Chris simms is simultaneously the most overrated and underrated draft analyst we have. A bunch of people take his word as gospel, and the same amount dismiss everything he says because he’s been wrong before (lmfao). In reality he’s one of the sharpest draft guys in the business. That doesn’t mean he’s batting 1000, but he is one of the best by far. I appreciate him not listening to draft group think and going solely off tape. Nobody ever points out Daniel Jeremiah’s draft misses but he’s probably the most respected draft guy overall.
No one ever knows-no matter how much conviction they have. People appreciate nuanced reasoning for their predictions, and Chris and DJ both offer that.
I would love to get a pod maybe on a slow week. Of Chris just ranking top 5-10 qb prospects of the past 5 seasons with ignoring how their professional careers have panned out. Would be awesome to see.
That and going through the tape to show what he looks at. Or debating someone like Nate Tice who was also QB and looks at the tape but has Maye as his QB1.
Past 5 seasons I think Trevor Lawerence, Kyler Murray , Joe Burrow n Justin Herbert would be a top that list n it’s to early to tell on last years class they need to play more. All of those top guys atleast TL, Murray n Burrow would rank higher than my QB in this class. Murray’s 6.80 grade was higher than Caleb Williams 6.70 grade n was a better prospect people don’t realize Murray is a generational caliber QB Talent, he’s just 5”10 if he was 6”2 he’d of been talked about as the next John Elway better than Luck coming out. I mean dudes not only a Heisman winner n 3X state champion regarded as the best HS Ever in Texas state history but think of all the elite athletes Americas produced…. And Kyler Murray is THE ONLY 1 EVER drafted 1st rd in the TOP 10 in TWO different drafts. He’s special n is an elite caliber passer that just happens to be an elite athlete with 4.30 speed. Come next season with AZ having an Elite top 3-5 rush offense n what will be an elite stacked WR/TE room and AZ building an elite top 10 caliber OL in front of him protecting him giving him clean pockets n unpressured 9-10 dropbacks I will bet money Kyler Murray will be back playing at an Elite MVP Caliber level again next season back atop MVP Race in a career season with a talented loaded offense again for the first time since 2021, I think he’ll have a tremendous season.
I tend to pay attention to Sports Programs that have former players like Chris Simms as their main broadcaster rather than someone that never played in the NFL. Chris admits when he's wrong and has a very interesting show.
Penix was a dual threat most of his life. After injuries he stayed in the pocket. He has runner instincts and awareness and has improved his pocket movement.
Y'all need to hire like Bill Hader or Will Ferrel to play a random person walking around the office in the background and accidentally causing chaos while never actually interacting with you guys.
Chris Simms is every bit as good at QB analysis as Caleb Williams is at playing QB. He's the undisputed superstar QB analyst and shares his knowledge in a way that very understandable to ordinary Joes like me. Thanks Chris.
Isn't the point here that Drake Maye is a project with a high ceiling? It doesn't feel like anyone outside of Caleb and Drake have the upside of a top ten QB in the league, so that's why they are 1 and 2, even if Drake Maye is a work in progress.
we may not agree alot on these rankings some years but on this one I'm so glad you see what I saw. Caleb and Daniels are levels above Maye. To see scouts and tv pundits claiming he's QB 1B only behind Williams all year has been frustrating to say the least.

So it hit me during Chris’ interview with Caleb when he started talking about Aaron Rodgers’ being his favorite quarterback. That’s who you’re getting. You’re getting an Aaron Rodgers-like quarterbacking talent, along with a very Aaron-like personality. Caleb Williams? That’s Darkness Retreat Jr. right there.
No Caleb is already operating like a pro qb on his second contract that’s why his personality is different from the others. I watched Rodgers for a long time and their personalities aren’t the same.
9ers didnt draft Rodgers because they thought he was arrogant. Thats was stupid, If the player has never been in trouble draft him. Teams should be drafting guys based on the ability to play football not because their personality may hurt others feelings.
@@KamuiCage absolutely agree it would be very stupid not to draft him. He’s a special player. But…I stand by my point that I think there’s a high potential Chicago will be getting both sides of Aaron Rodgers. It’s gonna be a fun ride regardless for a franchise that desperately needs some fun again.
