If McAdoo is a high potential guy, he has to have Willis ranked highest.  Rhule needs to win now so he must have Pickett ranked highest.  It will be interesting to see if he listens to McAdoo or not...

I'd rather they both defer to James Campen

Draft a QB or suck for one next year.

No need to suck for one next year.

Build the rest of the team and go all in on a pass heavy offense with an available mid to late round QB or unknown potential already in the NFL. You either find a Brady, Warner, Hasselbeck, or Delhomme letting them know this is their one shot. Tell them to prove to us we don't need to draft a QB next year because we found our leader. They have enough of an OL and defense to succeed after this offseason. Drafting a clutch WR with great hands and big play ability would be the one piece they need to add to give the QB 5 receiving targets that will threaten/spread out a defense.

At worst, you draft the WR this year in Garrett, Burks, Olave, and Dotson. The team will have the WRs to pair with a QB in next years draft if we can't find that diamond in the rough QB, and hopefully a new coach to go with that 1st round QB.

At best, you have a team competing for a championship and franchise leader at QB.

My picks for QB in the draft this year are Desmond Ridder if he falls in the draft, Aqeel Glass, or Jack Coan. Rypien and Buechele are my hidden gem picks if the Broncos or Chiefs would give them up for a 5th or 6th round pick. This is the year to give QBs like them an opportunity to take over the team.

What's the other option? Getting a known quantity at QB like Cam, Darnold, Walker, or Mayfield and hoping for a mediocre season and a one and done in the playoffs? At best, they get carried by the defense with a shot to win a SB only to look for their upgrade/replacement in 2023.

It's possible Corral is at the top of his board, he is similar to Josh Allen and I think is more gifted than Willis

I've got nothing against Corral.  I'd be happy if he get him by trading down.  His frame/paying style bothers me a little.  He played well against tough competition, but he was banged up a lot and takes a lot of hits.  I still think Willis has the highest ceiling and strongest arm in this class.  Corral probably has a higher floor though as he carved up some SEC defenses.

I disagree with the very popular idea that somehow Pickett has already reached his potential and couldn't also have a higher potential. We have a QB coach as an OC and a very well respected QB coach. He had a breakout season last year running a pro style offense. It looked like something clicked and he killed it. Why can't he be taught more and be able to improve his game to a higher level? The guy is smart and known for being a hard worker. 

Much like other young QBs having success early in the NFL, I think Pickett has that same, high potential.
