I honestly don’t really care but I’m inclined to take the guy with the most raw talent in Willis.

I like Pickett more than most people here though so I don’t loathe the idea. 

Willis would be dangerous for sure if he can get everything down from what I see of him. Don't know too much about him other than highlights I have seen but I guess any QB with that kind of run threat could be huge if they can also develop a pretty accurate pass as well.

What a terrible trade by the Saints LOL

Giving up a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, to get an extra first this year and move back one draft spot with their other pick.

That's a trade you make the day of the draft when there is a specific player there that could put you over the top on a SB run, they aren't in that position, not even close.

Yeah, I'm baffled on the timing.

20th overall pick

That high? If he was our guy I'd definitely trade back some and try to pick up a second if someone would bite. He sure seemed like he had the ability at beginning of season last year. I'm no Tarheel fan (don't hate or like them) but I do see how he could potentially be a diamond in the rough selected later behind some other guys who fizzle out.

The Steelers have absolutely been all over him all year long.

It’s easier than ever for these kinds of traits to translate now, the windows are massive as the rules have changed. Getting a guy who can prolong how long those already large windows stay open is a nice trait to have in house.

I am not worried about. Either (a) the Panthers get their pick of QBs or (b) a fantastic OT or DE falls into our lap. 

I'm betting a QB goes ahead of us simply because every team in the league knows we're desperate for a QB.

I have to think that the overall league sentiment is that if you want your choice of the QBs, #5 is your logical target landing spot.

Why would you make any picks for picks trades in the weeks leading up to the draft before seeing who's available? This is honestly baffling.

Only thing I see is the iants have 21 players they view as clear 1st round talent, very odd tho. 

Each year most teams only give 16+/- 1st round grades. Coofus screwed up the draft like it did everything else. Ive heard this is the most draftable players form any draft in history. The scouts have turned in the most reports ever. That also means the UDFA pool will be blood and guts.... Not much to do with that trade, but its a part of it.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