So happy to see this Bo nix tape. Been high since last years draft before he decided to go back! Chris always has solid rankings, not always 100% hit but higher % than other talking heads out there! Can’t wait for other positions.

I wondered when Bo Nix would rise up... Chris is the second guy today who ranked him this high, and the other guy GUARANTEED that GMs would fall in love with his "tape" (even though video tape hasn't been used this century -- football people are always one technology behind -- it used to always be "I have to watch the film" but now its always tape, I'm waiting for someone to say digital)
I agree with Chris, too on Bo Nix. I don't see why people are down on him. He's basically the perfect modern game manager. He's efficient, fast, and has a strong arm, and he gets to his first read quickly, and he hits it every time. What's the problem😂😂😂
i think he will nail the sean payton one. perfect guy for him. pretty sure a lot of teams before him would have already filled their qb position. i still think justin fields will be a falcon before the draft. kirk cousins back with the vikings. the raiders will take one.
As a Michael Penix homer, I'm so happy Chris brought up the throw vs Oregon State. It was a 40 yards on a rope in the absolute pouring rain. It's a jaw dropper.
@@davidclark3474Literally. All of them are bad anyways and everyone knew it as well. The class was bad so he was essentially analyzing a bunch of 2nd to 4th rounder which he definitely struggles with (see Mond). Apart from that and Wilson his analysis is usually spot on
@@TomatoPace Corral the NFL is done with you and thinks you don't have it good luck getting another shot. Corral has zero chance of being an NFL QB. He whiffed on his chance. He was a total project anyway. 2 years of hard work and he still might have failed. He had way to maybe problems as a QB.
I really like Bo nix as well. Seems to make the right decisions and is super accurate. I think Maye is a classic boom or bust, I wouldn’t take him with the third pick for that reason but I could totally see him excelling in the right system.
The funny thing is that Chris said he’s one of the best he’s ever seen reading defenses & making the right decisions. But all the caleb haters say he’s terrible at those things & plays backyard football 24/7
@@Mattyice2611It is more than that they have in common. Both got overhyped during the season. Both had their flaws exposed leading up to the draft, and I suspect that like Trubisky, that Maye will be overdrafted versus where he should go. Now if Maye goes late first to a team that can sit him for a year and let him develop then their stories could diverge wildly, but I don't expect that to happen.
@@worldbeater44April 25th my man! Less than a month and we get a generational qb! Great time to be a Bears fan! Suffered through many decades of having below average to average qbs.
I 100% agree with the order of this list, and If my Giants grab any of these 3 QB's, I would be very excited. Bo Nix - Michael Penix JR - JJ McCarthy. I see no loss here, any of them and I'm SUPER HYPED!!!!
Caleb is the best college QB I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if it translates to the NFL cause he can try to do too much hero ball but his peaks were absolutely unmatched.
it's hilarious seeing how many people say things like "too much hero ball, don't know if it translates to the NFL" lol it's like people expected him to stand like a statue in the pocket behind an absolutely porous useless o-line and carve people up like Brady in his prime........ if you actually watch he consistently displays elite pocket awareness, elite ability to slide from side to side while still keeping his eyes downfield and delivering on point throws while on the move with a lightning quick release...... yet people don't know if that "translates" to the NFL??? wow
Williams is overrated. Kyler Murray is a special elite caliber QB don’t get me wrong but if you look at their profiles over at NFL Website Murray is graded higher coming out at 6.80 n coming out was a generational caliber QB he was just shorter at 5”10.5, if he was 6”2/220 everybody would said he’s the next John Elway. Steve Young is only an inch taller than KM at 5”11.5. You look at Caleb Williams top ranked passer in this class he posted a 6.70 grade, not quite as good as KM and Williams Heisman season of 2022 wasn’t as good as Murray’s Heisman season of 2018.
@@K1forMVPKyler is another generational prospect, just because Williams isn’t as good doesn’t mean he won’t be great in the league. The bears are a significantly better situation than the Cardinals were Kyler’s rookie year.
