I'm also rooting for Kenny Pickett, Matt Corral and Sam Howell to succeed wildly too.

The more QBs that are appealing and the more desperate teams are to get them, the more teams will likely want to trade up to ensure they get their guy, which drives the price up for our pick.

This from Willis' pro day earlier today..

I don't see that happening at all. Pickett is by far the best QB in the class and he only compares to Ryan Tannenhill or Kirk Cousins. Pretty much an average NFL QB. Nothing spectacular. Willis has a cannon for an arm and is very fast and mobile, but has zero pocket awareness and locks onto receivers. I like the kid as a person and hope he succeeds, but he runs so much, because he misses wide open receivers and gets "happy feet" in the pocket. He is RG3 2.0.

It probably won't happen.

But then again, desperation for a QB makes teams do crazy things.  All it takes is for one team to get desperate for a QB to like one guy.

I'm seeing more and more mocks with QBs being taken in the top 10.  If this reflects the current thinking of the scouts/teams, I could see it happening.

Ultimately, I just want the team to get it right, whether we stay at 1 or trade back, or eventually trade up/down from 33.  We have to nail this draft.  I'm hoping we get 3-4 quality starters from this draft and more contributors.
