After listening to the entire QB portion of this podcast, the grade on almost the entire class this year is really in the 4th round -  "let's draft him and see if he can stay on the roster".  Which is a pretty damning assessment. 

Willis seems like the only exception in the group.  His ability to read defenses and decision making (probably the two most important traits) are still undeveloped but everything else seems to be there to become a QB1.  But it would probably take the guy at least a year to learn those skills.  So the team that drafts him really has to be patient and plan on sitting him for most of his rookie season.  

As a consequence not a single member of this QB class is ready to start next year.  And if one believes this podcaster, most probably won't ever be ready.

On point!

There is not much of a gap between the top 12 to 15 QBs in this draft. While everyone's focused on the top 6, they aren't seeing how 6-12 are rising while 1-6 are falling. None of these QBs are worth a 1st round pick. Late first if a GM falls in love with a QB, and it's dangerous to fall in love with an incomplete 1st round QB. You can get a similar value at QB in round 4 through 6 than you can get with the top 3 QBs.

None of them are ready to start, but I have a feeling we will see at least 4 QBs of the top 12 starting by the end of the season. I've had 2 (maybe 3) QBs from this draft being franchise QB surprises for many, and they are not the top 6 being pumped up by the media at the Senior Bowl.

Maybe one of these Senior Bowl QBs has a perfect game and surprise us all. You play like you practice, and I'm expecting to see most if not all these QBs struggle in their game performance. Expecting media to make excuses for their on field mistakes. We will see soon.

I don't like to make too much of a single day.  But OMG, Kenny Pickett was truly horrible in the rain at the Senior Bowl.  

He couldn't get the snaps.  His throws were off.  Just nothing went right for the guy.  And all of that was consistent with his ongoing tiny hands story.   

Which sucks for the kid since he had such a great season.   But I'm sure that day will stick in the minds of a lot of coaches and GM's come draft day.  Especially if they have outdoor stadiums or frequent opponents who do.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
