and Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and this time I promise I

promise we will get into hardcore NFL combine breakdowns and to keep me on track so I don't just rant about the

week quarterback class is Chris Rapasso of CBS Sports. You want to talk about how

weak the quarterback classes? Chris because I have I have a

moc draft here on my computer from CBS Sports that has five first-round

quarterbacks. It's pretty weak I guess. Yeah it's not weak and we kind of hinted at that.

The quarterbacks will always get pushed up and once the combine rolled around a lot of people

would start to change the reputation for guys like Malik Willis, even Kenny Pickett.

I've thrown Desmond Ritter inside my first rounds for the past couple months.

Got some criticism on Twitter for it was didn't really care because they're just mocked drafts but Desmond Ritter has like I have said the a little bit of the athleticism the armtail and he's a quote-unquote win the but got that non-power five school to the college football playoff or was at least the quarterback on a really good team.

And I think what was interesting to me about the quarterbacks at the combine was that there seemed to be a very positive chorus about Sam Howell from North Carolina.

That PFF moved him up to their number one quarterback in the draft.

Just watching the quarterbacks last night on Thursday night.

Daniel Jeremiah, Peter Shrager all really talking him up that it was really just

the skill position talent leaving him and that's why his production dropped.

So I don't think Sam Howell being a first round pick is out of the question.

Like you're saying with that mock draft, five quarterbacks going in the first round is not out of

the realm of possibility, especially if maybe it's not Kurt Cousins

and for your sake, hopefully not,

this veteran quarterback market

doesn't feature as much movement

as maybe I thought leading into the combine.
