This is it.

with so many d players left this might be the perfect trade down spot
I'm not saying we should do it, but the way it's lining up, it may be a tempting time to drop back into the 2nd or even later 1st. There are going to be a number of players still available to us that we did not expect to be there, so that's good, but that also means there are going to be some players at #28 or #30 or #34 that Gute had ranked more highly. And if someone wants us to throw a mid-70s pick and give us a chance to drop back and pick up an extra early 2nd round talent, that's historically a Gutekunst deal. He may go for that.
gotta disagree, we could use 2 ol, 2 lb, 2 s, cb, rb, edge and a dt, picking up an extra 2 or 3 to move down a spot or 2 would be smart imho
still no defense after 14 picks
we could trade up right now and take the best defensive player in the draft
Bo Nix
Overview
Rare five-year starting quarterback whose play has matured in front of our eyes. Nix displays the accuracy, arm talent and athleticism consistent with today’s brand of pro quarterback. He can be punctual in getting the ball out at the top of his drop or he can work through progressions and beat defenses with second-reaction plays. He throws with good velocity and puts the ball on the money when throwing on the move. Nix has shown great improvement with his pocket poise. He’s capable of moving the sticks as a scrambler or as part of the running game. Some of his gaudy production has been driven by the Oregon offense’s design, but his talent clearly stands out. I’ve harbored bias from watching the overwhelmed version of Nix during his Auburn days, but as the saying goes, “tape don’t lie.” Nix appears more than ready to attack the league with an NFL-caliber skill set.
Strengths
Good pre-snap recognition for expedited post-snap itinerary.
Big hands to manipulate defenses with aggressive pump fakes.
Shows ability to work through options and find what he likes.
Generates quality velocity from a sudden, compact release.
Ball comes out of his hand with good pace and without much effort.
Impressive run-and-rip talent throwing accurately on the move.
Play-extender with arm talent to win with secondary action as passer.
Internal clock and athleticism help him avoid sacks.
Toughness and talent to move the sticks on called runs.
Weaknesses
Nearly 30 percent of his passes in 2023 were thrown behind the line of scrimmage, per Pro Football Focus.
Tends to short-arm throws when blitz is leaking in.
Decision-making can take a hit when he extends the play.
Left easy touchdowns on the field due to overthrows.
Bucket throws will come out a little flat.
Needs to do a better job of throwing receivers away from coverage.
Ring the bells that still can ring

Is that the last QB that goes in R1 ?
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Almost has to be. Who else is left? Rattler, a consensus mid-late Day Two? That'd be just completely crazy.
Takes one option away from Green Bay. I figured there'd be a marginal QB still available in the mid-20s, and some team would want to trade up and get him. Pick up a couple more Day Two picks.
Ain't happenin' now.
