Honestly, Russell Wilson seems more and more like a pipe dream for us.

Time to go to Plan B.

Draft Willis or Pickett at 11. And grab a middle tier free agent QB to ease the rookie in mid-year. A Teddy Bridgewater type.


And continue to add pieces where we're weak. MLB. S. WR.

I saw Picket throw in training the other day and that damn glove freaks me out.. His arm isn't elite either, Willis BY FAR has the biggest upside of any QB in this class.

I don't disagree ... but Willis seems to have already generated buzz that will push him up from our spot at 11. How far do we go to ensure we draft him? Are we pulling "an RGIII" to land Willis?

I wouldn't.

He has tools, but I'm not comfortable giving up assets to move up the draft board to snag any rookie in this year's QB crop. (I'd give up assets to trade for an established NFL QB, but that doesn't look like a viable path this year for us).


I prefer Pickett to Matt Coral and Sam Howell --- Pickett's bigger, has comparable speed, and lots of experience.


If he busts (any rookie QB we draft) take another swing at next year's crop of collegiate QBs ...

Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Phil Jurcovic, Spencer Rattler, Kedon Slovis, Dillon Gabriel, Brenan Armstrong, Henden Hooker, Malik Cunningham, Max Johnson, DJ Uagalelei .... plus others.

I think next year's group is deeper than this year's.

But that's just me.

That may be true but how long are you willing to wait for him to learn to play the QB position in the NFL? This is a serious question. To me, he is a superior athlete with a strong arm who has a lot to learn about playing QB.