I appreciate Chris' expertise on QBs. His assessment of Drake is persuasive. I am really curious as to where Drake will be drafted. It seems a reach for him to be chosen the 3rd QB ahead of JJ, Bo, and Michael.
My thoughts are why is Simms so convinced that Jayden will be a better playmaker or throwing the ball over the middle when even he admits its not something you've seen him do with consistency on tape.
I wish we could watch college football in Sweden. At least NFL Game Pass give me all I need for NFL. Oh and thanks Chris Simms very interesting as always listening to you.
Chris a lot of people like to talk shit on you and your takes. I don’t see the point considering this is mostly guesswork🤷🏽♂️ Been a big fan since the Adam Lefkoe days!
Michael Penix is a much better athlete than given credit for. He ran a 4.71 and had a 35.5” vertical at an official SPARQ combine in High School. After a college program he’s running at least 4.6 and 38” in vertical. He’s my #2 behind Caleb Williams.
Not necessarily, injuries can have a big impact and Penix has had a lot of them. For example Blake Corum ran faster in high school than at the combine. Probably because of his big injury
What pundents missed on Richardson is he's a QB who can run at an elite level. His pocket awareness and arm talent is top tier. So is his running. Too many people thought he was an athlete who was playing QB. His mechanics have been rebuilt, and by all accounts, he still has a top tier arm. He just needs to learn to go out of bounds and be aware of defenders from behind.
As a Georgia Tech fan, I’ve been unsure why Drake Maye was hyped so high. UNC lost twice to GT with Maye at QB and I was not impressed. I’ve seen QBs like Russell Wilson, Phillip Rivers or Matt Ryan shred our team and it was obvious they were NFL talent. Maye never struck me that way.
Love seeing my USC dudes doing well. Super excited about Caleb! Fight on!! Having said that, people talk shit about Brock Purdy size...how he's small... Brock Purdy: Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) Weight: 220 lb (100 kg) Caleb Williams: Height 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) Weight 215 lb (98 kg) I get that Caleb is more talented, better arm, athleticism, etc, but the size argument is dumb...
21:50 uhh MARSHAWN LlOYD definitely, Brenden Rice is arguable and if he isn’t drafted in rd 3 he’s going in the 4th, Tahj Washington will be a solid wr in the nfl. Why are ppl acting like that usc team was trash they have multiple nfl players on offense and some on defense. Look at Addison balling out in the nfl
Those are not special players. Simms was talking about premier talent. Like Daniels had. Like Penix had. Lloyd is a 4th rounder at best, giving positional value, he'll go even lower than that. Brendan Rice, i'll be shocked if he goes in the 3rd round. If he does, its because of name branding only. There are about 12 recievers in this draft alone that are better than him.
@@knightdance8377you have no clue what you’re talking about. Brendan Rice will be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round and it has nothing to do with his name and everything to do with the fact that he’s big, fast, physical and productive.
I think Caleb as #1 as one of the best qb prospects of the last decades and Daniels as #2 with his huge athletic upside will age very well. Don’t think there a chance they’ll fail. Maye at 6 is definitely a bit much but I can see him struggling. Still wouldn’t have him below McCarthy and Nix. If Penix stays fit I have no doubt in my mind he’ll work out. His arm and his ball placement is just too good. Nix is very much pro ready so I get where Chris is coming from. Just don’t think he has that much of an upside. With McCarthy I just don’t see it honestly
Hate? From who? 😂..The media has been toting this dudes jock all year acting like he's gonna be Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady's love child. It's ridiculous.
I don't need to click that to know what play you're talking about. Watching the all-22, it's insane that he even found something to work with, let alone throw a touchdown.
Drake Maye #6 is completely unhinged. The biggest shift to the NFL is the time to make decisions and the size of the windows. I agree, he looks to be slow on the progressions. But NO ONE in this class had to and did fit the ball into tighter windows more consistently. Give me the arm talent, teach him the mental game.
