Rhule: One QB will be a top 10 pick this year

Hi Zod,

It appears they may not be as enamored with Pickett as presumed. They like him a lot but they see the issues with Scott and Ben in the picture.

I hear recent rumblings about Ekwonu being there for us 1. Aiden 2. Malik 3. Walker 4. Hamilton 5. Neal

But that takes away from a trade up unless a team wants Pickett. I also hear teams LOVE Penning. Cross only a select few (scheme dependent, but hear we’ve shown interest w/a private interview)

If we are trying to trade down then why the fug would this moron say this?

More likely a team in the later part of the first would want to move up for a DE like Thibodeaux or OT like Ekwonu. My bet is Willis to the Seahawks at 9 is the only QB taken in the top 10. 
 

If Rhule doesn’t think other teams are buying the QB hype, then we need to raise our perceived interest in the top tier players, no matter the position, to incentivize a trade up from the mid-teens or twenties.

I actually agree. Malik will go top 10. Pickett and Corral mid to late first round.

I really find it hard to believe that an NFL GM would draft a QB with so many flaws on the most important traits of an NFL QB who played at Liberty and still didn't dominate based solely on what some say is his "potential" to be a good QB. Anyone who drafts Willis is going to have to teach him how to do practically everything. Run a pro-style offense, read a defense, find more than 1 receiver per play, stay in the pocket, don't run into the DL and get sacked or they will have to run a gimmick offense around his running abilities.

Yeah nobody is going to give up draft capital to move up for a DE. At least nothing comparable to a QB, this dude says some dumb poo.

Same things were said about Cam Newton.

Come to think of it, I have never seen Zod and Rhule in the same room at the same time.

I think you are right, but I also think that if Detroit or Houston takes him in the first three picks, it could cause some trade ups.  If he goes fifth (I firmly believe the Giants will trade out and there could be a player--maybe Seattle) moving up for Willis.  On the other hand, Willis may not be worth the cost to trade up to #5, so he team that gets him could have him fall into their laps.  That could be Carolina at 6.  Would we take Willis, or would we trade back and take a Corral + picks?  Interesting--I would trade back.

Hear me out. What if Rhule is actually playing over 9000 x 420 dimension chess and has tanked the prior 2 season because he knows smol hands will be better than Brady? What if he’s known all along and we all have to eat crow when he pulls off 15 straight undefeated seasons, he’s voted sexiest man alive, and gets his own very tasteful nude 150’ statue of himself, legs on each side of Mint Street and member serving as a pedestrian bridge across the interstate to serve as a reminder of his greatness?

I want them to take Willis. JUST so the team is garbage, as usual, for at least the next three years. JUST so the fan base can divide over the QB ... again. JUST so anything negative said about him will be turned into an argument over race. JUST so any bad game he has will be blamed on Rhule, WRs dropping passes, the Oline, or the OC. NEVER CHANGE! Let's keep this place the exact same foreverrrrrrrrrrrr.

DRAFT A DAMN LT. Get your franchise QB next season.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
