His arm strength was 2nd or 3rd when tested at the combine iirc, and in his highlights there's some of him throwing 50 yards down field so there's no query with his arm afaic. Deep accuracy perhaps but overall his accuracy is still among the best.
Under pressure his numbers are no.1 iirc and Payton said as much in his press conference after asking their analysts to remove all the underneath throws so I'm not sure your assessment is right there either. Footwork maybe but it doesn't seem to effect his numbers. He takes fewer sacks than anyone despite playing in the pocket more fwiw.
As above Auburn was a no win situation so not sure much can be read from that, especially given the huge jump in numbers as soon as he left. It wasn't as though Auburn were a juggernaut before and after him showing he was at fault.

Nix is the best QB in this draft class imo. (Nothing to do with me taking him in a dynasty draft in the second round yesterday, I truly believe it)

And I can blame LicoriceAllsorts if it doesn't work out.

On second thoughts, no I am not.

LA was right about Josh Rosen and he'll be right this time too!

Easy to be in top 2 or 3 at combine when top 3 qbs (Williams, daniels,maye) don’t throw or workout at combine.
He was great at combine but the senior bowl week after a week of practice he was horrible a 3rd round prospect at best.
When timed he threw 58mph and Milton was 62mph, not a huge difference really, so even if you discount the rankings he's not far off the strongest in whole class, those who didn't throw included.
It's only an issue if it's genuinely weak like Mac Jones where getting the ball to arrive on a comeback route takes 3 weeks or throwing the ball 35 yards downfield is impossible. Nix can hit outside the hash passes with no issue and has 50+yd throws in his locker so it's a non issue.

The real reason people dislike Nix is because he looks like Skip Bayless's love child
A fair critique that is fwiw.

My favorite piece of post draft coverage - Kevin O'Connell's reaction to Kwesi telling him they had successfully traded up and were taking Dallas Turner

Joel Klatt on his podcast said that there was that much weed being smoked around their set for the first round broadcast that Charles Davis got high off the 2nd hand smoke.

Davis sounded and looked high for sure

Im over referring to people as polynesian, or black, or white.
We are all human.
And until we can act like that, there will always be racism in this world
We need to get rid of Black History Month, we need to get rid of the Rooney Rule, we need to get rid of even referring to people by different classifications. We are all human, and we can't move on from racism until we act like we're all human.

For reference, Schrager’s final mock draft for NFL.com correctly predicted 12 team-player matches, albeit not necessarily in the draft position they were selected, as Schrager projected trades in his mock draft. After accurately projecting the draft’s first four picks — which many considered predictable — Schrager bolstered his mock draft bona fides by accurately forecasting J.J. McCarthy to the Vikings, Rome Odunze to the Bears, Bo Nix to the Broncos, Tyler Guyton to the Cowboys, Graham Barton to the Buccaneers, Darius Robinson to the Cardinals and Chop Robinson to the Dolphins.
That’s not to say Schrager is always right — he guaranteed the Rams would select an offensive player in the first round, only to see Los Angeles draft Florida State defensive end Jared Verse (which he owned). And the fact that most accurate mock draft only correctly predicted 12 of the 32 first-round picks shows how fragile even the best projections can be.

Must be because they were all there in person
