If McAdoo is a high potential guy, he has to have Willis ranked highest.  Rhule needs to win now so he must have Pickett ranked highest.  It will be interesting to see if he listens to McAdoo or not...

I'd rather they both defer to James Campen

Draft a QB or suck for one next year.

No need to suck for one next year.

Build the rest of the team and go all in on a pass heavy offense with an available mid to late round QB or unknown potential already in the NFL. You either find a Brady, Warner, Hasselbeck, or Delhomme letting them know this is their one shot. Tell them to prove to us we don't need to draft a QB next year because we found our leader. They have enough of an OL and defense to succeed after this offseason. Drafting a clutch WR with great hands and big play ability would be the one piece they need to add to give the QB 5 receiving targets that will threaten/spread out a defense.

At worst, you draft the WR this year in Garrett, Burks, Olave, and Dotson. The team will have the WRs to pair with a QB in next years draft if we can't find that diamond in the rough QB, and hopefully a new coach to go with that 1st round QB.

At best, you have a team competing for a championship and franchise leader at QB.

My picks for QB in the draft this year are Desmond Ridder if he falls in the draft, Aqeel Glass, or Jack Coan. Rypien and Buechele are my hidden gem picks if the Broncos or Chiefs would give them up for a 5th or 6th round pick. This is the year to give QBs like them an opportunity to take over the team.

What's the other option? Getting a known quantity at QB like Cam, Darnold, Walker, or Mayfield and hoping for a mediocre season and a one and done in the playoffs? At best, they get carried by the defense with a shot to win a SB only to look for their upgrade/replacement in 2023.

It's possible Corral is at the top of his board, he is similar to Josh Allen and I think is more gifted than Willis

I've got nothing against Corral.  I'd be happy if he get him by trading down.  His frame/paying style bothers me a little.  He played well against tough competition, but he was banged up a lot and takes a lot of hits.  I still think Willis has the highest ceiling and strongest arm in this class.  Corral probably has a higher floor though as he carved up some SEC defenses.

I disagree with the very popular idea that somehow Pickett has already reached his potential and couldn't also have a higher potential. We have a QB coach as an OC and a very well respected QB coach. He had a breakout season last year running a pro style offense. It looked like something clicked and he killed it. Why can't he be taught more and be able to improve his game to a higher level? The guy is smart and known for being a hard worker. 

Much like other young QBs having success early in the NFL, I think Pickett has that same, high potential.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
