Maye and Williams will be top 3 overall picks in the upcoming draft. Ewers and McCarthy led their respective teams to the playoff this year. Dart is coming off a very good season in which he led Ole Miss to 10 wins. ****, McCord was pretty decent but unspectacular as a first-year starter. That accounts for more than half the list.
Yes, Williams and Ewers were transfers but Williams followed the coach with whom he signed coming out of HS to his new landing spot and won a Heisman Trophy. That’s a recruiting and development win considering the circumstances.
The hit rate for blue-chip QB’s is astronomically higher than the hit rate for 3* QB’s. There’s no question that holds true for the 2021 QB class as well.
