    I don’t hate this idea but the drop off from Williams/Maye to Penix/McCarthy/etc is significant.

    Historically there’s just not a lot of success in the mid first round (please ignore Mahomes and Watson we don’t discuss that draft). But That’s usually where Josh Rosen, Mac Jones, Jordan Love, etc. are at.

    Getting guys like Russ, Dak, Hurts, etc in mid rounds are a total fluke IMO. There are 5-10 QBs drafted every year in that range and I can think of 3 in the league right now that can play at a high level. For reference Jalen Hurts and Drew Lock were almost the same pick in different drafts.

      Jayden Daniels is really starting to pique my interest. I still have a lot to learn about all these prospects, but I’m wondering if Williams and Mayes are living off their reputations while this kid is outplaying the field.
