Rate from 1-6 how you think the 1st round QBs will do in their career. They might be a multi-Super Bowl winner hall of famer or they might be a career backup. You decide. 1 is best, 6 is worst.

The order they were picked:

Caleb Williams
Jayden Daniels
Drake Maye
Michael Penix Jr
J.J. McCarthy
Bo Nix

I’ll post my order later.

  1. Caleb Williams
  2. Drake Mayo
  3. J.J. McCarthy
  4. Jayden Daniels
  5. Michael Penix Jr
  6. Bo Nix

I would actually rank Penix above Caleb Williams. Not necessarily because of stats, but because of maturity. Caleb has the appearance of becoming the NFL’s Lonzo Ball/Lavar Ball and mental immaturity is often the No. 1 factor in busts being busts.

  1. Caleb Williams

2/3 Daniels, Maye

4/5/6 Penix, McCarthy, Nix.

I’m much more of a fan of tiers than simple ranks.

Have you listened to Caleb speak? Have you watched his The Pivot interview on YouTube yet? He’s not immature. He’s actually mature beyond his age in my opinion. He’s more comfortable in his own skin than a lot of people my age are. I think this immature/diva/hollywood trope about him is all false narrative. He’s confident, but there’s nothing wrong with being confident.

My rankings (based on right now, not ultimately in their careers):
Caleb
Daniels
Penix
Maye
Nix

J.J. is an incomplete for me just due to his lack of passing experience, and that he’s always been on stacked teams without needing to carry the team to victory himself. He could be great, but he’s the big question mark for me on this list.

He impressed me too. Maybe he was well-prepared to speak in front of cameras, but he came off very mature to me.

And I say this as someone inclined to favor Nix and Penix due to watching them play so much in college (I live in the Pacific Northwest so they were on TV a lot).
