Klatt explains what he looks for in every QB prospect, focusing on their football IQ, pocket control, arm talent, creativity, and mobility. Then, he describes what makes Caleb Williams an elite talent in every category before discussing why he believes Drake Maye is right behind him at number two.

• Joel Klatt breaks down...

[@JoelKlattShow]

Where do you think these quarterbacks will be drafted?

[@GavinEstes16]

Caleb Chicago, JD5 Washington, Maye New England, JJ Minnesota, Bo Nix Denver and Penix Seattle

[@CasonovaCorkClub]

I hear from PFF Jayden Daniels has a HIGH Sack ratio .. I think that matters ... as opposed to Penix's low sack ratio he takes. ... Make no mistake .. Penix could be special in the NFL in the right situation. ... Penix threading the needle vs Texas 19 yards a dart .. was NFL Stuff.

[@marlonpierre9832]

@JoelKlattShow...you forgot the most important aspect of determining if you have an Elite QB prospect. It is a quarterback's mental toughness. Without this nothing else matters. This is why many of you can't see why these guys turn out to be bust. If I see my QB crying in his mom's arms cradled like a baby, wearing pink fingernail polish and consciously putting on a dress...my friend I have to question his mental wellness. He doesn't look like a leader of men to me, he looks like a head case.

[@louisbrooks8824]

This might turn out to be the most successful QB and WR draft classes ever. Caleb, JDs, Maye, JJ, Nix, Penix.

i just hope he doesn't RG3 himself... you almost never see top ranked QB prospects who regularly jump head first into contact like a deer leaping into traffic, which we saw Jayden do far too often.... if he doesn't instantly correct that at the next level, he'll figure out why NFL stands for "Not For Long"

[@brendanharan4501]

There is one throw that Caleb Williams made at Utah in 2022 that looked like an Angel came down and pushed an overthrown ball directly into the receivers hands. The broadcast cut out and went static for a second it’s crazy. What’s even crazier is that USC still lost. The way Utah was playing that season, god himself wasn’t even going to beat them in their house.

[@seaborn7023]

Nice analysis Joel. You convinced me over the negatives of others on Drake Maye. And your analysis of Penix and Nix is really helpful. Would love to know where you stand on QB’s 7-10. Any chance any of them will be NFL starters?

[@garethjohnson8579]

Wish this was longer

[@coreykrause6122]

What Joel says is absolutely correct, Caleb is elite in all categories in college. Unfortunately the NFL is a whole different level of play. I hope he can make the transition.

[@visforvegan8]

This is all well and good, but I never read the 5* reviews, I always go to the 1* reviews to see if there are any defects that are consistent and concerning. Frankly I'll be happy if the Giants can land one of these guys, they all have elite skills to work with. I'm the mock drafts I've run, I get Penix everytime I want by trading back several times in the 1st, and picking up more capital to fill out the roster. Something I can't do if I trade up, or even sit at 6.

[@josephwilmoth8645]

Hey Joel! I would love to see your analysis on Spencer Rattler while in South Carolina and where he could end up going in the draft. I feel like his name goes unmentioned with the swath of QB talent in the draft and as a former top prospect in college, he still has the potential to "rise from the ashes" so to speak. Thanks!

[@jeffreywitherspoon5055]

Joel the greatest Klatt

[@jammininthepast]

Thanks Joel, GO BUFFS.

[@lukiepookie6227]

Loved the breakdown. I do think however that drake is an elite runner. I believe he has the 2nd most 10+ runs behind Daniels over the past 2 years. He’s either 2nd or 1st for carries for first downs as well. He’s a deceptive runner, doesn’t look as flashy as Caleb or Daniels, but he can definitely be a threat for the defense

[@SlipandRip710]

Klatt was fired up

[@Polar21Pilot]

Wonderful break down of their talents, as a Broncos fan I'm hopeful they can land Bo Nix, ideally after trading down to get more capital and still draft him. But i know that's risky potentially. I'd also love them to land JJ as a michigan fan, but i doubt that'll happen, and i get that Nix seems to be a perfect fit in Denver. Here's to a good draft!!!

[@pierrekid]

Like Favre, making WR look amazing.

[@OPSteel97]

You know what’s not sufficiently tested with Penix? His leverage and pitch selection under pressure. The sample size isn’t large enough yet, and for a team to risk their R1 pick on him is gonna be tough. He will be pressured in the NFL, so we’ll have to wait and see. Other than that, I am all in on Penix. His accuracy and decision making are #1 in this draft.

[@Footballexpert100]

I think: Nix, Pennix, and McCarthy have the best chances to be the best QBs from this draft

[@rjkerrigan7]

Honestly fair, cause there gonna go to decent teams

[@Footballexpert100]

@@rjkerrigan7 I don’t believe the hype on Williams, Maye, and Daniels.

[@ernestgarduno1492]

Daniels, Williams and Maye I don’t think have the NFL caliber talent needed to do well. They’ll end up as another Murray, or Wilson. Nix is mentally best built for the NFL, Penix is best for arm strength, and J.J. Is yet to be decided. I think J.J. Is better than the 3 QBs ahead of him however.

