coming up

Accuracy is a huge issue with him. What are you talking about? He is a one read, take off running type qb that takes way too many sacks. Physically he is talented but damn that doesnt deserve a top 10 pick imo. Way too much work to do.

He is probably just a major PITA and headcase behind the scenes

no

Pure pocket passers are still winning in the playoffs and still winning super bowls

You're not wrong, I just think the value of a "running qb" is extremely overrated.

Last 5 years playoff qbs on final 4 teams: 2017: Brady, Foles, Bortles, Cousins 2018: Brady, Mahoomes, Goff, Brees 2019: Rodgers, Jimmy G, Mahoomes, Ryan T 2020: Allen, Mahoomes, Brady, Rodgers 2021: Jimmy G, Burrow, Mahoomes, Stafford I count one "running" qb out of 20 potential spots. I think running qbs are just shining toys but when the rubber meets the road in the playoffs defenses can scheme for them and shear arm talent and accuracy win the day.

6'3 225lbs 4.4 40 Rocket arm Great stats vs top of the p5 teams I just dont get the appeal of drafting willis when we past on Fields last year. I think you guys are just chasing your tail here. Add to the fact that he is universally slated to be on the bench for a season at the very least. I just dont see Rhule going this route

Cool story

Slater for me but I would have been content with Fields. Still think he is going to be really really good

This is where I keep coming back to. Why pass on fields last year?

The Lions’ approach everywhere else would suggest they’d argue for the former, more patient route. Brunell, for what it’s worth, was a 52 percent career passer in college and at 59.5 percent as a three-time All-Pro in the NFL. He also was a fifth-round pick. The last thing the Lions want to do is talk themselves into the idea of a quarterback at No. 2." https://theathletic.com/3202872/2022/03/22/is-malik-willis-becoming-a-draft-reality-for-the-lions-why-it-makes-sense-and-why-it-doesnt/

In your opinion, how do the steelers move to 2 from 20? I aint seeing it.

say what now?

Darnold has the mental fortitude of a teletubby

Yep, and if Willis goes 3 somebody is getting pushed down to us. And if by some crazy scenario a team trades in front of us we may have our choice of 2 of the top 3

Nah thats not even enough, Philly had to give up about that to not move up that far

My preference for this draft. 1. Pick a tackle at 6 and run it back with sam and get a qb next year 2. Pick a tackle at 6, trade cmac to buff for their first and 3rd and get howell 3. Get pickett I guess, if they are dead set on a rookie qb. But damn that just doesnt feel right with this group especially passing on Fields last year

Based on their history I highly doubt they have a top 10 pick. Tomlin is too good of a coach and their roster is really really good as well. Its probably going to be in the teens

Thats not enough compensation

You cant fire me I quit

Would you make that trade for pick 6? It would be tempting but I probably would want their 2nd as well this year. Steelers however very rarely have high first round picks. 10th 3 years ago and the rest are 20's. Not sure if that is worth it to us

It would take 3 firsts for Pitt to move from 20 to top 5

How in the hell is Willis a better prospect then Justin Fields? WTF am I missing here?
