Caleb Williams - unreal player (and who will get him?)

[RobbRiddick]

I don't really watch college ball but I've been watching some of this guy. Originally I wanted to see if the hype was real, then because he's just so damn good to watch.

 

I hear a lot about him being Mahomes-esque and I actually can see that. Man, he throws a pretty pass, and his movement is so smooth and fluid. That pass he made as he headed out of bounds Vs Nevada was actually Allen-esque. He gets a lot of time to throw which is always something to take into account but wow, I'd be shocked if this guy isn't great in the NFL.

 

And this brings me to who gets him next year. There's a lot of talk about certain teams tanking for him (mainly the Cards and Rams). That will definitely be one of the things to look out for later in the season. If the Cards get the number 1 pick it'll be interesting to see what they do with Kyler and what they'll be able to get for him in a trade (hasn't he made noises that he may not come out?)

You have to imagine McVay is frothing at the mouth at the thought of getting this guy. 

 

What do the college experts think?

The Cardinals organization is pretty much a joke but that was an amazing trade they made with Houston last draft. They have a legitimate chance at getting both Williams and Harrison Jr.

Arizona

 

but I wouldn’t count the Rams out.  Their team is much better than Az at the moment, but I still think tanking for Caleb was in their plans.  Kylers acl tear threw a wrench in that plan

The Cards are highly likely to get him, but the guys chances at succeeding there are not great based on the current roster. Even with Marvin Jr, they would still be largely devoid of top end talent.

Just hoping it’s the NFC.

The Cards could go 0-17 if the little QB doesn’t play.

Probably even if he does. The team doesn’t have much talent.

They do I deed, so they might to have to dig deep into their bag of tricks to find a way to stink even with those two studs.

He’d get 1 win at least.

Yeah I meant to say that in my post. Never mind having to face him, the NFC just needs some good young QBs to balance things out a bit.

Hmm. Not if they end up 1 and 2. Houston won't be bad enough this year to draft in the top 2. 

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

If he played for any other team but USC I would be a believer. 

[GunnerBill]

I think more of the weaker teams should be in the NFC this year. The one AFC team to keep an eye on IMO is Denver. I think Russ is on a short leash. He gets 6 weeks but if they are 2-4 or 1-5 or something like that they will pull him and hit the tank button hard.

May I suggest you look at his resume?

The Texans have the second lowest win total for this season. There is definitely a chance their pick is top 3. Williams - Maye - Harrison is a realistic possibility.

I know what Vegas thinks of them. I'm telling you now they won't earn a top 2 pick. I actually think they have a legit shot to come 2nd in their division if Stroud is anything above terrible. 

[SCBills]

Top of this draft certainly looks like 1-2 are Mahomes-Herbert comps.

Are you onboard with the Williams hype?

 

As someone who doesn't watch the college game much I can honestly say I'm pretty stunned when I watch him and some of the things he does. There have been lots of electric guys playing QB in college who are highlight machines but he seems different. His passes just look so smooth and fluid, the arm strength is great, he's got wheels, seems to have coolness under pressure. I do completely get the Mahomes comparisons.

 

It'll be fascinating to see how he does when he turns pro.

I didn't say they are a favorite to land a top two pick. I said there is a realistic chance their pick is top 3 and Arizona can land Williams and Harrison. If you think that highly of the Texans that you think this is completely outside the realm of possibility than we can agree to disagree lol.
