Summary
Get the best draft coverage from the Cover 3 crew, who knows these players better than anyone. First, how the quarterback class looks as a whole and how the group stacks up against each other (3:00), specifically with questions about the ways that Justin Fields and Zach Wilson have been scouted by NFL experts (14:15). Then it’s on to where our college-first analysis seems to differ from the NFL Draftniks, including there’s a great hit rate for players taken on Day 2 (27:00). Finally, if you had to bet on one player from this class to make the most Pro Bowls 10 years from now, who are you taking (42:00)?
