I have to chuckle at this widespread Huddle sentiment that an NFL team can just sit back and choose a new franchise QB prospect at their leisure. Let's say next year's class is another very strong on paper class. Well, guess what? If we're sitting at #6 again we're probably gonna be too low.

It's kinda odd to me that all the talk about Trey Lance not even being close to ready doesn't have people backpedaling pretty hard on Willis. They just seem so similar as prospects IMO. If anything, Willis might even be more raw.

Yeah, it's weird to me that the team that gave Teddy a big contract and sung a significant trade for Darnold while immediately picking up his option supposedly has zero interest in a QB who has shown a lot more than either of those other guys. I mean, maybe the word is out that Baker is just THAT toxic. It's definitely possible.

Hell, I'm kinda done judging a QB by his system. Herbert played in a damn HS offense at Oregon. I let that fool me into thinking he wasn't capable of more.

Ah shucks, we'll get 'em next year gets you our Carolina Panthers.

The NFL is rapidly turning into a "gamble big to win big NOW" league. Hell, I sure wish we'd done it during Cam's prime. Even though I wasn't a fan of him coming into the draft, in hindsight I wish we'd let crazy Marty mortgage the future on swinging big on a trade to land Herbert.

I honestly don't see it. I think they're very similar in terms of prospects. I'm not big on either, but I can't see making an honest argument for one being vastly superior to the other as a prospect.

Yeah, that makes sense.

How is Trey Lance a better prospect than Willis?

I'm betting a QB goes ahead of us simply because every team in the league knows we're desperate for a QB. I have to think that the overall league sentiment is that if you want your choice of the QBs, #5 is your logical target landing spot.

The Steelers have absolutely been all over him all year long.

Yeah, I'm baffled on the timing.

20th overall pick

I'm taking Sam Howell.

Bingo.

I honestly think this isn't all that accurate and a lot of it is because there isn't a slam dunk top prospect among them and this class is right on the heels of last year's very strong on paper class. I mean, folks... the reality is that Trevor Lawrence and Andrew Luck type prospects are a rarity. That's why they're considered "once in a decade" type prospects. IMO, this is a fairly typical QB class. Some good, but not perfect on paper prospects.

Yeah, in a world where Lamar Jackson exists I have to STRONGLY disagree with that assessment.

Why would you make any picks for picks trades in the weeks leading up to the draft before seeing who's available? This is honestly baffling.

I've just seen him get ran down from behind by random small program LBs too many times to believe any 4.3 talk. You don't see guys with that type of speed playing Liberty's opponents getting caught from behind hardly ever. Do you really think if he was could run a really impressive time he wouldn't do it?

He's not as fast as those guys either. Taylor runs a 4.39 though. I'm betting if he ran Willis is a mid-4.5s type guy. Chubb has insane strength and explosiveness. He benched like an OL and had a nearly 40" vertical. Both of those guys have some pretty freaky tools.

I bet Teddy Bridgewater's breakdown looked just like this coming out of Louisville.

Yeah, it was Cam's physicality and underrated agility much more so than pure speed that made him so effective as a runner.

As for Willis, I think he is a good runner. Nothing close to Vick or Lamar. Basically a Cam style runner but a LOT smaller. Not sure how that's gonna work out. I think he has similar speed to Cam.

Yes, since 2020. Howell was literally told by the staff NOT to run prior to this season because they didn't have a backup on the roster they felt comfortable with.

I ain't a bit nervous. This is the most house money national championship game ever. We've been playing with house money since beating Baylor in the 2nd round. The only stress was having to face duke.
