Todd McShay on the Second Best QB in This Year’s Draft | The Ryen Russillo Podcast 

Miss my guy Todd! Always enjoyed his breakdowns more than Mel.

Like this comment if you think Ryen should release whole episode recordings! Love the show just wish they would post the full videos of the podcast episodes

I love listening to all the draft stuff cause most of these people are going to horribly wrong

I like how every GM is either feeding bad advice hoping a guy will fall to them or just guessing about how a college guy will translate it the NFL. What matters most is the talent around them and the coaching staff being patient with their development. So McShay knows half these guys are screwed out of the gate but still puts in the work way more than most NFL network guys like Jeremiah. Gotta respect McShay for doing his own work.

Ridiculous ESPN got rid of Todd McShay.He such a great evaluater of college talent.Wish some other sports cable entity would hire him

The pre draft stuff just isn’t the same without Todd and Mel

Hey it’s Todd! We miss you buddy.

Really enjoy Todd’s takes

3:48 That there lies the problem. Simply "unlocking" that quality isn't guaranteed. Many QBs fail in the NFL level because they never can "unlock" that quality.

Love Ryen and Todd. ESPN doesn't make good decisions

You guys should do this again closer to the draft.

Good stuff, I watched a Jayden Daniels breakdown video three weeks ago that highlighted Daniels anticipation throws and they were mostly deep outs. It was pretty impressive

Todd is so good

What makes picking the right guy so difficult is that you also have to project what he’s going to be 2-3 years down the road. If you’re comparing apples to apples. Go look at Daniels 2021 stats when he was just 21 as Maye is. He threw 10 touchdowns 10 interceptions and threw for 2382 yards. Daniels Can definitely ball, but don’t forget you’re comparing a 5th year starter to a 2 year starter.

How positive are you that if the Patriots take a QB that the pick will be Drake Maye? He was the 6th QB in Chris Simms evaluation of QB's. Also he seems to be dropping in other draft commentary. Are you open to having Chris Simms on your Podcast

What I don’t understand is how they ignore the fact Daniels played 5 years and is 2 years older then Maye it took him 5 years for one good season and you ignore that

i'm just scared of Jaden frame and how skinny he is - kinda reminds me of RGIII

Greg Cossell is considered the GOAT of Quarterback evaluations, and says there is little justification to compare Caleb Williams to Patrick Mahommes.

I completely disagree. All three have elite tools, maybe slightly less in area or more in another but all good arms, can make plays with their legs and out of structure. Maye is the best processor of the 3 and the most likely to reach a high ceiling. It’s one of the easier things to fix a guys mechanics to become more consistent from college to the pros. With JD you are looking at a lot more of a Lamar/Hurts trajectory if he puts it together. Caleb is probably the best mix and the highest ceiling theoretically,

The Bengals are excellent at drafting WRs. Always have Pro Bowl and All Pro talent. I just wish they were better at drafting offensive linemen lately. They had Whitworth and Kevin Zeitler so I won’t totally kill them on that and Cordell. Olson at LG looks like a keeper.

One thing none of these guys are talking about is the age differences between some of these QBs. Daniels played 5 years in college and didn’t really blow up until his 5th year. Williams and Maye are both true juniors - 2 years younger than Daniels. So I think the younger guys probably have more upside in the future. Also, Daniels is very thin, and relies on running too much for the pros.

Jayden Daniels to Commanders !

Speaking as a Washington fan, grabbing Joe Alt and jumping back up to get Penix is sounding more and more like a good idea.

I’ve been consistently saying Michael Penix Jr is going to be the most successful QB that comes out of this draft barring injury. That’s the hill I’m dying on and I have no problem that no one else believes this

The best QBs in the draft are the ones that excel at the next level ! We shall see.

Todd McShay 🐻🐻‍❄Bear Down

I remember Ryen with a full head of hair. ESPN wasn’t a great environment for him. Happy for him now.

Todd Mcshay!

JJ, Daniels, Maye, Caleb, Penix in the second, Travis in the 3rd and Mordacai in the 5th those are the only draftable QB's. That's also the draft order.

