  1. Not with Caleb's arm. I'd worry if the QB had a meh arm. But Caleb has a rocket. Caleb is originally of course from the DMV so its not as if he's not experienced cold weather.
  2. It's been eons since we've been in the driver seat to take a QB. And granted for me am just riding with what i've seen. I trust my instincts on scoping out bad QBs. Am better at that than I am at scoping out the good ones. lol, i am known for crapping on Darnold and lesser known for doing the same on Rosen, Trubisky among others. But for me Maye doesn't have those same red flags, not even close. He can make throws on every level. Out routes, in routes. Has touch on his throws. He can gun it. Goes through 3-4 reads on some plays. Makes plays off platform. He can run. He has the full arsenal. He's not perfect. i laid out his flaws. But if we are waiting for the draft community and fans to fully embrace him or any QB prospect, its not happening. It rarely does. But that doesn't bother me. These QBs get torn apart. It means nothing though. Here are some on Herbert. I can easily add like another 15 articles beyond the ones below. https://ditchrich.substack.com/p/justin-herbert-bad-takes-shaker-samman Alex Rollins is one of the smartest film reviewers on YouTube, and his videos legitimately have made me a better football watcher—but boy, was he wrong on this one. https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/content/2020-01-03-oregon-quarterback-justin-herbert-looks-like-a-future-nfl-draft-bust/ Oregon Quarterback Justin Herbert Looks Like a Future NFL Draft Bust “There is not a guy that I am more afraid of drafting at quarterback than Justin Herbert of Oregon… I watched that Wisconsin game and thought ‘I can’t believe people think he’s going to be accurate at the next level’. He turned the football over and all of Oregon’s points were set up by their defense getting turnovers. He’s supposed to be a dynamic quarterback but he only threw for 150 yards in a bowl game. He has too many hits and misses and he’s so inconsistent. At times he looks like Josh Allen because he runs with the football but he didn’t do it a lot during the season. I look and think ‘My God is he inaccurate’ and ‘Where is he throwing the football??’ He’s a really dicey pick and the guy makes me really nervous.” https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/draft/2021/04/23/nfl-draft-2021-penei-sewell-upset-over-justin-herbert-criticism/7347556002/ Oregon OT prospect Penei Sewell: Seeing Justin Herbert NFL draft 'slander' hurt Penei Sewell felt the sting before he entered the NFL prospect conversation. The Oregon left tackle says he’s on social media, so “to say I don’t ever see (criticism) is a lie.” But before his talent and potential were the focus of fan and evaluator scrutiny, Sewell watched his college teammate Justin Herbert go through the wringer. Questions swirled about whether the Oregon gun-slinger, who skews quiet by nature, could adequately lead an NFL locker room. “To see the slander Justin Herbert was getting, I even hurt,” Sewell told USA TODAY Sports over Zoom on Thursday. “I was even hurting. I took it personal, too, like, ‘Why y’all even think this and that?’ Then I was like – just wait. Just wait ’til he has his opportunity. Justin Herbert will do Justin Herbert things.
  3. I think his decision making is fine. He's got some gun slinger in him. But its not like he throws a ton of picks or turnover worthy throws. The irony is when he misses the throws can look especially wild because he's often throwing away from the defender so the defender doesn't have a shot to get the ball. I've ripped Darnold, Rosen and Tribisky on various threads over the years after diving deep into their games. Their decision making was atrocious. The thought hasn't even crossed my mind when watching Maye. He actually has to go through his progressions. When he gets flushed out of his pocket, he doesn't just take off and run like Daniels does. As far as accuracy, his issue isn't struggling with 2nd level passes up the middle. Not even close. It's when he throws off platform, he makes some either incredible highlight throws or misses. Hot and cold. He needs to work on that. And the other thing is when he's pressured (which happens a lot), he rushes and his mechanics suffer -- often its on throws in the flat on the first level. He's accurate in the middle, PFF isn't giving him high grades for missing passes left and right in the middle. https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2024-nfl-draft-quarterback-superlatives BEST OVER THE MIDDLE: DRAKE MAYE, NORTH CAROLINA This one is close between a few quarterbacks, but I gave the nod to Maye. Specifically, we’re looking at throws of 10-20 yards downfield and between the numbers. First of all, Maye has done it often over the last two years with 104 attempts in that area. He also has NFL-caliber velocity to continue to attack in this area. His four big-time throws were tied for fourth in college football. He also only threw three turnover-worthy plays. He led the nation with 61 first downs targeting that area and had a strong 132.8 quarterback rating.
  4. The draft season is too long. The Maye-Daniels debate from the media standpoint seems to come in waves. Maye seemed to have much of the wave, not all until the combine and then much of the draft media fell in love with Daniels. Feels like momentum coming a little more to Maye this week. But it feels somewhat even. But all the back and forth its clearly BS. Though if i had to pick 2 players who might be considered here who have had a weird ride with the mock drafters. Darius Robinson and Fashanu. Fashanu started with the top 5 hype. One draft guy, forgetting which one said he might be the best player in the draft. But in recent weeks have seen him fall to LT #4 or #5 and into the teens in mocks. Now i see he's starting to creep back closer to the top 10. Robinson pre Senior Bowel -- 2nd -3rd rounder. After the Senior Bowl, first round lock, maybe even in the teens. Now i see him in the 2nd in most mocks. Among the QBs, I'd say Nix has had the most variance. Top 10 or 2nd rounder in some mocks. Then it was top 20. Now top 20 or 2nd round. The top 10 has disappeared.
  5. Anyone can bust. I am not the only one who used the Trevor Lawrence comps for better or worse including some ex-QBs. Forget the high pedigree can't missed billing he got before entering the pros. As a pro player, he's been arguably middle of the road. One bad season. One good season. One so so season. But yeah I do think Maye has the higher floor over Daniels.
