Malik Willis Pro Day

[ForJimmy]

The good news is at 6 all 3 LTs, Willis, Pickett, and the top pass rushers can’t all be gone…

Well his completion percentage is higher than Pickett. And a lot of the stuff you are saying about Willis they said about cam. But Willis seems to be fairly accurate.

When looking at his time at Liberty the completion percentage is identical actually.

The best QBs in the class are always going to be first round picks, regardless of how good they are relative to other QB classes. There will always be QB needy teams that look to the draft to find their franchise guy, so there would have to be a serious dearth of talent at the position for there to not be a QB taken in the first round.

but after looking into him...  does he actaully have a QB brain?   missing 1st reads and stuff.  might not process the play in real time. 

This. I see a qb that has a big arm but won’t stay in the pocket. Running QBs don’t last and don’t win Super Bowls.

Short throws. Liberty ran a tooooon of smoke routes.

By all accounts, the same group that was in Pittsburgh yesterday is traveling south to Lynchburg for Willis’ pro day.

Haven't seen it reported anywhere except on WFNZ but I expect that's true.

Just because something hasn't been done doesn't mean it can't. Before cam most of the league didn't really care for a dual threat qb. Afterwards it basically became the norm. If 90% of the league have pocket qbs of course it is going to be rarer for running qbs to win Super Bowls.

Also each individual is different. I haven't heard one person say Willis isn't accurate. Where as they killed cam about it.

They hype is his cannon arm. He's fairly accurate as far as option based qbs go. And he is being compared to a right handed micheal vick by Mel kiper... I think the tools to work with are exceptional. If he was 6'3 we wouldn't even be discussing who qb1 is.

Mike Vick sucked tho.

But he looked good losing. That's all that seems to matter around here.

Yea, he has all the traits a lot of the huddle overrates, a cannon and he runs.  The negatives are he misses reads a lot, he uses his arm strength to make up for the fact he never throws with anticipation, and I would also say the fact he didnt dominate lesser competition and looked pretty bad against better competition.   He is a poor mans cam right now.   His strengths are similar but not as otherworldly as Cam's and his weaknesses are the same but worse.  All that being said he could still be the best prospect.   I honestly have no idea anymore lol.  Hes definitely a scary choice though.

With the hype, he may not be there at 6.

Every year I read about players who may be gone by the time the Panthers draft. It's funny. I have heard that about at least 10 players already this year. Like someone else said, we will get a good player at 6 that will improve our team. If it is an OT or defensive player, so be it. Heck, if both top QBs are gone, we will have a stud drop into our lap.
