We’ll see how he does this year. Interesting prospect but will he be worth a top 10 pick or be a “sure-thing”?

Wentz went #2 overall out of the same school. In terms of talent and translation to the NFL, I'd say that worked out pretty well. Can't blame the injuries on him playing in a small college program and that's been the only knock on Wentz as a pro. But he was also a senior and reportedly showed well during Senior Bowl week too. Lance won't have that opportunity this year.

The Raiders weren't great last year but they were decent. I definitely wouldn't chalk this up as an easy win.

It'll test our Run D that's for sure 

Also it'll be interesting to see how our secondary holds up against Waller and Ruggs

Good thing is they are playing Oregon this year, who still should have a good team. Hopefully that game will be on TV/ ESPN app so we can get a look against a solid power 5 school.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
