paschal's scouting report reads like a dan campbell/brad holmes wet dream.  three time captain.  eats and breathes football.  guy who goes all out for everything all the time.

Just watched his video interview with local media.  
 

Q: What are your long term goals after football

A: I want to play for as long as I can and then I want to coach.   I love ball.  

[Motown Bombers]

Chris Simms likes the pick apparently. 

 

[buddha]

btw, is this the worst qb class ever?

2013 with EJ Manuel and Geno Smith was horrific as was 2007 with JaMarcus Russell.

[Motown Bombers]

If the Lions stayed at 66, at least one of Dean or Willis would have been available.

Yes

[Motown Bombers]

So I called this pick at 66, just wrong team.

 

Giants took Ezeudu way too early. 

[TP_Fan]

Paschal. What an amazing pick.  I’ve come around. 

[Motown Bombers]

Dean and Willis may just be available at 97. 

[gehringer_2]

are we really 70 picks in and only one QB? That has to be some kind of record.

Completely out of line with what the nfl is about.  That’s how bad the teams viewed this class. 

[Motown Bombers]

Seattle has to take Willis at 72 right?

In one sense it's not completely surprising.  A lot of college ball teams aren't aiming for pro-style QBs. QBs in college are, to be blunt, expendable, which leads to offenses where they can be at risk. I don't think that will ever become a popular approach in pro football.

[Motown Bombers]

I'm not a fan of Willis but at 97 I would certainly be tempted. 

[sagnam]

There we go, the run starts

 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

WOW, Ridder goes before Willis.

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Don't the Falcons already have Ridder on their roster in Mariota?

[Motown Bombers]

Houston trades up. Do they go Willis? They just drafted Davis Mills. 

[TP_Fan]

Houston got a LB. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

So who do we want coming up here in the 3rd? Nakobe Dean? Leon Chanel? Nick Cross? Malik Willis? Sam Howell?

[Mr.TaterSalad]

I'd be interested in Damone Clark, LB out of LSU.
