Looking at some prospects who might be available in the 7th round ⤵️

Have watched a bunch of TV cut-ups on Drake Maye from games I hadn’t seen to start the year (S. Car, App. St. Minn, Pitt) and while he’s far from perfect — his arm talent, mobility by design, size and ability to thread needle on some tight window throws still get me all fired up pic.twitter.com/T7XEQgXujs

Also think, FWIW, that his footwork in the pocket is not as bad as I thought it was going to be earlier in the year.
Does Maye need some refining? Of course. I was expecting a mess (based on some evals I’ve heard/seen) and haven’t seen that yet.

One particular throw vs. Syracuse at 29:00 of this filehttps://t.co/UmCAhR1g4p
was interesting. Wide open, great route and concept and Maye overthrew it after a slide shuffle to his left. His feet here appeared off, more horizontal and yet he flung it too far. Good & bad.— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) April 15, 2024
In this game vs. Syracuse – I did start to notice some choppy footwork on several throws and with more frequency. Maybe I had missed the same volume earlier? Not sure.
You also see a improvisational play style for Maye, that reminds me in SOME ways of Patrick Mahomes & Chiefs.

Would you use the #2 pick on Maye, Chris?
— Reggyreg (@Reggyreg51) April 14, 2024
I would, yes. Not sure if they would

Below are the “Big Six” QBs of the 2024 class and their short/intermediate/deep adjusted COMP% for their careers prior to 2023 and then how they fared in 2023.
I continue to be confused by the media coverage confidence/concerns when it comes Drake Maye vs. Jayden Daniels. pic.twitter.com/cenjSLg8aV

The #Bears have NEVER had a 30+ TD passer in their entire existence.
The #Commanders last quarterback to hit that mark was Sonny Jurgensen all the way back in 1967…
… 57 years ago.
Will two rookie QBs be able to break these long-held curses for each downtrodden franchise? https://t.co/IMeA7QnhCZ pic.twitter.com/uSc2O2kMjd

According to @DraftKings, JJ McCarthy’s odds to go 2nd overall to the #Commanders has jumped to +500 while Drake Maye’s fell to +200.
The odds for Drake Maye to go 3rd overall to the #Patriots has increased for a second straight day to -130.

“When JJ McCarthy said he was coming out in the draft I thought ‘why he is going to be a 3rd or 4th rd pick’…wow I was really wrong…”@PhilSimmsQB was wowed by the Michigan QB after breaking down his tape: pic.twitter.com/edSsgeVLva

Big fan of Roger Rosengarten (RT #73). Aggressive in pass protection and plays with awesome balance. See the movement skills really show up in the run game, too. pic.twitter.com/oSjSiolPu9

This is funny as heck in a game the Rockets were about to win in LA, The fans were cheering when Boban missed his first free-throw, because if the opposition misses two in a row, the fans get free chicken.
So watch what Boban does. I love Boban! pic.twitter.com/O5eY7TFR6K
