I do. I think he had plenty of great throws from the pocket in 18. And they move him around plenty in Detroit.It doesn't seem like you understood what I wrote.
Much like 18… he’s got a great scheme and exceptional talent around him.

HaHa yeah Nix went up against a practice defense that has removed defensive stop from their vernacular. They now refer to as a Defensive Slowing. The SC D coord is now seen as the best offensive coord in the country for anyone playing SC. The next time SC goes 3 & out on D Mercedes will give you a carI almost want to say the worst defense
Which one is Big Whit Jr?Here's PFF's big board: https://www.pff.com/draft/big-board?season=2024
Some of these rankings look funny to me but I suppose no matter how you stack 'em you're gonna have critics. McCarthy at 29 seems a bit ludicrous. But let's play a game here and see how many direct Rams needs are on their first round grade list...
By PFF ranking spot:
1. QB Caleb Williams
3. QB Drake May
4. OT Olumuyiwa Fashanu
5. TE Brock Bowers
6. OT Laiatu Latu
7. OT Joe Alt
10. OT Taliese Fuaga
11. EDGE Chop Robinson
12. CB Kool-Aid McKinstry
13. EDGE Jared Verse
14. CB Nate Wiggins
17. EDGE Dallas Turner
18. QB Bo Nix
19. OT JC Latham
21. OT Graham Barton
22. QB Michael Penix
23. EDGE Bralen Trice
26. CB Cooper Dejean
28. OT Amarius Mims
29. QB JJ McCarthy
30. CB Kalen King
The gaps seem to mostly be WR and DL, some of whom will tempt McSnead greatly. But of PFF's 1st round list 21 are positions that are direct needs for us (QB, Edge, OT, CB).
5 QBs. 7 OTs. Seems like there's a lot of nice options for us early on in this draft.
Oh and I included TE too as a need, simply because Bowers is an instant plug and play upgrade and with Higs we would actually have enough potency for McVay to want to line up in 12.
I like Fashanu 6'6" 320 and athletic but don't see him being there. Honestly it is probably the smartest pick if we could swing it. I am all in for another decade + starter @ LTWhich one is Big Whit Jr?
Me too, and three! ~ @Merlin and myselfI like Fashanu 6'6" 320 and athletic but don't see him being there. Honestly it is probably the smartest pick if we could swing it. I am all in for another decade + starter @ LT
I'd go with Alt for the Big Whit Jr role. Big sumbish who is good in both phases.Which one is Big Whit Jr?
My dream is a modest trade back where someone overpays a little because they want a specific player.. You could see someone reaching for a QB.. they always do.Here's PFF's big board: https://www.pff.com/draft/big-board?season=2024

Fashanu and Alt even Fuaga, a few others could rise to the occasion. Also that list has Latu as an OT.Which one is Big Whit Jr?
Does seem like there's room for that, given that the QB + OT alone totals 12 picks. Probably comes down to where we're picking.My dream is a modest trade back where someone overpays a little because they want a specific player.. You could see someone reaching for a QB.. they always do.
Get an OT.. have an extra pick or two.
Some of those OT have only played RT in college, which is perfectly fine look at Sewell out there for the Lions right now :o A few are projected to be able to move over to LT in the pros but that's always gonna come down to coaching.Does seem like there's room for that, given that the QB + OT alone totals 12 picks.

Yeah you never know. Of last year's top group I don't think any are at LT last time I looked. Skoronski ended up at OG. The kid the Cards took I think is still at RT. But sometimes they start somewhere else as a rook then get moved over.Some of those OT have only played RT in college, which is perfectly fine look at Sewell out there for the Lions right now :o A few are projected to be able to move over to LT in the pros but that's always gonna come down to coaching.
Good point. I would think he does given the fact he does show a lot of passion, but maybe he doesn’t really understand what to look for when watching film on his own.Did you see the Virginia game where he got his ass kicked against a really inferior team.
Maye and Caleb both have issues.
Caleb however has one of the most accurate arms that I have ever seen.
But, he can't read a defense for shit.
Maye appears to have a really good OL and when he has time can make great passes. He has some escape ability but nothing like Williams.
The one thing hurting Williams this year is that his OL is extremely poor. I thought it would be better than this. Nope - his OL sucks.
And since Williams can't read defenses, he is either getting sacked or pressured to make a good throw. He definitely needs work on reading defenses and that depends on whether or not he actually looks at film of his opposing teams.
Does anyone know if he does that? From what I have seen of his play, I believe he doesn't.
That is something that needs to be discussed by pro teams. Is he willing to put in the work?
Murray sure doesn't. And Williams sometimes reminds me of Murray with his attitude except Williams wants to win.
Maybe that will be the incentive to get Williams to do the work.
Maye has issues of his own, turns the ball over seemingly once per game and his passing TD's are down from last year
It matters not, there's no way Caleb lands here.Am I the only one who does NOT want Caleb?

Marvin Harrison Jr is #2 on the list not sure why he’s not included on the persons list you’re quoting…What an odd list. There isn’t a WR on it? MH Jr anybody?
If the OT pool is truly that deep, then snagging a future QB AND a top LT seems entirely possible.
WR is one of our stronger groups I say no as good as MHJ is. I would grab an LT, Fashanu or Alt a true LT. We can strengthen the Secondary, DL, RB and Edge with draft picks and FA's. If we protect Stafford we have 2-4 years then steal a top FA QB or possibly we have drafted and developed one. There are a lot of moving parts to navigate, I think this is the quickest way to success without jeopardizing the future. I always like drafting a QB high but the chance we improve that position over obvious needs at other positions is questionable and unlikely to bring much net gain if any.What an odd list.
