Oklahoma State. Mason Rudolph . 2. player. 13. While trying to help Rivers salvage the remainder of his career, the fact is he’s running out of time. He turns 35-years old in December. There is no telling when the breaking point will come for a quarterback once he gets into the mid-to-late 30s. His arm strength isn’t what it used to be already. The time is about right for the team to start investing in some sort of succession plan. That means grabbing a quarterback early in this draft.
<p>Mason Rudolph is one of the fringe names in this class. His physical talent and productivity suggest he can be a top pick but there are certain shaky parts of his game that will leave him out of the top 32. He doesn’t work in a pro-style offense and has a bad tendency to stare down his receivers. On the other hand he’s big with a strong arm and demonstrates good accuracy and ball placement. A couple years learning behind Rivers might be the final key to him figuring it out.</p>. QB
