Joel Klatt and Daniel Jeremiah discuss the quarterback heavy 2024 NFL Draft | Joel Klatt Show

What teams do you think will draft quarterbacks in the first round?

there is so much smokescreens during this time, and we know most of the time, we'll be fortunate if one of these QBs becomes great, maybe another one is good, the rest end up backups or out of the league

Every single draft includes one of these guys. JJ about to be the next Z Wilson.

If Penix didn't have the injury/surgery history, he'd be my #1.

Great episode. Thank you.

Great job Joel.

I've watched every play. JJ is the real deal. He can throw on the run. He can run. He can lead. He will transition and his team will love him.

I don't know what camera Joel uses, but the image is so good.

my 2 fave in the business

Sometimes the intangibles can tell you a lot more than production. You always hear JJ talking about whatever he can do for the team to win ball games. That's what he cares about. Fantastic leader, always working on his game, which was evident at his pro day. Near perfect footwork. Sick of people bringing up the Penn State game. He was injured and played through it. Did they win that game? Yes. That's what matters to him. 34-2 in high school with 2 championships. 27-1 at Michigan with a National Championship. Better in every critical situation than Drake Maye. Against the blitz, YPA, explosive play rate, 3rd downs, etc. Do your research. Not saying he's going to be better than any other QB, just saying there are many reasons teams are loving him so much.

humility. ya gotta love it. 13:50

I think that’s spot on. Do we have a Eli-Philip River- Big Ben year or Trever Lawrence- Zack Wilson -Trey Lance year. I wonder what the history over twenty years is. I think 3 QBs hitting in a year is rare, let alone 5.

I feel like this QB class is going to be what the 2021 class was supposed to be

There was another Michigan QB who was undervalued and now he’s the GOAT.

Realistically, for the teams needing a quarterback, 0 to 2 teams will get their elite or close to elite guy. 1 to 2 teams will get a competent guy who gives them a chance. And everyone else will be fired within the next three years.

It's more fun not knowing who Washington wants. I enjoy seeing chaos when teams finally get on the clock. I love seeing mysteries and possible trades. This isn't like the Jets trading up a few years back when they didn't know what QB they'd get. Denver, Minnesota, New England seem to want ONE certain guy.

I’m 🙏🏽 the Raiders draft Penix!

Hope this draft class is like 2020. Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Love and Hurts.

I love and respect Joe Klatt. He fair and balanced when talking about college players. He doesn’t just get stuck regurgitating the same narrative the other people who talk college football. But Daniel Jeremiah I don’t understand this dudes thinking. If you have seen his mock draft it just doesn’t make sense. I think it would take way more that Minnesota is willing to give up to budge Arizona off that 4th pick. Why? They don’t need the draft capital. It’s kind of like what we saw with Seattle over the past two seasons. They weren’t trading down because they didn’t need to they had the draft capital. Arizona has 5 picks in the first 2 days. They will and should take the best player on the board which happens to be a position they need and that is WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Look Nabers and Odunze are going to be solid pros but MHJ is generational. I hope he is right and they do trade the pick as a Seahawks fan I don’t want to see Arizona land MHJ. But unfortunately I don’t see this as a possibility. Then to see the chargers also pass up on MHJ and trade the pick to the Jets makes me believe either DJ is a Jets fan or he needs to be drug tested immediately. I am thinking a trade will be done by Patriots or Chargers with the Vikings. If Patriots think they can get McCarthy at 11 they will do the trade. Then the Patriots will also have a chance to add a legit WR1 with their second 1st rd pick. Also I believe the Bears and the Jets trade down. Bears will need a lot more draft picks. I won’t be surprised if the Bengals swap picks with the Jets but the Jets may throw in a future 2 or 3 and the Bengals add Higgins on top of their pick 18. Jets are all in this year they need proven weapons for Rodgers. Bengals will draft Odunze at 10 and the Jets will draft UW OL Troy Fautanu at 18 where he will start out at G and maybe in a year or two could slide over to T. If Seattle truly wants a QB it’s one guy and one guy only and that is Michael Penix. But they need to hop the Raiders to get this guy. The Denver Broncos are in some financial trouble after letting Wilson go. Plus they need draft capital. So Denver is an obvious team wanting to trade out of 12. I think Den makes a trade with Seattle. I believe Seattle got Howell as a trade commodity. Denver was one of the teams trying to trade for Howell as well. I believe Seattle will send Howell plus their pick and maybe the Seahawks later 4th. Howell has 2 years left on his deal making less than a million per year. He’s a proven starter who can take a beating and was having a pretty good first season starting until the team just gave up. By getting Howell they have a cheap QB and can use the next couple of years to clear all that dead money from Wilsons contract. I also think Denver will trade the pick they got from Seattle a couple more times and Denver doesn’t make their pick until the early part of 2nd round. Seattle will get QB Penix. Penix has been working out with Geno Smith and Smith has indicated he is cool with Seattle drafting a young QB. Not to mention his OC from college is now the OC for the Seahawks. If you made it this far I thank you for taking the time.

Bears(1), Commanders(2), Patriots(3), Vikings(5), Raiders (10), Rams (19). That's all the 1st round QB draft positions and teams. Williams, Daniells, Maye, McCarthy, Penix Jr and Nix. There you go.
