Barring catastrophic injury, which could happen at any moment, this makes very little sense to me; and it suggests that he's going to be a massive bust anyway.

Completely agree with this assessment. I watched all the top QBs and came away less impressed with Maye than any of them. He seems to have some tools and the look but that’s it. I also didn’t understand why Daniels and Penix weren’t higher on boards a few months ago. Glad to se the narrative shifting.

This guy is the only one who is totally down on Maye, everybody "watched the tape" and all of them are saying he's number 2 or 3. Someone like Nix isn't even a guaranteed 1st rounder but Chris Simms has him ahead of Maye. This really reminds me of his evaluation of Fields. He had all the trust in guys like Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, even freakin Kellen Mond, but Fields wasn't even a first rounder in his opinion.

@BuddyChy

He hasn’t necessarily been wrong about Fields either, but you’re wrong about Lance. He had Lance behind Fields. We also can’t pretend that everyone else didn’t also have Zach Wilson either 2 or 3. He’s the only one that gets hate because he had him one spot too high. Mac Jones has arguably been better than Fields this far as well, at least in totality. Trevor Lawrence was the only good QB that draft. The ranking behind that pre draft doesn’t really matter anymore. Prospects were evaluated much closer together than people want to believe or remember. The exact order. Is less important.

He was right about Fields as a passer. The only thing Fields has shown in the NFL is elite scrambling and speed which he did not show in college. He still sucks as a QB and passer.

When I watched some of his tape, I have seen some of the issues he says about him. His mechanics and accuracy bother me, and I didn't see a QB that was second pick in the draft good. That being said, putting him at 6 is a bit of an overcorrection. I mean, Penix has his issues as well. I think his ceiling is higher than Nix. McCarthy seems to be a projection based on what he was asked to do at Michigan.

You don't draft any of these guys because of what they are right now. It's all about what they have the potential to be. If Jayden Daniels never improves beyond who he was last year at LSU then his career will be over very quickly. Drake Maye is a 21 year old 6 foot 4 inch 220lb, athletic QB with a strong arm. Given time to develop his potential far exceeds many QBs taken over the past few years.

In today’s game a lot of project guys are working I get Zack Wilson didn’t work and Trey Lance didn’t work. You can see this about every quarterback in the right system he will be fine. If I were the rams I would consider taking him if he falls to their pick I think Stafford has two to three more years of good football left and it will allow Maye to learn and fix his mechanics.
