Coaching hires and Senior Bowl Risers & Fallers (Video)

[CarolinaLivin]

He begins with the coaching hires and doesn’t start talking senior bowl until about 34:00. Starts the senior bowl/draft talk with the QB’s first then goes down the line. Gives some insight to what he’s seeing and what nfl scouts are saying.

There’s no way Matt Rhule let’s that happen.

Not when Rhule is pounding the table for him at #6 overall.

The cheerleader effect lol but also it makes a lot of sense. I thought some of the other QBs did better than that.

Picket 'If you play in an outdoor stadium I don't think you can draft this guy...Seriously He couldn't throw the ball'

Some great cautionary words on Willis and what to look at next in the draft process.

A very interesting perspective.  Thanks for posting.

It is funny that the more people look at this class the more they say the same thing.

It isn't a good QB class. Period.

No, it's not. Very good OL class though.

I'm trying to think of the last time I saw us take advantage of a situation like that.

Not sure if our organization is smart enough for this but do you think some of the Pickett love in public could be a smoke screen? I’m hoping so at least but I’m sure Rhule will be salivating to take him.

After listening to the entire QB portion of this podcast, the grade on almost the entire class this year is really in the 4th round -  "let's draft him and see if he can stay on the roster".  Which is a pretty damning assessment. 

Willis seems like the only exception in the group.  His ability to read defenses and decision making (probably the two most important traits) are still undeveloped but everything else seems to be there to become a QB1.  But it would probably take the guy at least a year to learn those skills.  So the team that drafts him really has to be patient and plan on sitting him for most of his rookie season.  

As a consequence not a single member of this QB class is ready to start next year.  And if one believes this podcaster, most probably won't ever be ready.

Dear Lord

all this means, Rhule will draft him

the same guy that worries about LT arm length won’t give a damn about Picketts hand size of a guy he tried to recruit

We won't. Smart people make smart decisions. That isn't our franchise

It's funny coming from the 1-15 season but this is so clearly the franchise low point.
