I could any of Cleveland, Carolina, Las Vegas, Tennessee, and NYG taking one at 1.1, and I could see LAR and Miami taking one in the top ten as QBs to groom
I agree with the recency bias on QBs
I think Carolina views Young as sunk cost and wouldn't be surprised if they look to trade him away for whatever they can get. Cleveland might have to move on from Watson as the starter regardless of the contract, he's been playing historically bad
Shedeur has been playing better recently. I think the top six QBs can go in pretty much any order, so I'm not going to quibble with how they're ranked at this point in the draft
1) Cleveland- Shedeur Sanders
2) New England- Travis Hunter
3) Carolina- Abdul Carter
4) Trade- Las Vegas- Cam Ward
5) Tennessee- James Pearce Jr
6) LA Rams- Will Johnson
7) Jacksonville- Will Campbell
'8) Cincinnati- Mason Gram
9) NY Jets- Nic Scourton
10) NY Giants- Carson Beck
11) Trade- Miami- Kelvin Banks Jr
12) New Orleans- Tetairoa McMillan
13) Arizona- Mykel Williams
14) Trade- Indianapolis- Malaki Starks
15) Dallas- Ashton Jeanty
16) Denver- Luther Burden
17) Philadelphia- Jalon Walker
18) Chicago- Jonah Savaiinaea
19) San Francisco- Shemar Stewart
20) Trade- Seattle- Cam Williams
21) LA Chargers- Deone Walker
22) Washington- Benjamin Morrison
23) Buffalo- Kenneth Grant
24) Green Bay- Tacario Davis
25) Pittsburgh- Isaiah Bond
26) Atlanta- Landon Jackson
27) Baltimore- Aireontae Ersery
28) Tampa Bay- Colston Loveland
29) Detroit- Jack Sawyer
30) Houston- Walter Nolen
31) Kansas City- Emeka Egbuka
32) Minnesota- Derrick Harmon
My review from when I watched it
"Skinamarink- I checked out of this movie almost immediately. This has a cult following, but I can’t recommend this low budget avant garde horror movie, although I tip my cap to the notoriety/hype it received for such a small and experimental movie"
It's not being chicken little to say that this game might be a little tougher than you'd expect with a 7 point spread
Houston is just fine against rush. #21 in EPA per rush, primarily because their DTs are just ok against it and because they'll stay in nickel against heavier personnel
I think New England will be extremely run heavy out of 12 personnel. The Texans stay in nickel against that, and NE has two good two-way TEs plus a QB who can move the chains with his legs in Maye. Houston should win a 0-net turnover game, but if they lose the turnover battle in a low possession game (because NE is moving the chains), then it could get a little dicey, especially if Houston has a lot of players out
Vecenie's updated mock. He said on his pod that Ace Bailey's upside is similar to Flagg's, but his floor isn't; has concerns about his shot selection (too many mid range jumpers and not enough at the rim or at three) and his functional ball handling, and if those issues aren't cleaned up he might be a thicker Brandon Ingram. He likes the three guards at 3-5 in the mock but they're a clear step below the first two. He sees 6-20 in this draft as relatively weak, and there's not a lot of separation in that group.

DJ's pod had Nagy on. They asked Nagy who some of his class favorites are right now to watch for
Josaiah Stewart- Michigan Edge
Elijah Arroyo- Miami TE
Darius Alexander- Toledo DL
Some national pods, for those interested. The national pods don't always get the small details right, but I think they're interesting to listen to, and sometimes they'll have new stats/metrics you don't hear elsewhere
