Senior Bowl thread

Pavia should switch to RB at that size.

 

What's the 411 on QB Garrett Nussmeier.
Should I assume Garrett probably already knows McCarthy's playbook front to back, because of his Dad?

His Dad coached with Mike McCarthy.

During McCarthy’s tenure in Dallas from 2020-22, Doug Nussmeier served as the Cowboys’ quarterbacks coach. Nussmeier, of course, is the father of LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.


Is this someone to put on your radar for Day 2?

 

Wouldn't be shocking

 

Potentially... He has some upside but some serious limitations too. He's a hard prospect to figure out. Ball pops out of the delivery, he throws from multiple arm angles, good throwing on the move, willing to take a hit and throw it, and is generally praised for his leadership. However, he has a smaller frame, took a beating in college, is inconsistent with his reads/progressions, and is too easily fooled by disguised coverages.

He has some good tools, but is a bit of a project. He feels like a similar style of player to Ty Simpson, but isn't as developed pre or post snap in his reads/decision making. He will fit in with an offense that has a lot of RPO's and quick throws, though could develop into a bit more. He feels like a Shanahan type QB tbh.

 

Pavia is still my #1 QB in the draft.
Roster does not look too good overall. I like the Penn State guys. Appreciate the measurements.

 

Pavia? Why? I'm genuinely curious...

 

Because he is similar to Caleb and Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix. He is efficient and carries the offense, throwing and running, not through a system but by his physical ability.
There are two more quarterbacks I like, Chambliss and Fagnano. Fagnano is older than Pavia and Chambliss is not as potent offensively and comes from a weird offense, there is some system production there. That's why I have those two graded lower, day 2/3 for now. I may have Fagnano ahead of Pavia come draft day, but right now Pavia is the only day 1 QB for me.
I am not concerned about his height. Russ was just fine, and Murray's height is not at the core of his issues.

 

With those offical numbers ( college heights and weights are often BS ) he better have a good week.

I have heard some guys are told to drink a 1/2 gallon of water before getting on line to weigh in. This will add about add about 5 pounds to their weight by agents.

 

pavia could go the way of and be a better brock purdy. he just wins.

 

I don't see it with him being 5'9.

 

Nix, Daniels, and Williams all are at least 6'1 and were first round worthy, Pavia not so much.

 

I'd sign Fagnano to start in the NFL. I think arm is a combination of velocity and accuracy. I've seen him fit the ball between defenders 30 yards down the field, more than once, throwing very accurate passes, adjusting his throws from low to high. He processes well, rotating his body from right to left. He throws well rolling right. Can throw angle throws. All from the pocket, and often with pocket collapsing. He scoots. All around excellent quarterback, a starter in the NFL imo.
I don't think that UCONN team is loaded with talent. They had Skyler Bell, but I don't think he is that big of a difference maker.
Rare quarterback. There are very few quarterbacks with those skills in this class.
In this class Klubnik in 2024 is comparable. Chambliss and Pavia are shorter so their target throws windows high, not as large as Fagnano.
Ward last year, and Howard, but Howard like Mendoza this year was a low volume passer and Fagnano plays at higher volume.
Before that you can compare him to Nix, Daniels, Caleb. I think he is a rare talent.
Then again. I see Mason Rudolph as a rare talent too.

 

i mean drafted late and sitting on the bench until needed. he may make a very good depth guy to have sitting there. his height didn't bother him in college. he's got some IT about him.
