Who’s everyone’s QB1 next year coming out of the draft. Thought it would be cool to see this post this time next year and see who the real couch GMs are. I think Penix is the best QB in college right now but his age has most people concerned and he’s had his share of injuries. Caleb Williams was most people’s QB1 until a couple weeks ago, then I think most people fell in love with Maye. But the past 3 weeks he’s looked bad against weak ACC defenses. Right now everyone is raving about Jayden Daniel’s TD to INT ratio and comparing him to Burrow with Joe having much better WRs. Who cares where we might draft if we had the 1st pick and didn’t have to sell the farm to get it who are you pounding the table for? I have to say Daniels he’s done great this year and he could be the next great Mobile QB.
There have been many recent posts about the upcoming draft, in reality it’s MUCH too early to even tell. Raiders are in position to possibly draft QB3/4 right now as it stands. This likely means Daniels, Penix, Nix or McCarthy depending on how you view the QBs.
Lots of things can and will change between now and end of April. If we retain AP then Daniels seems like a strong possibility due to their connection from ASU. He can throw to all levels and is a very dynamic runner. His size (weight) and some decision making may cause some to pause. Penix is a big armed left handed QB (who I think Buccs will make a strong move for), he has an injury history and accuracy at times may cause some to pause. Nix is super hot right now. Has a big arm, can be mobile if needed, some will question if it’s a system fit or if moving from SEC to Pac12 to face “lower” competition will hurt him. McCarthy is another WB people are hot on. Of course in their run first system have we seen enough of his QB talent to equate that to NFL.
Penix and Nix will be playing against each other this Friday in Allegiant so the team should get an at home look at two of the selections.
