2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

I would pick Drake Maye over any other QB in the draft. It's not even close. He'll be more of a pocket passer than any of the others. Williams is a smaller 6'1" QB who is going to struggle being a pocket passer. My guess is they tailor that offense to his skillset much like the Eagles/Ravens do for their QBs. Granted, the shelf-life on those QBs is much lower than pocket passers and we continue seeing that every year.


Also, Lincoln Riley runs a high octane offense that puts up gaudy numbers. Hell, at ECU, he had two WRs that broke the NCAA reception records. TWO at small East Carolina University. All his QBs look great in his offense. (Baker/Murray/Williams)

You could insert Daniels for Williams in the above statement as well.

Think RGIII 2.0.

A flash in the pan and then the fizzle. Uber athlete. Slight build. 1 read and tuck it. No anticipation of presnap read to post snap reaction. Relies on 1st look then go. (Shotgun RPO QB)

I'm very interested in seeing what Penix does against the best defense in CFB.

I am as well. I’m late to watching this kid, but, from what I’ve seen, he’s a smooth operator.

Lead the nation in passing the last 2 years. Could possibly beat the best defense in the nation for a Chip. A resume like that dudes stock should be rising high.

National Champ.

My gut tells me Michigan wins, but if Penix puts up 30+ points on that defense...

Like Jim alluded to, I haven't been watching him this year, but he's growing on me.

Caleb is the most gifted passer in the class IMO, He can throw from any angle and any platform. He has big time potential.

I've watched Maye , Penix and Williams over the last 2 days. I'll check JD tomorrow

Our next GM and HC are out there somewhere, and soon they’ll be coming together around one of those guys (or maybe Daniels) to rebuild this franchise. This should be fun, at least that’s what I’ve heard.

I've been hearing a lot about this kid....I need to watch film of him.

A mock draft a day keeps something or other away. Going to try all different scenarios on different positions at 2 overall. By draft time, no way Penix falls back down into Rd. 2. But the QB pool after the top 4 guys doesn't do much for me. Very likely going to have to go QB at No. 2.

2. Joe Alt - OT - Notre Dame
36. Michael Penix Jr. - QB - Washington
41. J.T. Tuimoloau - EDGE - Ohio State
67. Zach Frazier - OC - West Virginia
96. Cedric Gray - LB - North Carolina
98. T.J. Tampa - CB - Iowa State
132. Cam Hart - S - Notre Dame
163. Isaiah Adams - OG - Illinois
194. Roger Rosengarten - OT - Washington

If Penix is the guy they like. Realistically how far can you drop into the first and still grab him? 10th?

Exactly. I think if you move down you can’t get behind a QB needy team. I wouldn’t being comfortable moving behind the Patriots

Consensus in the building Penix Jr is the guy, you take him at your pick
