Great write up. Am looking forward to monitoring next year's draft class of QBs. McCall truly doesn't seem to be getting a lotta love nationally. What holds him back? Is it just because he doesn't play for a big school? Do they feel he plays against inferior competition? Perhaps just lazy scouting by national sports media. In any event, I agree that McCall looks far better than he has thus far been projected.
You have won me over with your predictions, in particular with the Hawks. The draft was a fun ride. I enjoyed how the QB's ended up. It was very interesting thinking back to the projections by the various prognosticators. You did quite well, so I'm with ya for next years QB evaluations. Looking forward to reading more thanks again!
You brought McCall to my attention, and he plays literally across the state from where I live. I've been following as much of him as I can since; though it's hard to see Sun Belt games even when they're played in your backyard. Still, if scouts and the Walter Footballs of the world aren't paying attention, that's just laziness on their part. Yes, it's the Sun Belt, but he looks like Josh Allen playing against my high school JV team. He just wins, and doesn't throw picks. He runs over and around defenders when he needs to, but it's not his first instinct. Grayson McCall is a joy to watch. I've already informed my better half that we're going to see him play on that bright field this season, it's just a matter of choosing which game.
I just can't agree that McCall is the guy. He runs in a triple option/RPO offense that makes it much easier for the QB to make decisions, even in his highlights you see he's not really going through progressions, most likely due the offense he's running. Can he do it at the professional level? I don't know, but there's not a lot of film that will show that trait due to how how is offense is structured.
I’m surprised how personally deflated and defensive the major analysts behave when teams don’t pick the players they think they should.
This year the folks getting paid to make roster decisions for the Hawks chose a RB instead of an over-mocked and rated QB list and few of the analysts that I read even attempted to understand why.
Looking forward to hearing more about McCall this year. Maybe we’ll need a QB next season and he might be the one.
Spencer Rattler will be interesting to watch. He may be Johnny Manziel but he's very talented if he gets his head right. Durability might have been Russ' greatest strength. College durability doesn't always translate but it's a start. Which of the list QBs do you think has the best chance to survive the NFL's endurance test?

I know John Schneider LOVES scouting QBs, but I am still not convinced he can talk Pete into using an earlyish first round pick on one.

Young is 6’0”/194 dripping wet. Can he withstand the inevitable pounding? (Drew Brees is 6’1”/210).
Very interesting, I'll be signing up and following the QB journeys. Just curious, do you have some quick impressions of the Seahawks UDFA Levi Lewis?
