Issue for me is multi fold.
If he lasts to 19, why wouldn't he last to 40 or 50? Why wouldn't we trade down ?
Where does Penix go?
Ways interesting is how many different grades the "experts" have on players.
Note: at this time last year Davis Allen was in Jeremiah's top 50.
There are highly talented backups that could be starters woth training that could be had later.
So let's day we're looking at
Bo Nix
Then
Michael Pratt
Tanner Mordecai
Austin Reed
Sam Hartman
Taulia Tags
And Spencer Rattler.
I know that Nix will be drafted before them.
I don't know who will be better under mcvay tutelage in 2026. They're all really similar. Right now I'd lean Mordecai. Then likely Rattler.
Yeah Nix is such a good athlete that I doubt he will last to the midround group. Of that midround group I prefer Hartman, who has a lot of snaps and fits the WCO quite well. His look with ND was disappointing but I don't think all of it was on him. Either way I like him as a backup which also might be a need for us depending on Wentz.
My issue with Nix is while he can make those deep throws (he has some nice ones on film) he doesn't seem to look for them. But if McVay takes him it means he's good with the kid's mentality and all that. There are definitely some tempting options early, depending on who goes where of course.
