Let’s say we take Pickett at 6

Everyone seems to be throwing themselves on the anti-Pickett or gamble-on-Willis train but Corral is the only one I’ve never taken huge hesitation with. 

His stock will grow. Pickett and Willis are at highs right now and need to sustain through these undie Olympics.

 

Corral is an interesting player.  Good athleticism and good arm and battle tested.  My knock with him is that he is pretty raw as a defense reader, and played in a very QB friendly system.  Still in this QB class I can see an argument for him being something some day.  
Personally at this point I am passing on these QBs.  Just not anything special with any of them that can be trusted.

Well after the senior bowl everyone is basically saying if your taking a qb Willis is qb1. I'm not even discussing Pickett at this point he arm is meh... and hand size all that and he is the dame age as darnold. I don't want this guy at all.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Picketts ceiling is Teddy which wasn't good enough for Rhule, so if he pulls the trigger on this that's basically just because he convinced himself he's a genius for recruiting him out of high school

He seems kinda like Heinicke to me. Quick reactions, likes to play, but always injured. Pretty much all these guys are comparable to good backups and would've gone like round 3-5 last year. Except Willis either being a 10 year starter or a complete bust

I would agree…Willis has some upside and I think he should go first of this group.  After I get Willis I have a very steep learning curve and comp level to overcome.  He will need at least a year maybe 2.  Even then it might not show up.  Again…I am staying away from all these dudes.

Agree with everything except his time table to play. This isn't the 90s..kids are playing day 1. I'm not saying he is day one ready I'm saying in a league where we talking fire rhule year 2. If you take a qb in the first he's playing year one because my job depends on it. 

I say let him play through his ups and downs what's the worst that can happen we look like we did this year? Have a qb throw 1 touchdown in 4-5 weeks?

I hear you but throwing Willis out there right now will be hilarious.  He isn’t anywhere near ready to play QB in this league. 

Seriously, I think Willis will bust miserably.  The jump he is making is amazing and he is going to come out and be a consistent passer?  He hasn’t ever shown it against decent defenses.  He will have to overcome an amazing amount to make it.

Really depends where you go. Jags had lawrence in a bad situation, Wilson shouldn't have been playing, Lance didn't really play. Jones had a good staff that worked around his strengths and weaknesses so he's not traumatized by starting. Don't see us having a good game plan for him but someone like the Steelers could probably start him and have a winning record

I second that of the Steelers possibly where Malik Willis could play right away and succeed.

The team is already built out with a strong running game in Najee Harris.  A thousand yard reciever Diontae Johnson.  A great young TE Pat Freiermuth.   And a solid defense with DPOY TJ Watt. 

Also a savvy and secure coach in Tomlin who would know how to gameplan to the strengths of Willis and minimize his problem areas.

So yeah, I’m just interested to see what people think since I know ideally we’d all love to capitalize on what seems to be a VERY good OL class in the first few rounds. 

Cheers

    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
    • Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
