    Ridder checks way more boxes than the others for me. In terms of physical skill set and size

    I like Ridder a lot. Posted my initial impressions early in the thread.

    Although I'm higher on Malik Willis. He reminds me of.....Deshaun Watson...quite a bit with his play style. Better runner though. I think he could be Lamar Jackson, but with Deshaun's throwing ability.

    Willis has more Lamar than Deshaun imo, really not accurate outside of this year.

    I think he slots somewhere between the two in terms of skill set. If he can continue to hone in that passing ability, he can be great.

    I know people aren't super impressed by the QB crop this year. Neither one of these guys are going to get tons of press because of the schools they play at. Strong included (though I'm not sold on him), but I think they're both players.

    I'm just drawn to Willis. I think he's electric.


    But I love the swagger and will to win of Ridder.

    That swagger is why I like Corral, I like him over Willis because of arm talent. I think I’d take Ridder over Corral because of size

    I think it’s between Corral and Willis at least for me …Corral looks a tad more refined in the pocket and larger school is a plus

    I think I’m talking myself into a prospect, I don’t think any are can’t miss.

    Yea supposedly Trevor Lawrence is a once in a generation type can’t miss and if that is the ceiling, I’m worried if any guys are worth it considering there is no Trevor Lawrence quality likely in the next two drafts .., woe is Texans luck

    Best thing that can happen is Mills shows out.
    It’s doubtful but one can hope

    The can't miss guys aren't ways the best guys. You can't sit around and wait for the stars to align and for you to have the number one pick when there's a can't miss guy.

    Peyton Manning and Tom Brady were neither the first QB taken in their draft. Neither was Mahomes. Or Rodgers. Or Lamar Jackson. I can keep going down the list.

    Hell, Mahomes wasn't really looked at by most until the draft process began.

    Manning went 1 overall and was a super prospect like Luck, Elway. Overall good point tho

    Oh yeah! If the Texans don't get the top overall pick, they'll trade Deshaun plus 10 #1's
