  • 1- Caleb Williams (QB)- Chicago Bears
  • 2- Drake Maye (QB)- Washington Commanders
  • 3- Jayden Daniels (QB)- New England Patriots
  • 4- Marvin Harrison Jr (WR)- Arizona Cardinals
  • 5- Joe Alt (OT)- Los Angeles Chargers
Small shot at JJ getting compared to Brady and pats might buy in
I like Alt to the Chargers, gives them two, young, foundational tackles to protect Herbert the rest of his career. Pretty invaluable stuff. Harbaugh values OL play

That's now new either, there's been smoke since the college regular season that NFL scouts/executives view JJ a lot higher than the general public and all the casual mocks that have him outside of the 1st.

Saints need to take a pass rusher i like Jared verse

Jayden Daniels is the best player in the draft

Nabors ceiling is Antonio Brown

Brian Thomas reminds me of Tee Higgins
How fast do you think Thomas will run?
I've seen him anywhere from 17 to the Jags and 28 to Buffalo.

there has always been prospects that the nfl is higher on than general fans

The only sure thing in this draft is Marv...Bears need to trade back to 3 and draft him expeditiously bc he won't fall past AZ

He's a better version of Larry Fitz

For my Byrdgang, Idk what the hell we will do...I wouldn't mind Latu (Edge), Verse (Edge), McKinstry (CB), Arnold (CB), Wiggins (CB) or Mitchell (CB)

Don't know how people can watch what these QB's did these play-offs, the importance of QB play and not want Caleb.

Like someone else said, there are only three other QB's in the league who can make the variety throws Caleb can on arm talent: Mahomes, Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. That's it.
You draft the guy and your coach/OC basically can draw up any kind of throw for them: touch throw dot, downfield launch code, etc.

The 2nd play right here is what the Chargers draw up for Justin Herbert all the time, a 65-70 yard bootleg shot downfield (in open air, humidity and no-wind).
Those plays from 2:15 to 2:35 are some Josh Allen shyt.



Same dude who called Mahomes as the #1 QB, Puka, Pacheco, Chris Jones, etc. as standout players says you take Caleb #1 (also has Nabers ~= MHJ).
If you're the Bears there is a really small chance you get criticized for that pick going forward even if it all turns out bad, which is highly unlikely.
Dude is basically a top 5, arguably top 3 QB prospect of the 2000's. You have a good roster, you take the QB.

I like that pick as well seeing what the Lions did with their OL - it's a very sensible pick especially seeing the drop off in Pro Bowl OL quality after the early 2nd round.

Part of me would still rather have Nabers or Bowers for the Chargers because the team really needs weapons, but honestly some of the league's truly special WR's have been 2nd round picks (A.J Brown, D.K, Deebo, Michael Thomas, Davante) and other stellar wideouts were taken even later (Kupp, Diggs, Keenan) so I wouldn't call out the team for going OL at #5.

a Mahomes comparison sounds wild, but look at these throws - insane
