Is Zach Wilson becoming the consensus Huddle pick?

Teddy is simply not fun to watch.  I want to be entertained again.  Cam brought that to CLT.  Can Wilson?  He's got moxie.  I'll give him that.  If we go with him, there's no reason not to support him and to get excited about his potential.

 

For me, Lance is the way to go though.  Similar skillset as Wilson but with an arm cannon.  I want to see the BIG throws downfield.  Take the top off with speed.  Lance can thrive doing that.

Any round one QB would be fine. It would also give me another year to not flip out and let the team continue its “rebuild”. I wouldn’t say one word if we drafted a round 1 QB, sat them a year and let Teddy play so that he could develop, and we could build our O line back up. 
 

If we don’t, and just decided to roll with Teddy for another year without someone to develop or claim he is a franchise QB, then I will have no faith in the direction that the team is going

Couldn’t agree more. If they don’t draft a QB in round 1 I have no doubt the Rhule regime will not last very long. I don’t care if Bridgewater starts next season but there needs to be a young QB waiting in the wings to take over.

He's my top choice as a realistic pick (I don't think Fields will be there and Lawrence is out of the question even in a trade)

He can make every throw you want on the field which is a pre-requiste in my mind to being a franchise guy, more importantly he isn't scared to make them. He's mobile enough to survive in the modern game. And he throws a fantastic deep ball. He would be a guy teams would have to spend all week figuring out how to defend the whole field because he can beat you anywhere.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
