Shared some thoughts about how the Bucks ended the season.  Find it here. 

Well done - thanks! Miami gave Sayin adversity + relentless pressure; and that's what a high drafted rookie QB will experience. Sayin didn't pass that battle test; but I liked his game better than Dante Moore's. If Texas Tech had an offense that day vs Oregon - people would have noticed more parts to Moore's game need work. That doesn't mean he can't resolve some very doable things; but I'm holding off on joining his early bandwagon. 3 of the 4 or 5 times I saw him play last year his playaction fakes were sloppy and I think he put the ball on the ground a few times because of it. It was a hot mess. Some of that was a lack of poise; some of it was pressure; and some of it looked like a lack of work/practice/repetition.

Truth be told, I'm not sure the 2027 draft class has an obvious gotta-have Franchise QB early in round 1. Last year at this time McShay had the 6-1 Cade Klubnik ready to take advantage of his entire WR Corps returning. At first I was like "REALLY?" Then I let it resonate thinking McShay might be onto something due to chemistry & experience working with the same fellers on the peimeter should have a synergistic effect. Guess what? I was wrong. He's gonna have some talent in his WR Corps as well as a talented young TE (Sadiq) on the Jets - but I haven't looked at who will be protecting him upfront if/when he beats out Geno Smith.

Here's the QBs I've seen ranked in the top 40 prospects for the 2027 draft class by Athlon's Draft Expert Luke Easterling: 5th Arch Manning (Texas), 6th Dante Moore (Oregon), 10th Julian Sayin (OSU), 17th LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina), 18th CJ Carr (ND), 35th Trinidad Chambliss (Ole Miss), 36th Darian Mensah (Miami), 39th Jayden Maiava (USC)... It'll be interesting to see who rises to the top.
