If you plan on taking a QB, you're better off taking them somewhere in the 1st round. As the 5th year option is a huge advantage if you hit on that player.
Penix is better than both Nix & McCarthy. But his medical could be an issue for some teams. I personally would try to trade up for Daniels if he's within range.

We will know a lot more after the Combine. It’s likely that all these guys (Penix, Nix, and McCarthy) go in the 1st round because of that 5th year option. Penix, Nix and McCarthy likely go to good teams too. One of those guys could be the next Jordan Love.

Having watched these guys, I doubt McCarthy is a 1st rounder. He's just not a 1st round talent. He honestly should stay in school.
Talent wise? Penix has the best arm of the three. It's not really close. But he's also had two ACL injuries to the same knee. So that will be a RedFlag for some or maybe most teams. He's also somewhat limited from a mobility perspective. He's going to be purely a pocket passer at the next level.

Don’t be shocked if McCarthy sneaks into the bottom of the 1st round. Especially if Harbaugh decides to leave Michigan. If he ends up with the Raiders or Steelers I could see him picking his college QB in the mid 1st to develop.

Just looking at the board, I would expect the Patriots and the Commanders to take QB's. The Bears might be willing to trade down, but not with the Vikings. So I'm kind of expecting the top 3 to be QBs. Maybe Arizona would trade down, I don't know.

I think AZ would take Marvin Harrison Jr if he's there. If not I'd love the Chargers to take him. The Chargers could use players at so many positions though...WR, TE, OL, anywhere on D.

the only qb ever to make a super bowl with an 'x' in their name was rex grossman, seems inauspicious
