I really like this mock draft by Dean Jones...

This would be about the worst case scenario for Willis. He has the talent but if he gets drafted by us his odds of busting go through the roof.

But I don't see him starting next year. Darnold with a hopefully better line is a step in the right direction. Another draft and maybe, just maybe we are ready to take a major step towards competing for the playoffs.

I like the mock, but I'd slot a TE instead of Strange.  3 rookie OL seems like overkill.  We'll probably sign someone in free agency and have Christensen - FA - Elflein - Brown - Moton on board with Erving as a swing tackle.  We need a couple other guys for sure, but 3 seems like too much.

We need a TE bad.  There seem to be quite a few slotted in that round 4/5 area that would do the trick.

I would not pass up the opportunity to draft an elite LT in order to get Willis and a possible starter at G. 
 

I don’t hate the Willis pick…I just don’t see him as a starter in 2022. If he’s not a starter in 2022 then you’re better off building the OL with an elite LT, sucking again, and drafting Stroud or Young.

    • Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.
    • There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.
    • You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
