Wasn’t last year the opposite and you wanted us to go OL? Slater would have been better than Horn and possibly Fields/Wilson/Mac. You have to look at needs and value of players where you are picking. I believe our staff has already said it’s not as weak of a QB class as it’s being made out to be.

Normally I’d agree, but he actually played worse when he had time to go through reads. His best games were early when he was checking down to CMC quickly and only needing one read. In the rare instances he had a pocket he would make the worst decisions.

People that are wanting Stroud next year also need to realize the chances of us picking 1 (probably where he will go) are very slim. If Young plays great he might go 2. If we draft an elite LT and pick up a FA QB we might not even have a top 10 pick. Pick 6 seems like a good spot to draft one this year.

This class is just missing the Andrew Luck/Trevor Lawrence number one guy. It really doesn’t matter because we aren’t picking 1st. Burrow was a one year wonder with small hands and limited athletic ability, Herbert has the arm but was a bit of s letdown at Oregon, Murray was too small to play QB all these guys have weaknesses and are gambles.

Yeah in week 9 after leading the league in interceptions. He just can’t read defenses, lacks the QB brain. I think he is a nice guy, just shouldn’t be a starter in the NFL.

You can only have so many chances to flash some potential. The Jets gave up on him and we are after one year. No one else was really interested unless you believe that Niners rumor. I just don’t think that every NFL team’s staff is wrong about Darnold. I watched him make some terrible decisions with actual time to throw the ball…

It’s funny how I thought we had a terrible situation months ago, but with our OL coach, McAdoo, and our FA pickups I feel we are a solid place for a rookie QB. Not top tier, but no longer the bottom.

This class has no clear cut top QB which is good because we wouldn’t be able to get him picking 6. I would imagine our top ones are ranked pretty close together. If we have one we love take him at 6 (assuming he is there), if it’s even then you can look at trading down.

From a throwing standpoint Cam had 8 TDs and 10 INTs. He was taking goal line carries away from the RB, which is fine as that was their offense. The problem with being that one dimensional is when they had to pass it got ugly… Teams are desperate for QBs now and if he still had his ability they would be offering him contracts. He looked no better than Sam when he was throwing fit us last year.

We are so drafting a QB…

He was the undisputed starter for a stable NFL franchise. I know he didn’t have a ton of weapons, but they had a solid OL and coaching staff. It’s similar to Rivers/Wentz with the Colts. It was a weird year with Covid, but that applies to everyone. He really couldn’t stay healthy his past 3 years with Carolina before he went to NE. Cam is my favorite player, but he is no longer a full time starting QB in this league. He wouldn’t still be a FA if he was. I’m for bringing him in as a mentor/Hill type position for cheap, but that’s about it. I hope he remains associated with Carolina when he retires which might be sooner vs later.

This made him rise up my draft board.

How did Corral look???

What's a Corral?

I think you have to look at Willis as more of a Josh Allen. Raw athletic QB that is coachable with a cannon for an arm. Can he make the jump that Allen did in the NFL?? That's the million dollar question...

So if Icky and Neal are gone I would assume we go QB with Pickett, Corral, or Willis.

I’m a dirty liar… Apparently it’s at 3. The 2pm was central Mississippi time. My bad…

He isn’t an old rich (rich but not on this level) owner of a team.

I hate it when they do.

Corral had the toughest competition for what it’s worth.

He did mention straight line speed like 40 time. Stated Willis can accelerate quicker and dodge/evade quicker. It was really kind of pointless honestly…

It’s weird how skinny Corral looks but Pickett is an inch taller and only 5 pounds heavier??

Trading down is risky if they are high on one particular player. If their 3 are Corral, Pickett, and Willis and Pickett and Willis are drafted before 6 they might have to pull the trigger and take Corral at 6..
