ORIGINAL: David Levine 4 will be gone by 6. Penix no later than 13. Nix late 1st, early 2nd. Last year Levis (Round 2, pick 33) was a first rounder. Hooker (Round 3, pick 68) was a borderline first rd / 2nd rd pick. Willis the year before (Round 3, Pick 86) was a first rounder ... Penix, Nix going top fifteen sounds unlikely to me (as some are predicting). McCarthy as well ... the jump from where he started the draft process has been outrageous. Yes he does carry a championship pedigree, deserved or not, but I really believe his lack of performance on tape has worked for him. The same way it helped Lance. Most other QBs its a red flag, a knock against them, a sure sign of extra required development. The enigma of McCarthy and Lance has stoked fascination instead of caution. I have no idea how it will play out ... but all the draft hyperbole that pushes prospects up in mock drafts has to be tempered by teams who are worrying about #2 Lance, #3 Wilson, #3 Darnold, #10 Rosen, #2 Trubiskey, #1 Winston, #2 Mariota etc etc etc. For my money, Williams, Daniels and Maye (needing more development than the other two) look like future nfl QBs. And that's it. McCarthy, Penix, Nix look like good college QBs that deserve a shot in the pros. If one of the three prove better than a back-up I'll be surprised. Pleasantly surprised if we grab one.
