Because projections about NFL potential are never wrong?  Fwiw, they are wrong more often than they are right.  All that matters once the draft is over is how they perform on the field.  

 

 

Yeah I ain't a Pitt or Pickett fan so I don't have to pretend to want him to succeed. He was a very blah prospect and it will be fun to watch him play elsewhere. That is a guy I want to see us play against, not for.

The same NFL said Sam Darnold was the 3rd overall pick as well....

Sam was a better prospect and was still not good enough...

QBs just get pushed up the board, even if they shouldn't. Appears fair this year but it will be fun to see if one of these guys can be more than average

Thats not proving your point.  In fact its showing exactly why WIllis dropped.  His skill set, experience, etc is far below guys like Darnold coming out.   It doesnt matter if Darnold has busted its all about projection.  Darnold was a superior qb prospect coming out compared to willis

He was also suppose to be superior "prospect" to Lamar jackson. A guy like Willis or jackson tend to be hard to gauge how effect a offensive coordinator can use his skillet. He could easily outplay his draft position.

Burn Mileficent taking it back to first grade with the insults..... bro you wanted this guy at #6 lol just lol.

He still doesnt understand that willis isnt even that good of a prospect.  So many flaws.   But I am sure he will post the clip of him throwing into a trashcan again.

But he's so fast! Yeah no none of the QBs in this draft realistically had higher than a mid third round grade including Kenny Picket.

Your very child like I went to your profile and you have done nothing but poo everyone that spoke on willis that didn't think he was trash. I really can't talk to a person like you.

His profile doesn't really suit what we do here, though.

You want Willis to be a success in the NFL, there are two things that should happen:

One, as has been said many times, he needs to go to a team where he can sit for a year or so before having to start.

Two, he'd be better served going to a team that runs a big play, Coryell style offense that would take more of an advantage of what he does well.

A timing and rhythm offense isn't a good fit for him.

I agree. But on the filp side if you can make every throw and it's the second round or later I don't see a downside at all. You have your Left tackle, Tepper has given you the vote of confidence. I'm sure they are weighing the risk as we speak. Sadly, we don't have the assets to move up into the the early second round. 

I don't see how a team like the lions or seahawks pass on him in the second again.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