This was Chris Simms 2021 NFL draft QB rankings. He's NOT a good judge of talent. #1 Zach Wilson #2 Trevor Lawrence #3 Mac Jones #4 Kellen Mond #5 Justin Fields
I hate to do this to anyone who hasn’t noticed and I like Chris but my guy says the word “ right “ at least 500 times in this podcast ! He says “ right “ almost after everything he says. My brother used to do it and once you hear it you can’t stop hearing it.
Well, that was a turn up for the books! As a Washington fan, I keep feeling like we should trade back and a bit and snag JJ McCarthy. I just feel really nervous about Daniels getting smashed by The NFL and I just cant buy into Bo Nix. Is there any consideration if age taken into account? These older guys should be able to process better...how good was Daniels at Drake Maye's age for example? Anyhow...I just have a man crush on the idea JJ McCarthy works out being the best long term QB

Chris simms is simultaneously the most overrated and underrated draft analyst we have. A bunch of people take his word as gospel, and the same amount dismiss everything he says because he’s been wrong before (lmfao).
In reality he’s one of the sharpest draft guys in the business. That doesn’t mean he’s batting 1000, but he is one of the best by far. I appreciate him not listening to draft group think and going solely off tape.
Nobody ever points out Daniel Jeremiah’s draft misses but he’s probably the most respected draft guy overall.
Totally agree especially about DJ.
No one ever knows-no matter how much conviction they have.
People appreciate nuanced reasoning for their predictions, and Chris and DJ both offer that.
He hasn't just been wrong. He's been hilariously wrong.
I wouldnt say he's one of the sharpest anymore. I still respect his opinion being that he doesn't follow the trends

The episode I look the forward to the most every season. Simms and QB analysis goes together like lamb and tuna fish
Drake Maye = Mitch Trubisky
or maybe even Carson Wentz 😮
@@garyb7193 Carson was damned good until he got injured!~
@@Mattyice2611It is more than that they have in common. Both got overhyped during the season. Both had their flaws exposed leading up to the draft, and I suspect that like Trubisky, that Maye will be overdrafted versus where he should go. Now if Maye goes late first to a team that can sit him for a year and let him develop then their stories could diverge wildly, but I don't expect that to happen.
This and the nfl rankings are my favorite pods great job fellas
Jordan Travis is my guy this year.
He said Sean Payton would draft Bo nix and he did
I think Jayden Daniels is the best QB in this draft. Hoping the Redskins draft him
There is no such team by that name
If the Bears pass on Caleb, I don't think I can watch them anymore.
Especially after they Traded Fields......get the Kid Let's Go
@@worldbeater44April 25th my man! Less than a month and we get a generational qb! Great time to be a Bears fan! Suffered through many decades of having below average to average qbs.
I 100% agree with the order of this list, and If my Giants grab any of these 3 QB's, I would be very excited. Bo Nix - Michael Penix JR - JJ McCarthy. I see no loss here, any of them and I'm SUPER HYPED!!!!
I’d prefer Williams Maye or JJ
If it weren't for Bo Nix this ranking *would* be color gradient coordinated once again. Love your stuff as always!
Chris/Orlovsky/Rg3 and Ryan Leaf should do a joint breakdown
Looking forward to seeing where Bo ends up!! Wish him the best!!!
I’m just saying Chris sims hit it right on the head with Bo Nix!
yes
Chris Simms deserves to be a GM with the amount of knowledge he brings to the table

“…..here’s the context of that in my evaluation too, alright?…” Ahmed’s face: huh?
I love how people just walk by lol
Caleb is the best college QB I’ve ever seen. I don’t know if it translates to the NFL cause he can try to do too much hero ball but his peaks were absolutely unmatched.
it's hilarious seeing how many people say things like "too much hero ball, don't know if it translates to the NFL" lol it's like people expected him to stand like a statue in the pocket behind an absolutely porous useless o-line and carve people up like Brady in his prime........ if you actually watch he consistently displays elite pocket awareness, elite ability to slide from side to side while still keeping his eyes downfield and delivering on point throws while on the move with a lightning quick release...... yet people don't know if that "translates" to the NFL??? wow
Williams is overrated. Kyler Murray is a special elite caliber QB don’t get me wrong but if you look at their profiles over at NFL Website Murray is graded higher coming out at 6.80 n coming out was a generational caliber QB he was just shorter at 5”10.5, if he was 6”2/220 everybody would said he’s the next John Elway. Steve Young is only an inch taller than KM at 5”11.5. You look at Caleb Williams top ranked passer in this class he posted a 6.70 grade, not quite as good as KM and Williams Heisman season of 2022 wasn’t as good as Murray’s Heisman season of 2018.
