2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Can someone tell me what Maye has done to get all this draft praise? I watched a bit of the Clemson game and he didn't even look like a first rounder at all. He didn't look as good as the other guys. He struggled the entire game. Looked lost. Looked like Tribusky.

He's similar to Howell in regards to how he looked better his 2nd to last year compared to his last year. His numbers were better in 2022.

UNC was a mediocre team. If you watch his highlights, that's how you know if you like him or not (as a casual fan like us, not a scout/GM), unless you're a UNC fan and watched all of this games. He has all of the tools.



Drafting QB's isn't easy. Look at Allen's stats at his last year at Wyoming. They looked like high school numbers.

QB's, all in the eye of the beholder in the 1st round. We all have our favorites, and have no clue if they will actually be good or not.

So I am a UNC fan, watched all his games and Howell's. I thought there was an outside chance that Howell "could" become a really good NFL QB, but I wouldn't have bet on it. With Maye, I would bet on it. From his first start, you could just tell he had that "it" factor. So he started 2 years, and had 2 completely different OC's and offenses. Last year he had Josh Downs too(starting for the Colts this season) and would he break away, Maye would hit him...pretty much every time. They had a much better run game last season as well...but a bad Oline both years, and the main reason he looked rough against Clemson in my opinion. My comp for him is Justin Herbert. He's got the size, the arm, the brain, and he does not get rattled...and he will take off and run too. Also been very durable...did not miss a game.
