    I will admit, I was kind of hoping the Vikings wouldn't trade up for McCarthy and would "settle" for Nix. I'll be very interested to see how he does in Denver.

    one of Nix's minor issues was overthrows on some of his long passes; playing in Denver won't help. He didn't take many hits in the passing game at Oregon either because of the OLine. I don't think the NFL will be so gentle

    This is true about all 6 QBs taken in the first round. Granted he is not an elite scrambler, (although decent) but I think he might be better than some of the others at reading a defense. Accurate and smart is a pretty good combo in the NFL...in the right system. They all will need to get rid of the ball quickly.

    I wish Denver was in a different division than the Chargers. I want to root for both now

    That's true, although Caleb Williams took plenty of hits behind that porous USC line. The NFL has a few dozen pretty elite edge rushers, and DC's are expert at disguising where pressure is coming from

    Troy Franklin goes to Broncos. So they have Forsyth, Nix and Franklin now.

    Which is kind of depressing to me because I have always hated the Broncos

    Clearly they are angling for the coveted Oregon TV market. Not to mention the merchandise sales.

    Watching the Broncos on Root will be amazing.

    Khyree Jackson taken by Vikings. I think he has the chance to be a solid player in the league

    so far, IIRC, Bo Nix, JPJ, Troy Franklin, Brandon Dorlus, and Khyree Jackson have been drafted. I think only Bucky Irving is left as a possibility. Outside shot for Evan Williams and Steven Jones. All three will probably have to sign as undrafted

    Evan Williams and Bucky both drafted. I think Bucky has the possibility to be a featured back at some point.

    Franklin dropping this far is so stupid.

    I don't care how bad his combine was.
