Not looking to get into the QB vs OL debate, but I think at the very least there will be some people around here with some interest in this year's QB class.  We all can easily find the basic stats such as completion percentage, yards, and TDs, but during the draft season there will be plenty of other stats and tidbits about these guys, usually in the form of tweets.

I'll try to keep what I find in this one thread.  Feel free to add to it, it might help people form an opinion one way or the other about these guys.

I'll start it off with a longest throw comparison I saw on Twitter.  These aren't necessarily the longest throws they can make, but instead the longest throws they attempted this past season.

I watched these throws--all incomplete--but noticed the quick releases of Willis and Zappe.  Zappe hardly steps into the throw and it travels 60 yards--I think he could throw it farther.  Intrigued.

Willis has all the tools, just needs developing. Our staff can’t develop poo so I hope we don’t draft him and ruin him. If we go QB, we need a strong OC and a QB that pretty “pro ready” IMO. Zappe is interesting, wish we had our 2nd rounder which is almost a late first….

Keep an eye on carson strong this offseason. I think he's going to move up boards. 

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Howell creep back up as well. I can see us trading back, grabbing another 1st round pick or 2nd round pick and trying to grab one of the QBs that are still on the board. 

If our plan was to trade back and try and get one of these qb's then why would we risk moving off six and letting another team pick them?

It depends on how much of a drop off we see between them. If prospect 1 is close to the 5/6th option then we could trade down several spots if another team in high on one prospect.

For starters this "plan" seems like a long shot that we would actually build for it and execute it.   To my memory I cannot think of another team trying this.    I just dont see us risking trading "several" spots down and gambling on the team you trading with taking someone other then the qb you like.  That just seems like a plan that can go sideways immediately.  It just doesnt seem smart to do just to try and recoup a draft pick

It’s just a scenario, I doubt it happens. If there is still a lot of talent at the position we are looking to draft we could try to trade down. I agree with what you are saying though. If we think (for example) Corral is a future star, we should just take him at 6 and not get cute. All I know is Rhule is more than likely going to mess it up…

I don't think you trade down if you're targeting a specific prospect. I think you trade down when there are multiple prospects you have valued equally and you feel certain one will be available where you're trading down to. Either that or you simply thing there's no great value at your draft spot and you feel you'll ultimately get better all value by trading down for additional picks or future picks. This crew ain't gonna be trading for future assets though. They'll be trading the future assets.

I think this is universally agreed upon.   We will no doubt try and get cute this draft and fug things up.   The only way they don’t fug it up is if they just bite the bullet and take the best lineman available at 6.

The best lineman will probably have arms an inch too short for Rhule's flawless analytics.

I’m leaning towards him taking a OL at 6. It’s the least likely thing for him to ruin. Just do that and sign a Mitch or Mariotta to compete with Darnold. I hope Tepper has told him he can’t trade away future picks…

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
