Broncos & Bears QB Draft class options, talks Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, J.J. McCarthy | NFL | THE HERD

Agree with Merrill on Caleb. He is talented but not special. He damn sure isn’t Patrick Mahomes. The one thing I have always told people about why he isn’t Mahomes, Mahomes plays hero ball when he has to, where as Caleb plays because he wants to. Major difference.

Bo Nix is 6'2 not 6'1

Up until a year ago, tv pundits were still predicting Trey Lance and Justin Fields were MVP candidates. The NFL didn’t even think they were worth a late round pick.

Merril Hodge, Drew Brees was 6.0., That is one inch shorter than Bo Nix.

Bo is almost 6'3". CW is not even 6'1".

Bo is almost 6'3". CW is not even 6'1".

Caleb Williams threw a higher % of his passes behind/@ the LOS than Nix, yet that's not a negative. CW played against the same Pac12 defenses as Nix, yet it's only a negative for Nix. Win or Lose, Nix still played great against top ranked defenses, they say Nix is surrounded by talent. CW gets crushed and plays bad vs top ranked D, it called a lack of talent... AT USC? PFF has Nix as a better QB than CW. What am I missing? There seems to be an ulterior motive when it comes to not liking Nix.

Denver got his guy nix will be the best QB in this class Three yrs from now

Hodge was right about Manzell & Clowney

Has Hoge ever been right? He thought Luck and Herbert would be busts.

KENNY PICKETT..... WTF IS HE SAYING 😂😂😂😂

Merill is delusional if he thinks CJ Stroud & Joe Burrow were better when they came outthan Caleb is 😂😂😂 Caleb is clearly the best proapect since Andrew Luck 💯💯💯

All I know is this is the best year Denver could have hoped for to replace their overpaid QB. I don’t see any thing wrong with many of them in the Draft. Broncos got LUCKY!

Cmon Colin: You're the same guy who conceded two national championships to U.S.C. when Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams showed up, and NOW, you say Caleb is ultra special because he was on a bad team and still did well. PICK ONE, and then stick with it.

When they say hes similar to Patrick Mahomes, what they really mean is he's similar to Matthew Stafford.

Aged poorly

Broncos take Nix at 12. He’s good.

Okay say a qb is short, but excellent otherwise , would you rather have a tall, clumsy, fragile, stupid, QB with a noodle arm? 🤨

lol. They got Russell Wilson and traded Pickett.

Steelers just traded Kenny Pickett

I am a Merrill fan. He’s the only one with the guts to question Boston Universities monopoly on CTE research

I thot Nix played better than Penix Jr in both games last year...extended plays, accurate, confident and experienced...i could be wrong..i thot Big Ben was gonna be a great NFL qb, and also thot Peyton Manning would get destroyed in the NFL...so who knows...but i think Bo will show at least a bit of excellence!

Bo Nix Bears 💯👍

Bo Nix is my favorite QB in this year’s draft. Lots of college reps and courage.

I think Daniels is the best pure passer in this draft. Best long ball, best runner too. He's fast and elusive, playmaker. Put on about ten or fifteen pounds and he'll be special. Maybe give him a redshirt year

Pick PENIX and NIX before I pick mccarthy and MAYE any day!

Drake Maye Daniels, Mccarthy top 10 , Penix late 1st because of injury are the only QB's I would take in this draft. I would trade the pick if they were not available. Nix can't go 1st rd. He played catch from a protected pocket .

This guy is a lazy evaluator!
This guy should be on ESPN on how lazy these takes are lol.

Good lord dude call it the NFL “ the national football league” “ the national football league”

Colin is a squid

Everyone mentions mahomes cuz they know that’s what the nfl wants to hear 😂

It's always exciting to see discussions around potential draft picks, especially when it involves quarterback talents like Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and J.J. McCarthy. These players have shown incredible skill and promise in their college careers, and it's thrilling to speculate how they could shape the future for teams like the Broncos and Bears. Each player brings a unique set of strengths to the table, and it's fascinating to imagine how they might fit into the NFL's dynamic environment. The draft process is a pivotal time for teams to build their strategy and foundation for the coming years, and adding a talented quarterback can be a game-changer. Here's to hoping whichever teams land these promising athletes see great success in their future endeavors!

If I were Poles, I would trade back a few places in the draft and grab one of the top receivers. Then draft JJ McCarthy with the ninth pick and let him develop for a year behind Fields. If Fields does not pan out, trade him next year and you have McCarthy ready to go. Not sold on the top three QBs being better than JJ, Penix, or Nix.

Navigating through the potential quarterback draft options for teams like the Broncos and Bears can be such an exciting time for fans! Bo Nix, Caleb Williams, and J.J. McCarthy each bring their own unique skills and potential to the table, making this draft class conversation especially intriguing. It's great to see such talented athletes getting the recognition they deserve and sparking discussions among fans and analysts alike. The journey from college to the NFL is no small feat, and these players have shown incredible dedication and talent to even be considered in these conversations. Whatever the outcome, it’s clear the future of the NFL is bright with such promising talents on the horizon. Let's keep an eye on these players as they transition to the next level of their careers!

The Steelers need to pick up Kirk cousins! Hands-down he's is the number one free agent QB in the NFL!

Merril "Alligator eyes" Hoge

He’s a runningback … who is all of a sudden is qb professional

After watching the draft combine, Penix is the only one ready for the draft.

Good Lord does Merril Hodge look old. That was shocking to see a guy I've known on TV, recently, suddenly age so fast.

I think Giants will be drafting JJ McCarthy, and I saw the GM from the Minnesota Vikings, following Bo Nix around at the NFL Combine on interview the players day, which I believe the Vikings will be drafting Bo Nix, because they are not going to renew contract with Kurt Cousins. Which leaves Denver Broncos stuck without an option at QB in the draft, and they will have already gotten rid of Russell Wilson, and no cap space to sign Kurt Cousins, so Denver will have to use their second pick in the draft to draft the QB from Tulane, early and lose value at that pick. Things are not looking good for Denver. Don’t dismiss what I’m saying, I’m on point with this assessment.

If you can't improve players such as he said with Maye than why do coaches exist? Evidence to the contrary: Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Jordan Love...

Not an Oregon homer(UW actually), but Nix is being incredibly underrated. Someone is going to get a very good qb.

A hater... Has more bad takes than goods, was wrong with a lot of QBs and now he is talking about Kenny Pickett.... Jesus

Why didn't you ask which QB he likes in this draft class?

Merrill’s takes on QBs might be some of the worst I’ve heard in years.

I like the idea of JJ McCarthy with Sean Payton. Think Bo Nix is intriguing as well

I like Merrill & would love to hear his take on Tyson Bagent

When Mahomes hurt himself 2 seasons ago I think it actually helped his progression..

I’m glad Merril doesn’t use that vague, outdated term “pro style offense.” It’s a misnomer. Just evaluating if they can play from the pocket consistently or not.
