I expect Lincoln Riley will have some of that stacked QB pool at USC in the mix. Maybe the Coastal Carolina kid.

Right now. We saw how quickly those can chance. Remember the Howell/Rattler hype train?

QB careers(especially HOF) are so long now. That is the only reason I could see it going sideways on us

I don't think it is about anything historical(from college). I think it is because his career was so short for modern NFL QB.

Cam is probably a longshot, sadly. His career was just so short for being so bright.

Pound for pound, Smitty was the best.

Yeah but he wasn't too dissimilar in 2020. Love his skillset but his bust potential is just so insanely high. Most of these small school to NFL successes don't show the flaws he does. As I said, you give me a #1 pick in the 3rd and I am sprinting to the podium.

You mean @Gipetto?

Very true. If he can ball out at the Senior Bowl, it will be a different story.

That is easy to say but plenty of college QB's play behind porous OL's. They don't make those passes. And this is a dude that is HIGHLY likely to be playing behind a porous OL if he gets drafted top 15. Nah, I'm good. Don't hate the kid but he id a Day Two pick to me. I love him in the third but not above that.

Eh. I love Steve Smith(all time favorite Panther) but Megatron is deserving. That dude was just nuts. That said....pound for pound? I am taking Smitty.

Yeah but we are talking about the jump to the NFL. I have rarely seen college QB's make some of the bad decisions and passes that Willis did.

I can't do Willis before about the 3rd round. His bust factor is just too giant.

I am gonna be honest, from what I have seen of Willis, I expect his NFL career to be shorter than his rookie contract. His bust flags are just insane. Easily the most talented kid in this draft but he is a HUGE project.

Nah. Willis has a way better NFL skillset than PJ. Could also be a worse player.

Day Two guy.

Are we talking in a Rhule coached world? If so, keep Sam. At least we will have another top 5 pick to hand the next staff.

Malik Willis. Very high ceiling, INSANELY low floor.

I thot this is was about the #1 overall draft pick.

I wouldn't personally take any of them in the top 20.

1. Pickett 2. Corral 3. Howell 4. Strong 5. Ridder

People hate Rhulr because it is so obvious that he conned all of us. No one loves a scam artist.

Rebuilding is really never a word that should ever be said about an NFL franchise. The fact that they tore down the 2019 team the way they did and talked rebuild really shows how little everyone involved knew about NFL football. I said at the time I was very, very, very concerned about this "complete rebuild" because franchises that embark on such an undertaking often take years or decades to recover. Largely because it is a sign of ownership that has no idea what they are doing, IMO. Good franchises are always retooling and never rebuilding. You keep core players under contract, have plans to replace guys when they are near retirement and are constantly rotating players in and out of the roster every offseason based on resources available, needs and fit with the current team. You absolutely NEVER let your team get as talent deficient as we were in 2020 and you don't hire guys like Matt Rhule who are going to ruin culture and set the franchise back even further. You know, it's funny Matt Rhule harps on culture but historically great franchises have an actual culture in place that was built over years and can outlast coaching changes and player turnover(see Steelers. Packers, Pats, etc). Yet when when this guy steps foot in here, every veteran who knew anything about winning and success at the NFL level was unceremoniously jettisoned or retired. Then he brings a staff in that has very little NFL experience. And we wonder why this doesn't work. Matt Rhule and David Tepper are making(if they haven't already succeeded) us the old Browns, Bengals, Jets, etc. All the warning signs of a historically dysfunctional franchise are currently present. So, for the people that want to keep Rhule around.....good luck with that. Because you are just damning this franchise to a further and further slide into the cellar. It's one that we may not see them recover from for many years.
