The Vikings don't seem sold on giving Cousins $40+ mil a year, they've got a new head coach that has a lot of experience working with QB's, they have some impressive receivers in Thielen and Jefferson and a brand new GM that isn't tied to last year's pick of Kellen Mond either. Denver is self-explanatory. They pretty much have it all but a QB.

Damn already given up on your man Mond? I think Kirk was actually pretty damn good last yr, I'm not sure anyone is gonna give Kirk $40M after this contract is up though. Yeah I could see Minn being a spot. I still think Pitt will be in on it.

^ This. I think the Steelers will do what it takes and trade up for Willis, with Pickett as the backup plan if Willis goes early. I think this happens even if Jimmy went to the Steelers

I could see Carolina going Malik Willis at 6 overall. It potentially buys Matt Rhule more time but more importantly Willis could excel in a more College style offense and he would have awesome weapons in Carolina with CMC, DJ Moore and Robby Anderson.

Yup, the Panthers is the team I had in mind when I said if Willis goes early.

I don't see the Panthers reaching for Willis that high. He'd benefit greatly sitting a year. We all seen what happened to Fields last year and that wasn't enough to save Nagys job. And Fields was much better of a prospect.

Brule is on the hot seat and starting a rookie QB isn't going to save your job unless that QB plays like a pro bowler.

Maybe that's not reading into things too much into things. While number two seems kind of high right now, I can remember a few times where you could almost sense that a team was going to take a guy that they coached in that game if they had a chance, a few examples that come to mind are:

  1. The Chargers and Philip Rivers
  2. Us and Patrick Willis
  3. Us and Deebo

Lions are very talent deficient i think Goff did a sloid job of keeping them in games despite what they had

i think they just have to go BPA all the way

Would be a good pick for the Lions in the 2nd round or maybe even trade up into the end of the 1st. Let him sit behind Goff.

Then again can the Lions afford to let anyone sit? They maybe better served drafting a player in rd 2 that will play.

I like Malik Willis. I do think he would be best served sitting for a year but that all depends on where he goes. Like Lance he needs to learn to not take so many big hits when he scrambles.

Malik could end up being Josh Allen or a more athletic Jameis Winston. Some very questionable throws where he trusts his arm more than his eyes. Just my 0.02

Looks like another hard throwing fast guy trying to play QB to me.

I really like Willis, but I think he could benefit from a year of learning behind the scenes like Trey was given, so I could see this happening. I would really feel for Jimmy though, get traded only be find yourself in the same situation.

Is he going to be another guy that rises up at the combine and becomes a top 5 pick? Going into the combine many experts were saying there was probably only one late 1st round QB.(Pickett). People were saying he would have been the 6th or 7th QB taken if he was in last years draft. This happens every year as desperate teams drink the QBs into a 10.
