All the experts keep saying this is one of the most talent packed rookie class in a long time with a lot of top tier QBs. Obviously being that we’re probably in the mix for a QB I just don’t see it. Maye seems super mid, Caleb Williams looks like a turnover machine, penix looks inconsistent. I just don’t get it. They don’t look like they have the talent that someone like Andrew luck had coming out, or someone dominant alike. Please someone school me and assure me I’m missing something. I understand you can have someone like mahomes or Josh Allen from some random school that ends up being good.

    One of them will become a perennial all pro

    Just no way to know which one.

    I don’t remember reading a lot of people falling over themselves for last year’s class either , even though 4 of them were expected to go high ( Levis sliding )

    CJ Stroud is obviously on his way.

    Richardson looked great and now he’s just a health question mark , he was much maligned in lead up to draft as maybe being a complete bust potentially

    Even Levis has looked real good

    Hopefully Bryce straightens it out

    But regarding Stroud … Noone was excited enough about his NFL potential to not second guess if he was gonna be a good pick.

    Now Houston has a guy who is probably gonna be a decade long solution

    Unfortunately they still have their ridiculous looking uniforms, but that’s not gonna change

    Yes. You are.

    You draft based on traits (i.e. arm talent, processing, awareness), not college statistics/performance. Josh Allen’s college tape wasnt great, but he had elite traits that make him an elite NFL QB.

    Maye & Caleb both have +traits and that’s what scouts are looking at when they assess these guys.

    This is a great draft class for a qb , be glad it’s not the draft class that had Kenny Pickett as the only first round qb taken

    I’ve yet for people to tell me what makes Maye more talented as a prospect than Williams other than perceived attitude and hype fatigue.

    I haven’t heard anyone say they are luck love prospects, that said Luck has been widely touted as the best qb prospect in almost 15 years.

    What I have heard is that Maye and Williams are on the same tier as T Law as prospects so if you set your expectations on them being guys showing talent that could be too 10 nfl QB you’ll be in the right area

    The final reason for the hype is that draft pundits don’t like next years qbs so may and Williams will get a bump as they are sandwiched between last years bad qb class and the projection of a bad class next year as well

    Mahomes being not even picked in the top ten says it all. There is never really sure fire draft prospects especially in todays nfl.
