1.Drake Maye- 21yrs

Strengths: Easy thrower who can change up speeds and trajectory. Better scrambler than some think for a big guy solid athlete. Keeps his accuracy on the move. Quick decision maker and takes the opening when he sees it. Smooth and consistent release. Has serious talent with some seasoning.

Weaknesses: Sometimes stares down the first WR. That will need to be cleaned up in the pros. Making sure he goes through progressions. Still not a finished product and may need a bit of time before he truly ready.

Summary: The apple of my eye. Big, young, good arm, potential. The type of guy if KO and McCown could coach up is the type that could elevate us into a different stratosphere with our weapons and offensive style. Would take him if we was picking first.

2.Jayden Daniels-23yrs

Strengths: Rare game speed, likens to Lamar in that department, yet comes in a better passer than Lamar was coming out. Plays well against good opponents as his best tape imo was against Alabama. Quick efficient throwing motion.

Weakness: Age and longevity concerns. I go back and forth on who I like 2nd out of Daniels and McCarthy. But Jaylen has more upside as a top level impact player. Takes hard hits and has a bad habit of leaving his feet.

Summary: The type who comes in and takes the league by storm. Likely rookie of the year. But is he Lamar or RG3 is a fair question. I see a game changer but one with longevity risk.

3.JJ McCarthy- 21yrs

Strengths: Quick setup and release. Clean footwork and keeps his eyes downfield even when he breaks the pocket Throws a catchable ball. More athletic than you think. Young as hell, a winner and a guy who has played in pro concepts through and through. I see steady mechanics even under duress.

Weaknesses: Not a huge arm. Haven't seen the high volume throws, can he carry the team? Can he be a top 10 QB? All fair questions.

Summary: The second best fit after Maye. While he may never be the best he could be in the Kirk range. Thats not a knock because Kirk solid the two things holding Kirk back is taken to much money for his talent level and never being a winner at any level. If he has that clutch gene he could be borderline top 10. I am not saying his game like Kirk, what I am comparing is his ceiling, but with a clutch gene.

Those the one I want below is the indifferent one. I have a hard time reading Nix I don't love him, but I don't completely hate him. I rank him 6 but he might be safer than Penix but I think Penix might be a little better.

6.Bo Nix-24yrs

Strengths: Checks the experience box, Has size and athleticism . Adjust throws around traffic. Has improved over time Quick setup and throws a nice ball.

Weaknesses: Old, is he maxed out? Ball placement is in the neighborhood rather than at the doorstep. I saw checkdowns with guys open... Checkdown Charlie? I saw many screens and most work outside the hashes.

Summary: Indifferent I feel he is who he is, maxed out? Safer than some but perhaps a lower ceiling.

Now I am getting tired so fuck the rest a few later names if we wanted a PS guy...

Austin Reed and Kedon Slovis fit that bill, So draft one of my 3 cut Mullens and bring in one of these 2 as the 4 and PS.

Rattler and Pratt both indifferent and slot in right after Nix at 7 and 8. Outside of Daniels and JJ the rest in stone. I spent months looking my opinion is locked in outside of my back and forth at 2 and 3. Unless somebody get caught with a huge situation this my list.

And just to be clear.....


I don't care which QB they pick.... the new (rookie) QB will have my full support.... I'll bypass any pre-draft feelings I had on them and hope for the best.... and then we will see what they look like on the field for us.....

Honestly haven’t watched enough of everyone yet. I’ll revisit mid-April when I usually have more time. As of what I’ve seen today

1) Daniels
2) Williams
//
3) Maye
//
4) McCarthy

The thing I don’t like about the JJ trade up is… I thought he would be a sneaky get 11 or a trade down. He’s young and I see upside but I didn’t think you would have to do all this to get him. It was a big 3 and he was my fallback guy. This give up 3 first is a bit rich for him even though I like him. Maye and Daniels were already there. So dang I like JJ but not 3 first for him.

I don't think Maye is as athletic as most make him out to be.... And his ball placement at times or timing is off.... and Cossell pointed out something key... why does he start drifting backwards in the pocket? That won't fly in NFL..... can he hang in there and show toughness play in and play out (esp if his "athleticism" doesn't translate well to the pros)?

He does have good size and a good arm, so I can see why KOC would love him....

Giving up 3 1st for JJ McCarthy should get you fired on the spot
