I wish him the best in following his dreams.

I thought this was a great interview . The writer anticipates a top 50 pick with an outside chance at being a first rounder. It would be great to see!

"you know with the offense we were running towards the end of the year, a lot of what we were doing was East-West, just lateral throws and not really having to throw it down the field. So, I was just catching and getting it out as fast as I could. And even before that, a lot of the routes we were doing were just catch and pitch it really fast like 3-4 yards. Christensen’s mentality was getting 3 yards, get another 2 or 3 yards and then hand it off and then do the same thing."

Pretty much what we all knew watching the gameplan of the offensive genius

The last paragraph mentions the importance of Pro Day for Brett. I have to say that this might be the busiest Pro Day Wyo has ever had. With 3 possible draft picks working out including one that should have been invited to the combine I would bet their will be a LOT of scouts in Laramie come mid-March.

I'm willing to cheer the Buffaloes over Utah this year. I usually cheer the Utes. No more.

I'm really cheering for Brett and I hope he has a great career. At this point, he is too much of a project to go in top 50. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that would be the first time ever that a non-combine invite goes top 50?

The other problem for him is that there is some real quality in this draft at other positions. Brett is probably a top 10 QB in the draft, IMO, but there aren't 10 teams in great need of a QB. I think the 6 or so teams that need a QB take one in the first. After that, I think the 2nd and 3rd rounds will be other positions that are pretty deep in this draft...WR for example.

I think his best case is 4th and he could fall all the way to undrafted. Pro-day will be a big deal for him.

Whether he gets drafted or not, I can't imagine Brett not being on a team's roster to start next season. Part of me thinks he'd be better off undrafted. If he's drafted and going in it's not a good fit, he'll be in a bad positon to stick with the team and then it becomes a scramble. But if he's undrafted a few teams with long term QB needs will most likely invite him to camp and he can pick the one that suits his skill set and experience level.

I think he competes too hard to not earn a roster spot, assuming he stays healthy. He'll definitely be on a practice squad somewhere at the very least.
