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

I can see 5 QBs taken in the 1st round this year: Williams, Maye, Penix Jr, Nix, and McCarthy.

Jayden Daniels might be in that conversation but I haven't seen many LSU games or any of his highlights outside of his 8 TD game yesterday
