If he declared last year sure he may have been the 6th/7th QB taken. However he came back and continued to improve this past season. If we are talking about current Cam Ward vs last years prospects he’s probably 3rd or 4th behind Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and maybe Drake Maye. Had a guy like Jayden Daniels declared in 2023, he likely would have been a day 2 pick.
I disagree , even with his improvement in 24 he'd still have been just before or just after Nix. His decision making is poor and his throwing motion is bad. He's going to need a bunch of coaching up and that may or may not work.
I wouldn't take him in we had the #1 pick, still wouldn't if Carter or Graham or even Tet were there @ 9
