This is more of an offseason post and I won’t be surprised if it gets removed. Sorry in advance.

Anyway, I’ve been watching a lot more college ball than I ever have before. Seems like people regard Caleb Williams as the best overall prospect based on his physical abilities and ability to make crazy stuff happen.

I’ve also heard Drake Maye’s name pop up quite a bit. I’ve noticed he’s only got two years played, disregarding his redshirt year. Seemed to be a top tier prospect, but I’m a little confused about why NFL fans think he should be the second QB taken in the draft. How many times have we seen dudes who played a limited time in college go on and prove to not be ready for the NFL?

Next there’s Bo Nix. Dude is lighting it up this year for Oregon. I would think he would be rated over Maye.

Michael Penix Jr. is my favorite prospect. He’s not perfect but he’s got a nice lefty deep ball and he’s fun to watch. Possible Heisman candidate. His completion percentage is low tonight, but playing in pouring rain will do that.

That all being said, I understand that a big part of evaluating the talent of college guys depends on the strength of their teammates, and the strength of their opponents.

Just want some discussion here. Forgive me for being a layman

Caleb Williams can make all the throws and run the ball better than you think . Only problems are attitude and somewhat disappearing against good defenses .

Drake Maye has everything size related you could want in a QB. Really good last year and fell off a bit this year but still a great prospect

Bo Nix is a guy I’m not very high on since im a UGA fan and Everytime we’ve played him he’s been irrelevant. UGA defense is closest thing you can get to NFL defenses in college and he struggled heavily . Older prospect but has had an insane year this year .

For penix I haven’t watched enough of him to say anything but he’s also had a good year statistically

Honorable mention to Jayden daniels who’s probably gonna blast up draft boards after these last couple weeks and I’m sure his combine numbers will be insane .

Outside of the top guys there is honestly some decent Guys who could do some stuff in the NFL and I think like always it’ll be based on what situation guys go to
