That's a pretty delusional thing to say considering that plenty of scouts have said that he has elite traits. Moreover, he's played against more NFL-level competition over his career than any of them. I guess you know more than the scouts...

I live in Mississippi, watch most of his games and seen him in person. He is a less talented Baker Mayfield and no, he is not a starting NFL QB. And unlike you, I didn't realize this from watching a few film clips vs Vanderbilt. Sorry if you don't like it, but the truth hurts

I feel like Strong and Corral will be the best QBs from this draft when it's all said and done. 

If we go QB at 6, I want Corral.

If we trade back, I want an OL and then Strong.

Corral is a bust waiting to happen. He is not an NFL QB. Period

I realize most of the takes here are based on expert analysis of 30 second film clips, but here goes. Neal and Ekwonu are RT or G in the NFL. Cross not only excels at pass protection, but also was very good in run blocking his Fr year when MSU did not run the Air Raid offense. He is a plug and play 10 yr starter at LT.

Carolina was an 8 seed for a reason. Great run, but coaching in the second half was non existent. You call every TO you have to stop that run. Davis called his first TO when they were within a few points. Awful

 I am taking Neal if he is there

Then he can battle Moton for RT. The reason he is all over the place is due to lack of lateral movement. Is that what you want in a LT?

Cross is a better LT due to pass protection. Neal is better in a phone booth, and due to a lack of lateral quickness, I see him as a RT. I don't want a RT at #6

Qb musical chair's is almost done.. And more and more it seems like 1 of those all world Tackles will drop in our hands.. We've finally started to building and putting resources into a Oline worth being proud of.. Is it worth not finishing that process for a shiny new QB on a hope and prayer they will play past their game tape or rankings as a prospect?? Or Just take the higher rated player at position almost just as important as QB..

And I still believe a QB rated high by Chris Simms in 2020 is available and can be had for low compensation.. Still has 3 years on a rookie deal and would be rated just as high as any QB innthis draft..

Would a package of Jordan Love/Neal or Ikowonun be more a plus then Pickett/Wills/Corral??

Again if the compensation for Love is a 4th or lower pick..

Jmo ..

Win win situation.. If Love sucks. Rhule is gone and We are in position to get a better Prospect at QB next year.. With a Oline ready to dominate...

Love is worse than any qb presently on our roster.

This is almost universally regarded by scouts, NFL teams, bobble heads, draf5 guys and ex-players as being a bad QB class. 

It isn't just missing a star, it's largely missing starting caliber NFL players. 

For every one of the experts saying there are no starters in this group, 6th rounder Tom the GOAT Brady says hello. This is also the same site that screamed to the heavens that Herbert was terrible. I wish we had him now

We've looked pretty heavily into free agent left tackles.

Gotta believe they want to draft a QB.

We are one LT siging away from taking a QB. Since most agree that Pickett is the most pro ready at this point, he seems to be a safe bet

lol people writing Corral off because of the Pro day. Hilarious poo man. 

You don't get it. I'm from Mississippi and watch most of his games. He is not overly accurate and that showed today. I've said it before but his best trait is mobility but that gets you killed in the NFL. He is a less talented Baker Mayfield and we should scratch him off the list quickly. If the concensus of the board is that Pickett and Willis are not first round selections in a normal year, I disagree on Pickett, then you are looking at a 3rd round pick. Move on

QBs don't make it to a SB and another conference championship if they suck.

They do when they have physical defenses that crush their opponents. Tom Brady retired for one reason, to win it all at SF. They are that close. When TB said he would not be released to go there, he unretired.

The reason no one has traded for them is simple:they suck. And they are expensive. If we do nothing but start Darnold and resign Cam, we are better off at the QB position, are not out any more money and aren't bleeding draft picks like we have done for several years. Perhaps the best we can do, is suck it up and fall on our sword for another year.

Everyone has preferences. Some want Pickett, some want Willis, some want a LT and wait. If we get a FA LT, then I want Pickett. If not, I'm good with a LT and wait tile next year for a QB

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the FO have him above Cross due to his physicality and Cross's lack of run blocking tape. I think the "if you run 28 times a game then you win" thing is pretty dumb but if you're a big believer, I can see how you'd talk yourself into this guy. 

The Cross has no run blocking tape is lazy and stupid. He started his Freshman year in a pro style offense and showed a mean streak. Just because his last two years were in an Air Raid offense doesn't mean the tape isn't there. He is the best pure LT in this draft, period. No one is better in pass protection and he is as good as the rest in run blocking. Several others who will get drafted as LT will end up as RT or G due to lack of lateral quickness for NFL pass rushers. That's a waste for top 10 picks. Cross is a prototypical LT and will start there for some team for the next decade. 

I like everything I see. Watching this, he can make all the throws. Touch, arm strength, placement. If we go QB at 6, I want Pickett 

If we sign a LT to a more than one year contract, we are going QB. I think Pickett is the best of this year's group and also think he can be a top 10 qb

Cross is decent but he doesn't fit in with the FA moves we're making on O-line to have a mauler run game. If Ikey is still there that's hard to pass up, they probably hope to trade back a few spots to grab a 2nd to get a QB and another impact player

Cross is the best pass protector in the draft. 

I dont care who disagrees, I want Pickett. I didn't like any of the QBs last year, but Jones had a nice season. Didn't want Fields and he did zero last year. The year before I wanted Herbert when everyone on here said he sucks. He doesn't and is a top 10 NFL qb and only getting better. I'm not saying he is Joe Burrow, but Burrow was frankly a one hit wonder at LSU as well. I want Pickett.

That's fine, but most of the same people talking crap about Herbert a few years back are saying the same here.

If we sign him the OL is fixed.

Now what about QB?

Pickett

Its been reported that we like Willis the most

I'm not a fan. He has too many flaws to fix

Like it or not, we are a couple of OL moves away from drafting Kenny Pickett at 6.
