still debating whether to exercise the 5th year option for Tua. They might still try to trade him before the draft. He will have a bigger market than Mayfield as well.
Personally, I would be among those that favor drafting a QB who offers a backup option this year with starting potential from 2024 onward. Otherwise, the Rams would be wise to hold on to their first round picks pending what will happen with Stafford. Regardless I honestly don't see Stafford starting at best after 2025.
Baker still is the best option for the Rams as a backup this year and starter in 2024. Otherwise, the Rams will have to hope Stafford holds up through 2024 which IMO is a risk. And they will be drafting a QB in 2024 and hope Stafford can play 2 more years. A bet I wouldn't want to take.
