The QB School 2024 QB Rankings

[Ed Vette]

JT O'Sullivan's evaluation and slotting of each of the QB's top nine prospects. I believe it's a fair assessment without bias.

His numbers 2 & 3 (Daniels and McCarthy) are my numbers 1 & 2 (in a very weak class IMO).

Maybe one of the two will turn out to be a true NFL starting QB. Daniels has the tools. McCarthy has the smarts.

I have no interest in O'Sullivan's top pick (Williams). I don't trust him to be a pro. He may grow up some day, but I'd bet a steak dinner he'll turn out to be a wasted pick (not just a backup... a wasted pick).

It's interesting that you label it a weak QB class since so much of the narrative is about how strong this class is, especially compared with the next one.  With the strong subtext that if you need a QB you better get him this year.  Interesting in a good way, not the Chinese curse way.

AZRich: You laid your finger on the gist of my reasoning... next year's class is unlikely to be as "good" as this year's... BUT... that doesn't necessarily translate into this year's group being any good, and I don't think it's very good.  I'd probably bet on Daniels for the having the "quickest" path to success in the group, but I'm not even very confident in that prediction because it will depend on which team selects him and how much (if any) the coaches try to change his style. For one thing, I think he looks to run as his next option whenever a pass play breaks down on the first or second read, rather than knowing how (as Mahomes does) to buy time and re-focus as (IMO) the correct next option.

Any of the things Williams has said or done is at least as concerning as Ryan Leaf's "trip to Vegas" comment. But it is the doom of men that they forget.
