I mean, it all depends on the board honestly. Thibodeaux seems like the biggest home run if he were to fall to 6, but I haven't heard a connection or anything.

Penning would be fine honestly. I wouldn't take him over Cross though :x

There are multiple QBs that fill all those requisites you listed. Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett, Desmond Ridder, etc etc are all high IQ grinder quarterbacks. You sort of have to be to be ultra productive in college like these guys were. Malik's coach talked about that the other day.

All well and good, but he did not do that in college. His numbers are not good under pressure, and the tape tells you that as well. Does he step up well in the pocket? Yeah sometimes. Other times he just kind of stands there and takes sacks. I'm not trying to hate on Strong, because I do like him, I just think we are kidding ourselves with the idea that he is this day one starter that is going to be an excellent passer out of the gate. He needs a year to fix things, and even then you are working with a limited upside. How a quarterback responds to pressure is huge, and Strong is a mixed bag in that regard.

Big fan. Think he can work his way up to QB1 in the draft. Reminds me of a sort of diet Mahomes. Would love to see what he does at the combine.

I love Willis obviously lol I am okay with Pickett, Howell, or Corral in the bottom of the first. I think Pickett and Corral have the highest chance of success in the NFL. Ridder has shown enough for me personally. Glass is a later round flyer, but there could be something there.

He does not do well under pressure, and cannot evade it, not a good combination. He also has shown he has trouble executing outside of the pocket at all, to include boot legs. Injury history is the cherry on top. A big pass for me, you cannot operate in the NFL as a young QB with no mobility or ability to make plays outside the pocket, it just doesn't work.

I am pretty sure he tried to push for Fields last year and regrets not pushing more now. Doubt that helps at all.

I am not entirely sure yet. I know they love Kenny Pickett. I don't doubt they go after Watson again, but I will get back to you.

Ok dude whatever you say.

So people like Igo, me, and Norris say it happened, and then Marty Hurney says it happened, but that is just fake? I guess I am not following the logic. He literally tells you he tried to move up for Greg Little. He would have drafted Greg Little at 16 if Burns was not there.

The source is Marty Hurney

Shifty text...?

Same guy almost dumped draft capital to trade back up in the 1st to nab Greg Little. Hurney was "that kind of guy" lol

I think Washington is a serious contender on any of these top QBs. I really do think they are ready to dump a few firsts and a guy like Payne on a team like Seattle or GB.

Pickett was also the most impressive interviewer at the Senior Bowl, by a wide margin apparently. It bolds well for his stock.

This was my last prediction I had Sewell > Horn > Waddle as our options When Mac dropped I thought they would go him because of the hype he got from a few different people, that was incorrect.

Well yeah, writing is very much on the wall. Which is why it makes no sense why he wasn't fired?? You are giving a lame duck coach control of this draft to try and save his butt? Potentially forcing a rookie QB to switch offensive systems and stall his development? When has a desperate coach ever made good decisions? Tepper really needed to swallow his pride and he couldn't. Absolutely embarrassing.

1. Malik Willis 2. Ikem Ekwonu 3. Evan Neal 4. Charles Cross 5. David Ojabo 6. Kenny Pickett

His season is similar I suppose.

Ehhh I did think we liked Mac Jones but idk about "completely off". This was my final say on the board and on twitter. Last time I will post this, promise lol.

Gosh I have heard such varied things on Howell. I have heard 3rd round and I have heard middle of the 1st. I think your Steelers connection is correct. I think Howell will ultimately go in round 1, maybe much higher than where he is being mocked now.

Yeah I had admitted I was totally dooped on Mac Jones. There was a lot out there about him, the team I was connected to had him penciled in at 3. Shannahan runs a great smokescreen, Rhule does not.

I have never said we are taking Willis. Willis is who I would like them to take. He is my QB1.

Ehhh, I just think Rhule is incredibly bad at keeping secrets. When this comes from multiple angles (Myself, Albright, Florio) it becomes kind of hard to ignore. Smokescreens usually fall under less reputable people (referring to Flores and Albright, not me). There is also a history of it being obvious when they are going to take someone, Derrick Brown being the obvious. I do not we would trade down and take Pickett, they would just take him at 6.
