  Chris Andrey segment two on the Way to the Combine, got a lot of
• 0:03
  work coming up in his camp over the next several weeks as they continue to
• 0:08
  chalk through everything in twenty twenty four, Chris, I'm asking about some of
• 0:10
  these quarterbacks, not the ones that are you know, coming off the board,
• 0:14
  probably want ed to like Drake May and Kevin Williams. We'll see what
• 0:17
  happens with Jade Daniels. A lot of buzz around JJ McCarthy, me and
• 0:21
  Beaver have been joking and cutting up about this, just because Beaver's not sold
• 0:25
  on McCarthy. I you know, Harvall obviously vouched McCarthy and I'm paraphras and
• 0:30
  called him just a few weeks ago, Hey, he's the best quarterback in
• 0:33
  the class. He's, you know, the best quarterback ever at Michigan.
• 0:37
  You're starting to see a lot of at least and you explained this to us
• 0:40
  well last year about you know, the media side versus what's really going on
• 0:44
  behind closed doors. JJ McCarthy, are you buying or selling? What does
• 0:48
  he bring to the table is the buzz reel competitor. He's smart. I
• 0:54
  think he's the leader. I think what you're seeing and I wouldn't be surprised
• 0:58
  at all if he goes somewhere late first round. Here's what will happen,
• 1:03
  and happens every year. The quarterback. The draft, in player evaluation and
• 1:12
  acquisition in particular, is no different than any profession. It's supplying demand.
• 1:18
  They're not enough quality quarterbacks. So you have guys and McCarthy would be one
• 1:22
  of them that you might be a good player at the next level that might
• 1:26
  develop. Any chance that a guy has, he's going to be you know,
• 1:32
  his stock's going to rise. It it is. It just happens every
• 1:37
  year. There's just not enough of them. Is he in the category of
• 1:41
  a Jaden Daniels. No, In my opinion, I think Michael Pennox has
• 1:45
  got a lot of ability. I think you'll see You'll see five and I
• 1:49
  wouldn't be surprised. Maybe six quarterbacks go in the first round just because supplying
• 1:53
  demand. And remember there's only going to be anywhere from eighteen to twenty two
• 1:59
  second round graded players in any draft. We got thirty two picks in the
• 2:04
  first round, so you can figure that there are ten to twelve, maybe
• 2:07
  as much as fourteen players that will be drafted in the first round with predominantly
• 2:13
  second round grades around the league. So just do the math. Anybody with
• 2:15
  second round we'll take him in the second round. You can't take him the
• 2:19
  second round. Guys. The second round grade that the quarterbacks are going to
• 2:23
  go to the top of the list, So you're gonna have, by just
• 2:25
  pure math, a dozen to fourteen second round graded players go in the first
• 2:30
  round. So I think McCarthy will be one of them. But I think
• 2:34
  the reason why people are talking about them the success they had this year,
• 2:38
  and I think maybe people just like to move on to different stories. You
• 2:43
  know, they've talked Catald Williams and Drake May and probably Jayden Daniels a bunch.
• 2:47
  You're going to see more talk about Michael Pennix than J. J.
• 2:51
  McCarthy, just because people are looking for something different to talk about.
