Nice to read Arif Hasan again not behind a paywall. 4 QBs in the top 32 rankings with Anthony Richardson not far behind at 37. After a shitty QB prospect class last year, I’m thinking there will be 5 QBs taken in the 1st round next spring.

As things stand today, he’s QB3 in this draft class. Likely a top 10 pick.

I’m going to have a hard time not taking this guy if he’s on the board.

From what I’m reading on him he sounds like Josh Allen, as a prospect, not current Josh Allen.

If he’s developed correctly he could be really really good.

Paywalls are lame. So I’m going to summarize it…

4 QBs with a 1st round grade - Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis

4 QBs with a 2nd to early 4th round grade - Hendon Hooker, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Bo Nix, Tanner McKee

The QB he says fits the Vikings is Tanner McKee from Stanford. Here’s his write up about him:

HT: 6-foot-6 | WT: 230 | Class: Junior
Projected range: Late Day 2/early Day 3

A polished passer who has experience from a multitude of pre-snap platforms, McKee displays great patience in the pocket. He is efficient and exhausts his progressions. In an offense that's a bit of a mixed bag with its scheme, he has been exposed to a lot of different concepts, and he appears very comfortable in all of them. McKee's greatest asset, though, is his touch. He is great with how he takes pace off of the ball and lofts it within the strike zone of his targets -- but he can also put zip on it and fit his throws into tight windows.

McKee threw for 2,947 yards, 13 touchdown passes and eight interceptions this season. Pressure exposes his flaws a bit, though -- he's a pocket passer who doesn't like to be forced off his spot.

Potential team fit: Minnesota Vikings. I'm looking at McKee's ability off play-action and comfort from multiple pre-snap platforms here. He'd be a great fit for Kevin O'Connell's offense in Minnesota. He is a quick decision-maker who operates well from a clean pocket, and while Kirk Cousins is the team's locked-in starter moving forward, McKee would be a developmental prospect who could become a solid backup option in a scheme that suits his strengths.

Yeah, some of these players didn’t take the next step in their development like the draft pundits anticipated at the start of the college season. 4 1st round grade QBs is pretty solid. Especially compared to last year.
