Carson Wentz went #2 and played nobody

what's more important is the tool set on display, and he checks every box for what a team wants. What I like most is he doesn't need a guy wide open to pull the trigger and put the ball deep to where only his receiver can get it. That's $$$.

I seen that, too. I like the gunslinger mentality he has.

ummm

He's a top 10 pick, easy.

Let's see, he has:
-Excellent accuracy
-Quick throwing motion
-Big arm
-Very athletic
-Alters throwing motion
-Makes NFL throws

What's there to knock him on?

Idk I guess I use Dashon Watson as my reference for a QB the NFL will let slip the top 10. Maybe it was just the class he came out with that made him drop but he seemed like a great competitor and still dropped. I think Watson was a better prospect than Wilson so in my mind he could drop to say 15-20 range (only If Lawrence-Lance-Fields declare)

Watson fell because people started questioning his arm strength. I wouldn't say he fell either bc if there was a redo Mahomes would have went where Trubisky went and Watson would have still gone around 10-12.

In a redo mahomes and Watson go 1 and 2 overall

CMC wouldn't even be top 5 and top 10 is debatable.

Mahomes, Watson, Garrett, Watt, White, Lattimore, Adams, Kittle

Then you've got Kamara, Baker, etc.

Anyway, about Zach, he looks really small an I hate his head band, but dang he makes BYU must watch football

Watson fell over arm strength concerns, which is paramount to nfl scouts

I can see that but McCoy never had an arm like Wilson does.

agree with everything...I guess the knock is he wasn't great in 2018/2019 and dealt with a couple injuries? Also hasn't played top end talent.

I don't really care because the film doesn't lie this kid has "it" I would love him in red and gold

Yeah their arm talent isn't on the same planet. I'd love if NFL scouts thought that and he dropped to the 2nd. Not gonna happen the way he's currently playing IMO.
