Sam Howell is a better quarterback prospect than Brock Purdy

Redraft Sam Howell right now... Sam Howell would be two [among the 2022 class behind Pickett]... It's a Brock Purdy Sam Howell conversation. I don't want to take away from a kid [Purdy] who helped [the 49ers] win a ton of games last year, but that is as brilliant of a coaching system as there is right now.

Purdy led the 49ers to a Super Bowl and was an MVP finalist, while Howell was eventually benched by the Commanders and traded.

Colorado will beat Nebraska by 30 points next week

I'm on your side. You're going to win by 30 against Nebraska.

Colorado beat Nebraska 36-14 on Sept 9, 2023. This was a 22-point win, which is dominant but short of the 30-point prediction.

Colorado is officially 'more back' than Nebraska

A team that had no hope and was like in utter despair has beaten Nebraska to the back meter and, and maybe Nebraska can win on Saturday and that they get more back. But right now Colorado is more back than Nebraska.

This is subjective, but Colorado's subsequent 4-8 season vs Nebraska's 5-7 season suggests neither was fully 'back', though Colorado certainly owned the national spotlight early.

If Texas beats Alabama, they will be officially 'more back' than Colorado

Now if Texas wins on Saturday, [Texas] is more back than Colorado I think. Texas and Tuscaloosa for sure. Yeah, absolutely. We're on back watch right now.

Texas defeated Alabama on the road and had a dominant season resulting in a CFP berth, while Colorado's season plateaued after a hot start.

There is a massive talent drop-off in this draft after the 'Big Three' wide receivers

One of the cool things about this draft class is you got three receivers at the very top in [Marvin Harrison Jr.], Malik Nabors, and also Rome Odunze... in a different draft, all three of those guys could easily be the number one wide receiver taken. There's a very, very small difference at the very top between [them]. All three of those guys are part of the blue chip group... [then there's] a drop.

Harrison, Nabers, and Odunze all went in the top 9, while the next WR wasn't drafted until pick 23, validating the talent gap.

The absolute floor for JJ McCarthy in the draft is pick #11 for the Minnesota Vikings

I don't think [JJ McCarthy] will fall... I would think the floor for JJ McCarthy, the absolute floor would be 11th for the Vikings. But that would be a really, like, that would be a ballsy game of chicken the Vikings would be playing if they don't move up. I think JJ's floor is 11. I think the more realistic floor is probably somewhere within the first six picks.

McCarthy was drafted 10th by the Vikings after they traded up one spot.

Jaden Daniels will be the number two overall pick in the NFL Draft

I feel good about Jaden Daniels going number two. You know, this past week was interesting obviously—mostly incited by Jaden Daniels' agent taking to Twitter... but I do think Jaden Daniels ends up going number two overall.

Jaden Daniels was selected 2nd overall by the Commanders.
