Not sure if this had been posted or not, but its a very enlightening 6+ minutes of insight on how the QBs fell and what the thinking was:

Tom does a nice job of explaining the scenarios. I believe what he's saying, it makes sense. The Vikings did prefer Maye, but that doesn't mean they aren't happy with JJM. The interesting part of this is how Jayden Daniels was perceived and that Washington gave real consideration into taking McCarthy at #2. Daniels is no sure bet.....none of them are actually, of course, but Daniels is going to be interesting to watch. The Vikings were right to sweat it out and go with their thought that the Giants wouldn't take a QB. Atlanta still is a head shaker to me with Penix.

I think Bo Nix would have went for awhile if Denver didn't take him.

My own $ is that he'd be wearing Silver/Black today if Denver passed. They were pretty needy for a QB and would have taken sloppy seconds.

I admit, I was convinced the Gmen were moving on from Danny Dimes. Didnt think JJ would make it past 6 and Vikes were going to be ok with Penix...
Frankly, I would have been too. Just a hunch that if ATL does their part, he'll reward them with a good career. IF (big IF) he can stay injury free...Thats the one thing that gave me a hard pause.
They sure F'd over KC though - and handed him a bag too. I still have a hard time on them not taking Odunze or a weapon and doubling down on winning now. I think the NYGs are in the Carson Beck sweepstakes for 2025 and they are ok with that.
Yep PF.....I can have people tell me all day long how 'smart' it was of Atlanta to draft Penix, but taking a weapon like Odunze with Cousin's accuracy would have helped tremendously RIGHT NOW. Atlanta fucked up. And history will show it, IMO. And Kirko doesn't respond well to somebody breathing down his neck. The implosion factor is real. I think the NYGs will give Danny Dimes this year and if its a shit show, then they are all in on Carson Beck.

So this is the throw I was talking about a week ago that I couldn't find, at the .55 second mark against Nebraska. Rolling to his left as a right handed QB and firing a missile for a TD (really hard to do as a right handed QB). Its a NFL throw that not every starting NFL QB right now can do. Its part of why he has a really high ceiling.
