Official 2023 NFL Draft Thread

[red]

The general consensus is that he had nobody to throw to, and is toolsy. If you really want toolsy, take the Richardson kid and hope you can turn him into Lamar 2.0. Might take 3 years though.
I'm not overly sold on Levis. He's... okay.

another guy that people think could be "special", but did jack squat in college

classic case of a guy shooting way up boards because he can jump high and far, two things we all know are important for QBs to do

this is a guy who should probably be a 3rd rounder

[texaspackerbacker]

Don't do it, Pack. Don't. Remember the last QB you drafted who played college ball in the Commonwealth of Kentucky!

Didn't Brohm play for Kentucky?

Played in KY for Louisville

can we start talking about who we're gonna draft with the #13 pick yet?

Personally, I would trade back with both picks given the depth at position of need/rarity. But if I know gutes he will package both picks to move up 4 spots for whoever I least want.

[bobblehead]

Will Levis, QB, Kentucky.

Dunno ‘bout you, but I like my food spicy, my beer cold, my women hot, my corners dark and my QBs pale.

Love ain’t pale enough for my taste.

Love is just the right shade of caramelly goodness. Maholmes like. I like my QBs to be good and true dual threat. Love seems to be that.

classic case of a guy who should probably be a 4th rounder but moves to the top of the draft because he's one of the better QB prospects

then people start saying, well, if he's the 4th best QB why couldn't he be the #1 QB?

how can a QB who was blah in college be a top pick?

https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/4361418/will-levis

he was 71st in yards
50th in Tds
91st in INTs
and 59th in QPR

what of those numbers screams of top 5 pick?

I'm not sure who you are talking about....Jay Cutler??

[Sparkey]

The only good thing Levis will do is get drafted way too early allowing a good prospect to slide down to 15.

exactly

and every year people are left trying to figure out why so and so who sucked in college but "looked like a pro QB", and was draft #3 overall somehow busted out of the league

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm not a big Levis guy, but to say he's 4th round quality is silly. Dude has a lot of tools, and he played well in 2021 in the SEC. UK lost some players from last year. His OL sucked. They had some talent at WR, but it was really young. Similar to what Happened to Jordan Love from 2018 to 2019 at Utah State.

[HarveyWallbangers]

What's fun to think about though is that Will Levis turns 24 in July. Jordan Love turns 25 in November.

Definitely agree with your eval. He is attracting a lot of attention. He's got the size 6'4" 232, speed and arm. A skilled runner, scored 9 td's two years ago. He's intriguing , but I don't think he an NFL QB. He goes scatter arm often and gets lost in game situations. As you pointed out, he's 24 and will be a project in the league. The team that burns a 1 on him will waste a high pick

[run pMc]

Packers get a 5th and a 7th round compensatory pick (#170 and #256).

The currently have 10 picks in the 2023 draft.

and idea who they are for?

mvs was one

[run pMc]

MVS and Chandon Sullivan, supposedly. They lost out on a pick for Lucas Patrick because they signed Jarren Reed. Oren Burks' contract with SF apparently just missed the cutoff for a pick.

[Fritz]

Four seventh rounders - that's the special teams round. Load up on those types, give Bisaccia some tools, so that the ST can actually be a help instead of something to be overcome. Jordan Love's gonna need all the help he can get!
