There are six quarterbacks who may go in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and I like them all. I think that if any of the six land in the right situation, they can be good NFL quarterbacks, and I would have ranked any of them as the second-best quarterback in last year’s draft after C.J. Stroud.
That said, all of them carry some degree of risk, and “the right situation” is different for everyone (woe to whoever lands with Kliff Kingsbury in Washington). I think the issues with three of them — Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, and Michael Penix — can be boiled down to a few quick paragraphs, so let’s do that.
