Honestly,

He looks like a big-dumb idiot.

But that's to be expected when you get an education from Stanford.

Future bust in the making.

He won’t get drafted…bust is a compliment for this guy.

6-6 drink of water with noodle arm and powderpuff toughness. No

I mean that's just flat out wrong.  All I'll tell you are people that make decisions in the league think otherwise.  As much as people want to hype up Penix, Richardson, etc. who have a plethora of issues and simply aren't ready, you have a guy here with every physical trait you can ask for that's moldable.  Could he be a Hackenberg? Sure, but it would be extremely shortsided to discount based off of Stanford's play as a team.

This guy is off the radar and anyone really considering this guy is looking at measurables.  You have your opinion so thats great…I don’t see anything appealing with him

Not what I hear from TEN and SF at least.  SF guy is retired but TEN connects are still in it.  Arthur dislikes him.

That’s fine…I am seriously wondering if the days of the tall pocket passers are become extinct.  Game is changing.  Not sure I like that but dual threats are the new jazz

A guy like him rises because he has the stuff that some places absolutely prioritize (size & arm primarily) so what seems like rather averageness on the outside is viewed at a different floor due to those high marks w/ sheer physical traits.

[ForJimmy]

If they are saying he runs a 4.6-4.7, that’s far from a “statue.” I don’t know much about him, but I see him going in the 2nd and a couple have him sneaking into the 1st on some of these mocks.

[Shocker]

My top 4 (which to us should be the real targets) are:

Young, Stroud, Levis and Richardson in order.  You could shuffle the deck and any of them could be on top in 5 years.  
 

Richardson and Levis have very high upside but major questions.  Young is the best player right now.  Stroud kinda worries me.  He feels “manufactured” in that offense more than the others

[Captroop]

Not familiar, but I like his game tape. He doesn't have a lot of talent around him so he has to make every completion happen. The main thing I notice is he does well on the "Wide Open" test. Watch, or rather listen to the highlight reel for a QB and see how many times the announcer exclaims, "Wide Open!" I think I heard one Wide Open on McKee's highlight reel. He's throwing his receivers open; putting the ball where his receiver has a chance to go up and beat his defender, rather than just hitting a talented WR who's got 5 yards separation from the nearest defender.

Conversely, watch Trey Lance's highlights. Take a shot every time you hear "Wide Open" ... if you have a death wish.

I think McKee's not flashy, and doesn't have stunning game tape, but considering what he's got surrounding him, I'd gamble a second round pick that his tool set translates to the pro game.

0% chance. Rhule and his wife are no longer eligible to make draft picks.

I don't think Fitt would do that.  If we are going to burn a first on a QB he better have the tools to start, even if it is 2024.  

I am not convinced that any of these QBs are franchise type players.  If Young were taller maybe him but otherwise, they most likely are serviceable.

In our current position I don't think Stroud or Young will be there at our pick.  I would expect us to go with another position of need or possibly trade down and get an extra pick or two. 

 

[ECHornet]

Watched his 2021 highlights and then his game against USC this year. I like him, but most of his passes are touch passes. I rarely saw him fire a bullet.  
 

I like him and wouldn’t mind drafting him with our late 2nd or lower.

McKee has prototypical talent, but if were him, I would consider transferring to have a year to show out. Oregon is losing Nix and a backup just announced a transfer. Would see if there is interest there.