@@K1forMVPKyler is another generational prospect, just because Williams isn’t as good doesn’t mean he won’t be great in the league. The bears are a significantly better situation than the Cardinals were Kyler’s rookie year.
I appreciate Chris' expertise on QBs. His assessment of Drake is persuasive. I am really curious as to where Drake will be drafted. It seems a reach for him to be chosen the 3rd QB ahead of JJ, Bo, and Michael.
My thoughts are why is Simms so convinced that Jayden will be a better playmaker or throwing the ball over the middle when even he admits its not something you've seen him do with consistency on tape.
It’s called love.
I wish we could watch college football in Sweden. At least NFL Game Pass give me all I need for NFL. Oh and thanks Chris Simms very interesting as always listening to you.
Chris a lot of people like to talk shit on you and your takes. I don’t see the point considering this is mostly guesswork🤷🏽♂️ Been a big fan since the Adam Lefkoe days!
Michael Penix is a much better athlete than given credit for.
He ran a 4.71 and had a 35.5” vertical at an official SPARQ combine in High School. After a college program he’s running at least 4.6 and 38” in vertical.
He’s my #2 behind Caleb Williams.
Not necessarily, injuries can have a big impact and Penix has had a lot of them.
For example Blake Corum ran faster in high school than at the combine. Probably because of his big injury
He had a lot more Juice at Indiana but before the surgeries. He isn’t the same athlete
What pundents missed on Richardson is he's a QB who can run at an elite level. His pocket awareness and arm talent is top tier. So is his running.
Too many people thought he was an athlete who was playing QB.
His mechanics have been rebuilt, and by all accounts, he still has a top tier arm. He just needs to learn to go out of bounds and be aware of defenders from behind.
As a Georgia Tech fan, I’ve been unsure why Drake Maye was hyped so high. UNC lost twice to GT with Maye at QB and I was not impressed. I’ve seen QBs like Russell Wilson, Phillip Rivers or Matt Ryan shred our team and it was obvious they were NFL talent. Maye never struck me that way.
DRake Maye went to my High school and I'm not a huge fan~
His personality isn't one that translates to me~
Qb is a Leadership role position~
Love seeing my USC dudes doing well. Super excited about Caleb! Fight on!!
Having said that, people talk shit about Brock Purdy size...how he's small...
Brock Purdy:
Height: 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m)
Weight: 220 lb (100 kg)
Caleb Williams:
Height 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m)
Weight 215 lb (98 kg)
I get that Caleb is more talented, better arm, athleticism, etc, but the size argument is dumb...
❤❤❤Awesome Job
Chris Simms unbuttoned Thanx Bra.
21:50 uhh MARSHAWN LlOYD definitely, Brenden Rice is arguable and if he isn’t drafted in rd 3 he’s going in the 4th, Tahj Washington will be a solid wr in the nfl. Why are ppl acting like that usc team was trash they have multiple nfl players on offense and some on defense. Look at Addison balling out in the nfl
Those are not special players. Simms was talking about premier talent. Like Daniels had. Like Penix had. Lloyd is a 4th rounder at best, giving positional value, he'll go even lower than that. Brendan Rice, i'll be shocked if he goes in the 3rd round. If he does, its because of name branding only. There are about 12 recievers in this draft alone that are better than him.
@@knightdance8377We see teams reach for rb all the time, Jags took Tank bigsby in the 3rd, it’s very unlikely Lloyd goes past that
Brendan Rice is absolutely a day 2 guy and has a chance at round 2. Lloyd has a shot at round 3.
@@knightdance8377you have no clue what you’re talking about. Brendan Rice will be drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round and it has nothing to do with his name and everything to do with the fact that he’s big, fast, physical and productive.
