Video: Prospect Debates, Don't Draft, & Draft Strategies: Going Deep w/Brandon Angelo & Matt Waldman
I don't understand why people are taking Cole Payton um at the end of drafts. Like, I mean, look, I love the athletic ability, but his arm is suspect from what I've seen. His accuracy definitely is suspect... Eagles. Eagles. That's all it is is it's that he's on the Eagles

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

Payton's arm and accuracy suspect; appeal limited to Eagles landing spot.

Fernando Mendoza does not understand why people draft Cole Payton at the end of drafts. While he acknowledges Payton's athletic ability, he criticizes his arm talent and accuracy as suspect, making him an unattractive late-round option. Payton is explicitly rejected as a quarterback prospect, with his appeal solely based on being on the Eagles; Mendoza expresses skepticism that this team context alone justifies drafting him.
