I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted Willis.  Who knows how good he can be?  Lord knows he has the tools to be a high level NFL starter.  It's going to be a bumpy road for him in the first year or two.

But that depends on how we manage to address the OL in FA.  Can Brady C be a NFL LT?  Who will play guard?  Center? 

For me, I'd be thrilled to draft a stud LT, trade down and draft more OL help, or even trade down and pick Willis in the late 1st.

Who knows.  This is prime smokescreen time.  Everyone has nothing but good things to say about everyone...

He's not a "poor man's Fields." Much higher ceiling. I think Fields can be a solid starter, but I don't think he's ever a real difference maker. 

I was really against drafting Willis, but I am starting to come around to it. Seems to have a good head on his shoulders. The physical talent is great. He's got to learn how to make the "easy play" sometimes, but I think you have to swing for the fences if you're drafting a QB. I'd rather take a chance on being able to coach a guy to take the "easy play" rather than trying to squeeze more out of a guy than his physical talent allows. 

Go back and watch Fields dismantle Clemson's defense in the playoffs and then honestly try to tell me Willis has a higher ceiling. Y'all musta forgot.

If you put Willis on OSU team, they would probably won the National Championship.

I hope this is true. I initially liked Pickett a bit but the more I've researched these QBs the only one I really care for this draft is Willis. Still don't want him in the top 10 though, prefer OL there. Trade down or trade a roster player to get another pick and take Willis mid/late 1st, then hell yeah.

      Canes vs Bruins 7pm Halloween Edition!

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      As I said less than 10 minutes into the game, Boston looks nothing like we're used to seeing. Regardless, any curb-stomping of the Bruins is welcome.  The scorers all got the glory tonight, but all 6 D-men had excellent games. Across the board- Gost, Orlov, Chatty, Walker and, of course, Slavin & Burns.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.