I think Caleb as #1 as one of the best qb prospects of the last decades and Daniels as #2 with his huge athletic upside will age very well. Don’t think there a chance they’ll fail.
Maye at 6 is definitely a bit much but I can see him struggling. Still wouldn’t have him below McCarthy and Nix.
If Penix stays fit I have no doubt in my mind he’ll work out. His arm and his ball placement is just too good.
Nix is very much pro ready so I get where Chris is coming from. Just don’t think he has that much of an upside. With McCarthy I just don’t see it honestly
I agree with Chris Sims...Bo Nix is a great fit for Sean Peyton. Sean is going to draft him.
Nailed it
The hate on Caleb Williams is the
Most I’ve ever seen from a QB prospect
Just wait til he fails~
I wish I was in your fantasy league 🤣
@@superRudy119 Exactly RIGHT,. Another Fantasy guy who thinks he knows about Football,..YOU DON'T~

Is that a QB School "Let’s GO."?
@@sidpackard8613 uuhhh it could be!!?? 😂
the difference between the youtube comments and what I saw on twitter is hilarious
That play at 24:48 is absurd. Seriously go through it frame by frame and there isn't a single second that anyone looked open until he threw the TD.
I don't need to click that to know what play you're talking about. Watching the all-22, it's insane that he even found something to work with, let alone throw a touchdown.
Thanks for pointing that out 👍. It looked like a great play at normal speed, but it needs to be slowed down to really appreciate it.
the disrespect of AR, AR is still a better runner coming out of college than jayden. and a better thrower. and has a better frame.
underrated comment, deserves love.
Simms is impressive, very thorough with his analysis. Plus he Has balls to be his own man.
Great Coverage again. After watching 1:30 hours from Drake Maye, I have the same opinion. The Gametape is bad. A lot of bad throws. Really misses.
I agree with Chris switch MPJ with Bo because MPJ beat him twice but other than that. I agree!!! 👌🏾
Draft season Chris Simms >>>
Drake Maye #6 is completely unhinged. The biggest shift to the NFL is the time to make decisions and the size of the windows. I agree, he looks to be slow on the progressions. But NO ONE in this class had to and did fit the ball into tighter windows more consistently. Give me the arm talent, teach him the mental game.
This guy really loves the way Caleb plays in college. If the Bears have a bad season, then I guess it won't because of Calev.
Chris best since Madden 😊.
COULDNT BE MORE STOKEDD
Someone HAS to teach Chris a transition phrase besides “let alone”.
Drives me nuts too lol
Big fan of Penix. He’s going to be great in the pros! 🎉
This was Chris Simms 2021 NFL draft QB rankings. He's NOT a good judge of talent.
#1 Zach Wilson
#2 Trevor Lawrence
#3 Mac Jones
#4 Kellen Mond
#5 Justin Fields
Drake Maye sounds a lot like Zach Wilson
oh god not even close lol
I hate to do this to anyone who hasn’t noticed and I like Chris but my guy says the word “ right “ at least 500 times in this podcast ! He says “ right “ almost after everything he says. My brother used to do it and once you hear it you can’t stop hearing it.
Well, that was a turn up for the books! As a Washington fan, I keep feeling like we should trade back and a bit and snag JJ McCarthy. I just feel really nervous about Daniels getting smashed by The NFL and I just cant buy into Bo Nix. Is there any consideration if age taken into account? These older guys should be able to process better...how good was Daniels at Drake Maye's age for example? Anyhow...I just have a man crush on the idea JJ McCarthy works out being the best long term QB
CW stats at USC not as good as JF at OSU, and CW didn't beat any top 25 team while losing to Tulane. JF was destroying top 25 teams.
Caleb had better stats but more importantly if CW had the players Justin had at OSU it'd be criminal. Caleb had Jordan Addison
@@richj011 Can't even tell if this guy is serious. Justin fields had one of the greatest receiving corps ever 😂 it was INSANE how talented that OSU roster was
Bo Nix is my QB. Love his football IQ. He's going to be great in the NFL.
what's jreat about his football iq?
