The team that, in my opinion, got a bargain is Denver with Bo Nix. He did have a lot of wide open receivers and threw underneath crosses a lot in Oregon's offense, but I see him as a sort of "system guy" who should thrive under Sean Payton.

What I want to know is where you find the highlight films of the highly touted QBs throwing under duress? All the highlight films show at best is a successful throw into a tight window which is made on a rollout or clean pocket. I often hear talking heads rave over prospects while showing film of constant throws to wide open first reads.
I cannot believe some of the high first round draft pick QBs that had glaring defects I think it was Rick Mirer who could only read half the field and struggled throwing to his left. Ryan Leaf was a lazy head case. I knew people who came from Washington who knew people who interacted with Ryan Leaf
and said he was the biggest arrogant A-hole they ever met and was a slacker that just got by on god given size and talent.
Both Mirer and Leaf were #2 overall picks. I am curious how well these guys were vetted? I guess someone how they fool people.
The reason why I am high on Pennix is the amazing throws he can make under duress.
