Those are all valid questions. The short answer is: I don’t know. Bc I’m on record as saying over and over that we as fans and media simply do not have the tools to eyeball if a college QB is considered a good nfl prospect. So, I don’t CARE how the media has them ranked. We’ve seen this time and time and again and I said it on the OP, scouts wont correct public perception
until the draft process, until they scour film
So the fact you think Shaduer is automatically better than Jaxson dart, or even Milroe or Gabriel—-is flawed.
One thing we CAN look at is precedent based on QBR. I flagged that Shaduer’s QBR did not reflect a future starting QB. Well, let’s look at Dillon Gabriel’s QBR:
2024- #2 QBR, just behind Cam Ward (Shaduer #16)
2023- #4 QBR, just behind Jayden, Nix, and McCarthy (Shaduer #57)
