Trading Back-What could we get for the #6 pick? Is it worth it?

Alabama game didn't help. Needs a good week at the Senior Bowl. 

I don’t think he was really bad or anything. Sacked like 7 times, Cinci’s line got dominated but managed to not make mistakes although couldn’t make anything really happen. 

If the talent surrounding him argument comes into play with Willis (IE when he played Corral and was lost), he still had games against UL Monroe and even the Raging Cajuns where he was just downright bad.

I guess the rocket arm and upside factors in THAT much nowadays. I’m just surprised.

Someone is going to take him in the top 10. He is worth it. 

You are probably correct but he will need a lot of work and time IMO.  Obviously some skills there but a gamble on greatness for sure.

He worries me as a passer pretty much in every aspect except pure arm strength 

Also, very worrisome that he couldn’t win the #2 QB slot at Auburn before he transferred

We know. But you don't want to go through the list of 1st round OL busts over the last two decades. OL used to be one of the safest 1st round picks a team could make but they has gotten dumped on its head in the past 20 years. 

That's all I'm saying here. That "OL safe pick" myth is dead.

 

Oline picks in the top 10ish are far less likely to bust.   I already did a post on this detailing it.

    • Why do we always let our good players go ?   CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night .  We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do .  We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico .   we don't know what we have in Brooks ,  Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player .  Don't let your proven players leave .
    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