I have been screaming Jayden is the best just like I screamed CJ was last year.

Praying my Vikes do not end up with Jayden. Hearing this about him and how he might have mental blocks and not wanting to throw people open scares the absolute bajeezus out of me. That right there has the making for an absolute big time QB bust. I love the Brett Favre, Manning and Mahomes uber confident and in total control moxey aura in my rookie QB prospects. I don't see that in this QB class.

Who needs ESPN when we have RU-vid? Good hearing from you Todd. Jayden Daniels… You are a COMMANDER! HTTC!

Love how he named the white Wr’s as potential patriots weapons 😂

Why doesn't NE trade a 3rd and a future 4-5th for Fields and draft Harrison or eve trade down?

"TODD TODD TODD TODD"

One of the standard statements we keep hearing is about how Jayden Daniels had an unfair advantage due to the high caliber receivers he had. I don't ever hear the counter to that statement with the fact that he was also playing against the best corners and most fierce Dlines throughout the SEC.

I’ll never forgive Todd for saying gabbert was better than cam 😂

Thank you Mcshay. Caleb had a down year with a TERRIBLE oline and the worst defense. His '22 tape was special, the '23 stuff showed inconsistencies but the supporting cast was not holding their weight at all

He switched his number 2 after talking to Chris Simms

Jayden doesn't throw picks because he only throws 9 yards passes and the rest of the yards are because of his talented receivers. I don't understand the love. He is Justin Fields but smaller.

Daniels is so slight a build I fear his ability to last in the NFL

McShay tells a story then says “My point is..” and proceeds to tell another story. Never gets to the point 😂

Did he just suggest the patriots get Pearsal or Ladd Makoncky 😂😂 talk about on brand.

For the patriots it’s Maye or bust. The pats should trade their #3 and their 2024 4th round pick to move to #2 to guarantee Maye falls to them

Every year the best qb in draft are predicted. They were wrong on Brady, Mahomes, Prescott, Purdy, Cousins, Winston, Marriota,ZWilson,M Jones,and Tribsky(sp). Pick a qb in the 3rd round and you might find a diamond.

He even says Caleb year two years ago was the best and had a great year this year Myers had two very good years both with far less talent and can play multiple styles. Vs a guy that had one good year out of 5 on a stacked team

JD5 to the Vikings all day!!!

If LSUs defense had just been average last year we would have been National Champions again. No question In my mind. We had the number 1 offense in America and the 119th ranked defense. It was the worst defense In LSUs long history. That’s why the entire god dam defensive staff were fired and we went and payed the best coaches available and all I’ll say for next year is watch out.

Do they still use QBs? I only see QB/RBs these last few drafts. Bring back the real QBs!

Shameful that ESPN fired this guy and kept the trash.

watch Penix Jr. be the most successful out of all of them

Nabers is the best WR coming out this year. Daniel’s is the best QB this year. Yes I think he will wind up being better than Caleb Williams. He played against better competition. SEC defenses are the most like NFL defenses. Nabers is the best WR and it’s not even close. Brian Thomas Jr is the second best WR in the nation this year and it’s a motherfucking crime that he was t picked as an All American. I would take Thomas Over Harrison, Odunze, or anyone else. He and Nabers can separate at will. They run by people. You don’t see Harrison do that because he can’t do that. We don’t know how fast he is because he didn’t run. That tells Me he is probably high 4.5’s

So basically he saying the patriots need to draft a white receiver smh

JD is going to get hurt real bad

There's more Trubisky's game to Maye than most think. He will be a massive bust.

Bo Nix is the best QB in this draft. Whoever winds up with him I truly believe is getting a stud.

JD TO DC🎉🎉🎉

Penix Jr > Jayden Daniels

good to see ole boozebag McShay!

Everyone pumping Jayden doesn't mention his size and how almost no NFL QBs his size have been healthy for years.

Drake is a better QB than Daniel's

No caleb is third round at best....

Prospect Fatigue is a hell of a drug...Jayden is not an NFL QB

Why does McShay always sound drunk now, since his release from ESPN?
