It's a crowded QB market for the 2021 draft. It might be a good business decision for Wilson to come back

Some scouts have already said that they want to see him go up against better competition

If he can't grade higher than the QB from North Dakota state who played one game

But being the 4 or 5th QB off the board could land him on a better team

Washington finally has a coach and someone to tell Snyder to stuff it. Agree on the others.

Not true at all. Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, Mahomes, Eli Manning, etc.

There is about a $5M/yr contract difference between 3rd & 4th QB picks usually

Could be. It will be interesting to see where he grades out.

I can see both sides. He'll have a tough decision to make, but the good kind.

No reason to come back and play that gauntlet of a schedule with a team that

If he doesn't grade out for guaranteed first rounder, he should come back. He could end up in the top-10 in 2022.

Turnpike Lane

10/21/20 10:54am

Also, being a first round pick a team is more likely to give you every chance

cougaman

10/21/20 10:57am

Not if he finishes the season they way he is playing now

scottpete

10/21/20 10:54am

I’d rather go at the end of the first round or beginning of the 2nd then be #1.

Would that be worth the millions he’d lose?

John Beck was a 2nd round pick. You can't guarantee it's in a good situation

Your bank account might disagree.

Yeah because he won't possibly be able to feed his family otherwise.

I wouldn't call Arizona, where Rosen got picked, a good situation.

My guess is it depends on whether he wants a true shot at the Heisman or not

Lawrence is a true junior. Only way he wasn’t coming back was if he opted out because of Covid.

Waiting a year is not far fetched. Mac Jones is having a similar year at higher

It seems that the top 15-20 players in the draft are sure-fire NFL starters.

He has more to lose / less to gain in his draft stock IMo by staying

D.T. Survivor

Why? And take the chance of lowering his stock his sr year like so many before

It would be his junior year next year.

Cougar Jazz Fan

Wait, why would it be his junior year next year? Are all players being granted

Yes. This year doesn’t count toward the eligibility clock.