  6. @Chump Bailey good debate, all in fun. 😎 I get the concern. Disagree with the Jason Campbell comp. Outside of both being tall don't see much in common Campbell was a one year wonder in college and it wasn't that hot of a season -- 20 TD 7 INTs. 2700 yards. Now that was PEAK Campbell in college. Most considered him a 2nd rounder when this team suprisingly took him in the late first. I admit its too long for me to recall the college verson of Campbell. But the pro version had a slow release. Threw a flat deep ball. didn't throw Tds. Was conservative yet threw his share of picks. Maye had 38 TDs in 2022. That would be two seasons combined for a typical Campbell season, pros or college. If I am going worse case scenario on Maye, I think Trevor Lawrence works as a comp. Lawrence has big time tools like Maye but is maddingly inconsistent and hasn't worked his way through it. I think Lawrence has been decent but in that 15-20 range and its not clear if he can break through that. As you know, I am betting that Maye ends up a franchise QB. But if it goes south, I'd be surprised if he sucked but it wouldn't shock me if he was up and down like Lawrence.
  7. This is obvious when you watch and rewatch Maye's games which I have done more than any other player I've ever watched. It's not just the drops but the lack of seperation. I've mentioned this before. It's also a thing that Logan Paulsen alluded to when explaining why he moved from Daniels being QB #2 for him to now Maye being his #2 -- when he watched the all 22 film, he could see what Maye was dealing with and what Daniels was dealing with.
  8. Interesting so Quinn should have a good window on Texas players
  9. He's my TE 2, too. YAC. Between Fauga, Fashanu and Fautanu all likely going in the first round that's a mouthful
  10. JM: You really are a student-athlete at Yale. want to talk about your measurements. You clocked in at 6-foot-5 and 323 pounds with 36-inch arms and an 85.5-inch wingspan. The length is especially eye-opening. How do you use that length to your advantage? Kiran Amegadjie: It’s everything. Length is at the forefront of my game. It’s the biggest advantage I have on the field, especially in pass protection. It’s really about getting my hands on my opponent and locking out. If I get in a position where I get my hands on a guy, I know he can’t touch me. If he can’t touch me, he can’t shed the block. It’s really that simple. For me, I’d say length is my biggest weapon. JM: Do you have a favorite pass set? Are you a vertical set guy? Kiran Amegadjie: Honestly, no. I don’t have a favorite. My base set is an angle set. I don’t necessarily have a favorite. I love to switch it up in practice and try different things. When it comes to game time, I’ll typically lean on my base fundamentals. That’s the honest truth. I love playing around and tinkering with my base set though. I love to try new things out. Football is a game at the end of the day. You have to play around with it and play the game within the game a little bit. JM: I love that approach. What's your favorite play to run in the playbook? Kiran Amegadjie: Definitely duo. Duo is my favorite play. It’s so physical. It’s a vertical, downhill running scheme. I love that approach. It’s extremely physical at the point of attack. It creates as many double teams as possible. It displaces defenders off the line of scrimmage. It’s a tone-setter up front. We were so good at it at Yale that we ran it on 3rd-and-10 (laughs). We ran it a bunch on 3rd-and-10 this past season before I got injured. We picked up a bunch of first downs too. That was our bread-and-butter play. JM: Running it on 3rd-and-10 is hilarious. Do you see yourself playing in a gap/power scheme, or are you a better fit for a zone-blocking system that gets you out in space? Kiran Amegadjie: I honestly think I fit in both schemes. I have a lot of athleticism to get out in space. I can move and block defenders in space. I can climb to the second level. I love displacing defenders. A zone-based scheme is amazing for that. I also think the biggest part of my game, especially in the run game, it’s my pop at the point of attack. I’m super strong, which also leans favorably towards that gap scheme. I love a physical scheme. It’s very much downhill as opposed to something zone-based. I fit both systems. JM: You’re versatile that way. With the NFL Combine now in our rearview mirror, do you have any upcoming Top 30 visits? Kiran Amegadjie: I have a few scheduled for April. I’ll be in Cleveland for a visit with the Browns. I’ll be back home in Chicago for a visit with the Bears. I’m also going to be in Washington, D.C. I think I have a few more on the books, about three or four more visits that we’re still scheduling right now. I also had 10 formals at the NFL Combine. I met with every team at least informally. JM: There’s a lot of interest in you and it’s easy to see why. This has been an outstanding conversation. We've appreciated your time today. What kind of impact is Kiran Amegadjie going to make at the next level? Kiran Amegadjie: When you draft Kiran Amegadjie, you’re getting a flat-out ball player at the end of the day. I’m a super-talented, tough, and physical player. I work extremely hard. I’m very dedicated and driven. I want to be the best player I can be at the end of the day. I have the ability to be the best. I know what I’m going to be. In 10-15 years, people are going to look back on me as the best offensive tackle in the 2024 NFL Draft. I know that for a fact not because of what I’ve done before, but because I know exactly what I’m going to do moving forward. I know how badly I want this. I know how much work I’m going to put in. I want to be great. I’m a can't-miss prospect. https://thedraftnetwork.com/2024/03/17/kiran-amegadjie-nfl-draft-interview
  11. I coudln't find anything to watch Kiran albiet I haven't looked of late. He defintely has the length.
  12. Only if they feel both QBs are equally good. Otherwise take the better QB. Our opinions on these QBs are of course meaningless. I'd love to know what they are thinking. 😎. But I think either we will never know what they think until they make their pick or maybe it gets leaked some after their prodays - team visits.
