I would take Nix in the trade down, too. I can’t see anything wrong with him. He has 60+ college starts and good football IQ, so may be NFL ready sooner than most.

I certainly wouldn't. Nix is a 5 year college QB who had unremarkable numbers until last year. Of course I don't trust any of these 5 year college QBs. They were basically men playing against boys. If they were that good they should probably have been even more dominant. It's likely they're development has already topped out given their age.

The age thing is a negative... I'd rather have a young guy too. I about lose my mind trying to figure out what these guys will look like at the NFL level. Over the years I have been wrong more than I've been right about them.

We are talking one year. No biggie. People mature at different rates too. I just don’t see anything here

Yeah that's kinda the same trap that Poles fell into with Velus.
