Difference between last year and this year. And glad you mentioned Willis. Hardly anyone had a QB projected top 20 outside of Pickett BEFORE the pro days. That’s when the whole roll out in spandex went viral and got people excited. this class. At least 3 of these QBs were projected Top 10 overall guys a whole year out. Including 2 guys everyone was saying this time last year (while people were still taking up Willis) that would go top 3 overall if eligible.

I honestly don’t think he is really that much more athletic if at all. And a whole 2-4 pounds heavier? I’ll give you the 2 inches in height.

My Question is what are the “major pieces” in football outside of a #1WR, #1 CB, a top Edge Rusher, and a LT?

Id put him ahead of McKee and Hooker he’s much young than Hooker and he does have better overall tools than McKee.

5th

I’d rather scratch 1 50/50 lottery ticket vs 3 tickets with 5-10% chance to win

This its still important But you don’t see teams investing top 15 picks like they used to

You do realize that rd2-7 QB success is less than 1/4th of that right.?

Bozeman actually was a pretty damn good fit here and expect him to resign. even then. Very few teams are investing premium 1st rd picks on Centers.

But you’re not using premium draft capital on “depth”

So your alright with throwing 2 1st rd picks back to back at a QB3-4 in a draft class vs spending. 2-3 1sts for a QB1-2 in a class?

I’ve seen a lot of push back regarding trading up for a QB giving away future 1sts and potentially a 2nd this year to move up for a QB? But what “holes” are we concerned about? digging deeper looking at this roster and roster construction across the league. what are the most important foundation pieces In Todays league and what are the most common drafted positions in the top 15 in todays NFL? LT- blindside protection. Franchise LTs are up there. Edge Rusher- Franchise number 1 edge rusher. Getting after the QB WR- teams go try to find that go to #1 WR CB- CB1, A true shutdown CB’s now let’s review our last 5 1st rd picks who are under contract and or looking to be Extended Ickem (LT), Horn (CB), Brown, Burns (Edge), DJ (WR1) now let’s move onto our “holes” how many teams across the league, their #2 WR was a guy they drafted in rd 1? How many top teams in the NFL drafted their TE in rd 1? How many teams invested their 1st rd pick in a CB2-3 How many teams across the league without a QB invested a 1st rd pick on a #2 edge rusher? Buffalo’s only 1st rd pick on offense is Allen and only 1st rd picks on D are CB, Edge, DT, and LB The Bengals only 1st rd picks on Offense is their WR1, LT, and QB. Defensively, the only guy in the First 2 rds is their Safety who was a 2nd rounder and hitting FA. point is. We are in good position to trade future picks to move up for the QB we like.

Thing that’s got Levis over them is arm strength and plays in a pro style offense

Haha tried to go back and edit that to “coming” but wouldn’t let me

People were on his “bandwagon” well well before then. Its crazy how quickly we forget people were talking him up this time last year the same way we are talking about Drake and Caleb Today

McKee reminds me of that other Stanford QB in Houston right now.

Hooker is a great guy and a solid QB. But there’s a reason why he never really got the hype outside of this area as far as a NFL prospect even before the injury. He is a similar athlete and similar arm strength as Corral. But the system hurts him similar as it did to Corral etc. The hype around here is driven because he’s a local kid and both schools he played at have big fan bases in the area. here is a good write up on the system he plays in. https://footballscoop.com/.amp/news/high-level-qb-trainer-says-art-briles-gus-malzahn-offenses-furthest-thing-from-nfl-offenses if this were 2 years ago I’d take him. But we just did this with Corral last year.

He probably wasn’t even going to play this year anyways without the injury. He’s got a Huge leaning curb like Corral did coking from the offense he played at Tennessee

The Willis to number 2 hype never even started until he did his roll out long pass on his Proday. This time last year, they were still saying early 2nd late 1st. Stroud and Young have been hyped for a while. And a lot of people were talking about tanking for these 2 the same way they are Drake and Caleb today.

Probably closer to early 2nd. His age and the offense he was playing in really hurts him.
