A lot of draft lists are putting Odunze above Nabers these days. I don’t see it myself, but it’s starting to be more common.

Another one I’ve noticed is getting some steam is Jayden Daniels over Drake Maye. Also buzz that JJ McCarthy is viewed higher than many think(top 10 pick).
 

Could play a factor in trades ahead of us or us trading back, if valid.

Nabers all day for me. 

Same.  Nabers absolutely took over games in a way that I never saw from Odunze.  I happened to watch the Mississippi State game when it was on, and my god.  Nabers just did whatever he wanted, and no one could do anything to even slow him down.

Not to say Odunze is bad or anything, of course.  He's fantastic, but Nabers just looks more explosive, quicker, and probably flat out faster too.  Odunze is bigger, of course, and plays bully ball better, but it's not like Nabers is undersized.

Yeah, if Alt is off the board, and if Fashanu is really dropping like the hype suggests, I would not mind a trade back at all.  Get some more middle round assets and get your tackle anyway.

I've been saying for months that JJ will be at worst the 3rd QB off the board and it is feeling more true every day. Having said that it is possible he is 4th...hadn't considered Daniels for some reason...but I really think LV, DEN, or MIN will be trying to move up to get JJ so we may have a chance to move back. 

I know I will catch all kinds of hell for this but I think if Cally falls in love with JJ we should draft him and try and trade Levis. I know we won't but McCarthy is as close to Joe Burrow as it gets and if he wanted to get him and groom him I would be okay. It doesn't hurt that I am a Michigan fan...but having said all of that I like Levis and hope we build a stronger roster and reevaluate him after seeing him with a better line and some real schemes.

Yep. The explosive factor is the main one for me. Nabers can turn anything into a big play. Not as confident saying the same about Odunze. Nabers just plays faster.

Would be one of the worst moves in NFL history in my humble opinion. I would consider changing teams lol.

I understand why people say they aren't familiar/respectful, because JJ doesn't have gaudy stats. When I say similar, it's because I see the quality of the throws, placement of throws, and athletic ability. JJ is 21 years old. I understand the dislike because he didn't play in a pass heavy offense, and I have certainly been wrong before, but I have little doubt in 2-3 years people will be shocked to see he has risen to a high end starter in the league. 

Like I said I don't want to draft him because I think out best chance is to build a better roster then evaluate the QB...I wouldn't pick a QB if we were at #1, I just think if a QB falls to us and Cally is in love with them...I say get them and let him work the way he sees fit.

the burrow comparison isn't ridiculous because mccarthy doesn't play in a pass-heavy offense, it's ridiculous because their game is worlds apart. burrow's biggest strengths are his accuracy, processing, and decision-making. those are literally mccarthy's biggest question marks.
