I'm not to crazy about the top QBs next year, Howell ? Slovis ? My fav is JT Daniels and I'm not sold on him

I like the class, especially considering that all of these guys will have one more season to show improvement. Howell, Slovis, Strong, Shough, Rattler, JT Daniels, McCall, Corral, Jayden Daniels. Gonna be some intriguing options. Some guys will disappoint, some guys will blow up.
Strong has absolutely caught my eye, he has everything you're looking for in terms of a true franchise QB prospect and he could still wind up being the 4th or 5th QB off the board which would put him in draftable territory for the 49ers.

As a Nevada student, this kid is the TRUTH. I've watched every game starting from last season and I may just be a huge homer, but I'm enamored with the guy. He's got the size, the arm, places the ball wherever he wants, and shows tremendous mobility in the pocket. I've seen him lead the team down in clutch moments a handful of times already in two seasons. This guy needs to be on the team if we lose out on every quarterback in this offseason.
Oh yeah, if he continues to progress as a passer, this is the dude you trade the house for. I really do like that he's a local NorCal guy after the 49ers have missed out on other top prospects from the area.
All Nevada QB Carson Strong does is throw absolute rockets

Strong has one of the strongest arms in college football, and his placement of the ball deep as well is fun to watch. He throws moonshots that seem to be placed
Perfectly in his receivers hands at times.

While the Mountain West doesn't offer the toughest competition he's actually faced some decent defenses this year.
Defenses current ranks
Wyoming 41st
San Diego State 9th
UNLV 125th
Utah State 121st
New Mexico 117th
Hawaii 103rd
Here are his stats when being pressured or being blitzed by defenses.

Under pressure
49/26 53.1 330 3/0 pass 46.9
13 sacks 6 throw aways adjusted 65.9
When blitzed
59/37 62.7 329 Yds 4/0 pass 68.9
4 sacks 1 throw away 74.1
Now let's take a look at his throws.
His ability to throw downfield is his strength, a combination of a strong arm and willingness to get rocked while delivering in stride is impressive. His touch and placement downfield is awe-inspiring as well. pic.twitter.com/4qS8MQlGEl

Strong has incredible velocity or zip on his ball as well. When he plants his feet and fires he throws an absolute fastball, that I would imagine can even be painful at times to bring in. pic.twitter.com/UxC1TJMOzL

And on top of all that, this came in a season with a shortened off season and season. Imagine what he does between now and next fall in terms of progressing mentally and physically. Nevada also has its top 4 receivers and top 2 running backs returning next year, so I see no reason for him not to light up the national stage next year.

People make leaps in a year. Especially when they have a chance to be a top pick.
Gotta give the guys a chance. I expect sophomores/redshirt sophomores/redshirt freshman to just show pro level athletic ability with their throws. They get a full year to refine those skills.

Romeo Doubs looks interesting too!!!! Found a neat little story on him too. I'm excited to watch this combo next year, and maybe one will be wearing Red and Gold next year.
