Pickett checks all the boxes but Willis isn't even an option? Man ten years later and this stuff still hasn't changed 😂

Sorry, I forgot what a powerhouse Liberty QBs are. My bad. They are even better than the SDS QBs. Just ask the 49ers. C'mon man. Not sure what 10 years you're referring too but I'm sure it makes sense to you.

What’s your argument? Cam Newton was The Golden Calf of Bristol’s backup at UF and Justin Fields couldn’t beat Fromm at UGA. 

Was he third string?

Jarrett Stidham is definitely no The Golden Calf of Bristol. He wasn't even a Fromm. Bo Nix was trash and that's the guy who ultimately made Willis transfer. Willis couldn't beat out Bo Nix.

He had one good rushing game game against p5 opponents in the past 2 years. 

Yeah by tough to bring down I'm not trying to imply that he is a good rushing QB. He lacks the speed to be a rushing QB type, but he is hard to bring down compared to your typical QB due to his muscly build.

At this point, just draft him. At best he looks legit but we lose enough for Rhule to get canned. At worse, he’s the reason chinless lasts minimum 2 more years.

Yeah, he doesn’t have the gravitas that a Cam or big conference prospects have, but might as well gamble for him rather than an average floor/possible bust with no value type in Pickett.

You would be doing Willis a grave disservice to start the kid year one. He is in no way ready to play in the NFL.  No amount of pixie dust is going to magically turn him into a pro ready qb in one training camp.

He's a long term project that has a slim chance to work out on well coached team. He has zero chance here.

It certainly wouldn't decrease our odds of drafting in the top 5. But seriously, do you see any of these kids having a chance of success starting year one under a lame duck coach? 

I just can't see how McAdoo can pull that off while installing a new whatever bs offense he can pull out of his ass. You know he rolled Rhules play book up and threw it in the trash as soon as he was hired.

I don’t but it looks like our route to go. Sometimes you’ve passed all the on-ramps before the tunnel.

Go back and watch Fields dismantle Clemson's defense in the playoffs and then honestly try to tell me Willis has a higher ceiling. Y'all musta forgot.

Then put that tape on side by side with Willis versus any P5 team.

I like Willis a lot. IMO, he is probably the guy I would personally take in this draft.

For SURE not in the first round, though.

He's too short. He's more in the Johnny Manziel, Geno Smith class of QB's. I would be livid if we drafted him at 6, especially with 3 generational OT's at the top of the draft and one of them is slated to fall to us

Whoa dude.. all 3 of these guys aren't generational. Matter of fact I haven't heard one of them mentioned as generational all have flaws.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
