My key takeaways:

• Sounds like all the various draft evaluations of Will Levis have been pretty spot on

• Will has a rail-gun for an arm with a short dart like throwing motion which translates well to the NFL because you want to be able to get throws off in a small space

• Very classic NFL measurables (size, weight) with decent mobility

• Played with lesser talent which makes evaluation a little bit more difficult

• But does have a few instances of very questionable decision making without pressure

Ultimately it’ll come down to how scouts evaluate Will’s ability to quicken his decision making/processing ability and general football intelligence to, let’s say, close the gap of someone at CJ Stroud’s level. If he can be coached to make better reads, his upside is very appealing. If we’re going quarterback at 1.02 I’d rather have CJ Stroud, but if we take Will Anderson and look for a high ceiling guy at 1.12, I wouldn’t be sad about taking Levis.

My key takeaways from the video are:

A) I can completely see why Josh McCown was on the short list for the coaching position at the Texans. I’m glad he’s getting his feet wet as a QB coach first. I can see him having a DeMeco Ryan’s like trajectory.

B) CJ Stroud has been lower on my QB’s to take list – but this video has changed my mind a bit. He might not have the tremendous physical upside of other prospects or the intangibles of Bryce Young, but he certainly has enough of both to be a very good NFL quarterback.

It’ll be interesting if we got a big armed quarterback who is more of a project.

It looked like to me that Nick was on the verge of tears – his voice got shaky and it kept on hitting a high inflection. Say what you want about Nick but it seems like at the very least he cares about his position and is humble enough to understand that he’s not above his mistakes. Honestly I think he’s the only bright spot for the Texans and I hope he gets the coaching candidate that he wants this time around.
