Keep an eye on JJ McCarthy of Michigan

So much is going to change over the next few months, but right now it looks like the QB class is strong at the top with Williams and Maye, but also has a pretty thick 2nd tier that could be 4 or 5 deep. 

The college season has yet to be played but I wonder if some of these 2nd tier guys are going to survey the landscape come draft declaration time & decide to remain in school. I don't know where they stand as far as eligibility remaining & I'm too lazy to look it up. Williams & Maye are locks to declare. Quinn Ewers of Texas will certainly declare as he has Arch sitting behind him & the Texas staff will be eager to show off their shiny new prize.
But the others that we've been drooling over, McCarthy, Sanders Penix, Nix, etc. might they stay in school if still eligible & declare for 2025?

He's improved a bunch in a short period of time. It was just East Carolina, but he's put in a lot of offseason work and he threw some nice NFL passes in this last game. Big time arm and mobility. Superb athlete. Continues to get stronger and bigger on a 6'3"+ frame. I think his stock is going to rise and he'd be selected in a spot Minnesota could actually take without comp or moving up. 

IMO, this upcoming Spring crop of college QBs is going to be the best in recent memory. Good time to take a QB.

You might end up looking pretty damned brilliant.

I had heard nothing about the kid until 1-2 weeks out from that draft (partially because I infamously hate mock draft season). A friend of mine who's a huge Ohio fan growled about him after their annual grudge match.

My hopes are riding high with the kid, and you look to have had a glimpse early on!

I had forgotten what I had mentioned about the QB class, turned out to be maybe right. Love the anecdote about your Ohio State buddy, they hated JJ....for good reason.

Excellent call.

Speaking from experience. Be sure to stretch out when patting yourself on the back. At our age you can pull a muscle!

He's a little dog who changes names and avatars faster than old men change their underwear. You have to keep an eye on him and watch out for his various hijinks.
