Michael Penix Jr. has had what I’d call a modest climb, as far as I can tell, over the past few weeks.hesitant to say anyone is “flying up draft boards” because it just doesn’t happen that way. More often than not, it’s the media catching up to what teams think of guys, and the conversation through the public shifting accordingly.. He had a nice pro day, no doubt. The 40-yard dash in the 4.
The strongest answer I got was easy to understand. Simply put, Penix has things that you can’t coach. The deep-ball accuracy is off the charts. He throws with anticipation. And he’s tough as nails and very football smart. So where a scout looks at sometimes-scattershot accuracy underneath, and some issues with movement through the pocket, the coach looks at what he can coach, and what he can’t, and believes he can fill in the blanks thereafter.
Put it all together, and I think how Penix’s fate plays out should be one of the more intriguing storylines of draft weekend.The Michigan quarterback’s had a good few months. In a meeting room setting, his football IQ has reflected his experience running a pro-style offense, and That said, the workout helped put to bed the idea that McCarthy doesn’t have starting-quarterback tools. He’s not the physical outlier that a lot of guys who go that high in the draft usually are, but that’s not his game anyway.than any of the other quarterbacks in his class. Which is why we’re discussing the possibility that he goes in the top five.
Second, on his old deal, he was owed $18 million or more in each of the next four years. There’s also always the chance that, upon being traded, a player is going to make noise about wanting his contract revised . He'll also have motivation, with the last three years of his contract chopped off and another set of “doubters” to prove wrong. Which, of course, wouldn’t be part of the equation had he returned to Buffalo for a fifth season, and is why, really, this deal made sense for everyone involved.
It’s as good a situation as a first-round quarterback could hope for. Now, the Vikings have to find the right one—whether it’s a guy who could eventually carry a team or someone good enough now to be the bus driver with the potential to become more. And there’s no question that they’re turning over every rock they can, and piling up a lot of air miles, to get there.So, yes, personnel chief Eliot Wolf’s going to take phone calls on the pick.