[@charleslongwell645]

What do you think of Joe Milton III ? I think he has size and athleticism and as a late round pick could be worth a shot to sit and develop. He has great arm strength and very athletic for his size. I thought a pairing of Milton with the Giants and Brian Daboll would be interesting as a 4th or 5th round pick. What is your opinion?

[@TalkingBallWithJawan]

I think all of these quarterbacks have a chance to be successful depending on the team that they go to we know that's how the NFL is you can have as much talent as you want but if you go to a sorry team you probably won't have a chance to be very good

[@brokave268]

I'd have to say Maye’s mobility is definitely elite

Thanks Joel for breaking that down, I get why so many have suggested this is a special draft year. A ton of talent in the QB room. I believe it was Coach Harbaugh who said JJ was a generational QB. I tend to believe Jim knows what he’s looking at. They say JJ is even more impressive on the white board. Michigan culture is about winning and development. Might JJ be the next Tom Brady out of Michigan? Go Blue! 〽️🏆🌹

[@turtleislandlac1490]

There are people in the comments hoping Joel will give a reason why Caleb might be a bust. Its' that bandwagon mentality.

[@daverobertson5962]

Do you think the Vikings should move up to get a QB or stick and pick at 11. Looks like they will have to give up the 2 first round picks this year and next year's 1st rounder as well. Which sounds too pricey for me.

[@treydezellem27]

As a Coug fan, I was so upset when Penix went to UW. I think he’ll have a better career than Williams, passing talent is outstanding. Go Cougs

[@HurleyJDW0711]

Yes Drake Maye should go second most definitely

[@primetimeperformance]

These are routine passes that you’re blowing way out of proportion. And BTW, arm strength has zero correlation with Lombardi’s.

[@wyattlee5617]

JJ started his throwing motion before the defender turned, this lucky millisecond is the reason JJ is talked about going in the first round cause if it was picked OSU likely wins and Michigan never makes it to the playoff

[@T.D.61]

It was a nice view of good traits from these draft QB’s. However, the elite term utilized doesn’t apply to NFL defenses or field.

[@Folds2008]

The Penix highlight is against MSU 🤣

[@buildingbread]

I would feel better about Drake Maye if he won more games. There were too many times he could carry that team in a weak ACC.

[@Levitas97]

How is that first USC play not a flag? ... Receivers cant block before the ball is thrown can they? (talking about pass plays of course)

[@O-D-X]

Actually they can if the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage, college rule that doesn't exist in the NFL. However you are right in this instance. The thrown was meant to be a screen to the back, but because Caleb doesn't throw it, it does become a penalty. This actually shows bad football IQ by Caleb. One lapse though doesn't mean his football IQ is bad.

Don't be surprised if the Jets take a QB. Rodgers is old and coming off an injury. They need someone to back him up who can be a real successor.

[@mattcarberry368]

lol not a chance, that organization is bending over backwards to let Aaron slurp himself, they sign his buddies when he tells them to, they retain a horrible clueless HC like Saleh only because Aaron knows he's a pushover who let him do whatever he wants.... there is not a chance they're gonna Green Bay him and draft his replacement it could definitely be a smart long term move, but there is zero chance that's what they do.... they'll most likely take an o-lineman to protect their 40 year old investment

[@Rick-tf4dl]

you have cherry picked Caleb's highlights concerning pocket control most of the time is below average also he fell into some really bad safety play in your highlight reel you only get a for his scouting report

[@spdm6648]

Tired of people saying Drakes not going #2

[@antwanr5058]

That first Caleb play shows exactly the opposite of a high football IQ and it shows up on film a lot. NFL teams can take advantage of him. You always take the swing there in the nfl you had two blockers vs two defenders and if his WR can make a safety miss it might be a house call. NFL zones will break on that ball he threw to the 4th read. Caleb constantly shows choppy progression movement, where he’s hitching and staying on reads far too long half the time, and then other times he passes up the easy read for an attempted home run. Not gonna work at the next level. Teams will literally run cover six(Lou Anaroumo) and force you to take the right read. Guys like Jaden and Penix take the screens, and don’t hesitate to move through progressions quickly and consistently because they’re not relying on what they can do when the play breaks down.

[@john-wallaceholt1806]

Maye had an average 55% completion rating against Notre Dame, Miami, Clemson, Oregon, Miami (again) and Clemson (again). These were the top 6 defenses he played against from 2022-2023.

[@creightonc8147]

No Drake shouldn’t go second. I love your stuff, but Daniels fits what Washington wants to do better. Then you got New England, and word is they love JJ, they think it’s Brady come again. Now the place you would want Maye to go to is the Vikings because they can work with him. Maye has size, he has a canon, but he is inconsistent, he does throw routine passes in the dirt. People talk about oh he’s Herbert, or Allen. He looks like Cutler to me, has the same elite qualities Cutler had and the same inconsistencies. A good coach can help him fix that, and that’s the Vikings. I’m a Bear fan but if you want him to succeed, you want him with the Vikings and to go 4.

[@codyb.3015]

This is his QB rankings list, that's not the same as which order they should be drafted in. He thinks Maye is a better prospect than Daniels, nothing to do with which one fits better in Washington. Also, whatever "word" you're hearing about NE loving JJ is smokescreen, there's no shot they take him over Maye. NE is more likely to trade back than take JJ at 3, lmao, ignore the noise right before the draft.
