This former 5 star QB was the SEC freshman of the year. He is great under pressure. There is a lot to like. His accuray is very good as is his arm. Projected draft pick, Round one
2 ) Drake Maye. He is hyped as well as he should be, but has not played well this year. But he is a down the field passer who completes a high % of his passes ( 72.5 % ) and is big at 6'4' 230 pounds! He can take a hit and is tough to sack because he processes information so quickly. He has good pocket mobility too. He threw too many interceptions this year. ( 4 ) This 21 year old is likely as top 5 pick when he come out. Projected draft pick, Round one
3 ) Micheal Pexix. This six year college player had a very good 5th year. He also has had too many injuries which will need to be checked out. But his play is excellent. He just played in an EPIC game over Oregon.Penix suffered a torn ACL in both 2018 and 2020. He also suffered a sternoclavicular joint injury in 2019, then an AC joint injury in his shoulder in 2021. Who are your team surgeons? How is your OL? That injury bug is dug in something fierce. He is a talented player but very fragile. He has been hurt in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. With his injury history , he is off my draft board for round one. He is also playing in well vs some so -so teams. Projected draft pick, Round one
4) J McCarthy. He is tall enough 6'3", has a very good arm and he has some wheels. The highest rated college QBR rated guy to date. But he plays in a run-heavy offense with limited passing attempts. He could fit in the NFL on an offense that features a good ground game, uses play action, with some RPO options. He is he top QBR rated QB. Ifhe beat Ohio State a top 5 college team, he will move up. Projected draft pick , Round one
5 ) Drew Allar. This 19 year old is the best QB prospect his age I have ever seen! The 6'5" 245 pound kid has a A+ arm. The ball comes out of his hand like a rocket. A good passer, he has not thrown an interception in a game or in practice. He is a tad overweight and is still growing into his body. Obviously he has a lot to learn. Likely to stay in school another year, but if he goes pro in 2024, he is worth a top 15 pick right now. If you have to sit him for a year, so what! He is a rare prospect that is worth the wait. Projected draft pick , Round one
6 ) Caleb Willimas. 6'1" 215 pounds. This guy has lit up the pack 12. But his stats are great. His accuracy is very good. His arm is good, not great. He really has three WR's that rip up the Big 12. He has good running ability and I want to see his legit NFL measurements, and I question his NFL durability which combined with his playing style could spell trouble. He is close to 6 feet. Maybe a tad shorter than that. He was terrible vs Norte Dame. Lately this there has been a story that he wants ownership. Major red flag. Projected draft pick , Round one
7) Daniels. He has a good arm, and is mobile. He has torn it up. But he is throwing to future NFL receivers, and is rail thin, originally listed at 6'4" 185 pounds and injury prone. He has several neck and head injuries. As such he is a medical red flag. But as a QB in college he is clearly good. Projected draft pick, Round two.
8 ) Pratt. He completed 70% of his passes ( 9.5 yards per attempt ) and had thrown for 15 td's, 3 ints on a talentless Tulae team. Pratt is well built and is a short yardage runner, I have not seen him play in a full game ( unlike the others typo 8 on the list on the list ) , but I have seen his highlights. This kids home town is based by me. So I have a little insight to him. He is smart , well built and strong. Projected draft pick round three.
9 ) Dillion Gabriel. He is a very accurate QB with a very good QBR and stats. His arm is only better than average. He played very well vs Texas. But he is short at 5'11 and light at 200 lbs, I need to see him again vs quality competition. Projected draft pick, round three.
10 ) Brock Vandgirff. He is a good sized QB, who can throw and run well. Places the ball well. Has a good arm and quick release. Needs to play more. A lot more. But I am rating prospects here. Any number of starters will rate higher but the word is he is going to be special, so I'm giving him the 10th spot for now. Projected draft pick, ???
