Washington's quarterback, Michael Penix Jr, has had an exceptional season. His passing accuracy and ability to extend plays with his legs make him one of the top prospects for the NFL draft.

  • Passing Yards: 4,218
  • Passing Touchdowns: 33

Ideal Draft Position

This is another instance of an accomplished top-tier QB in a crowded QB class, but Penix will fit excellently in Minnesota under Kirk Cousins for a year. The Vikes are at 22, or the Steelers at 23; after that, he becomes a second-round steal with Bo Nix.

Season Statistics:

  • Total Receptions: 51
  • Receiving Yards: 813
  • Receiving Touchdowns: 10

Ideal Draft Position

Mitchell will go before Worthy, and The Chiefs are undoubtedly drafting a WR at 25. All our mock drafts point to it being Mitchell, almost a bankable pick. During the College Playoffs, he can secure his destiny with ten receptions/200 yards/two TD line in the Sugar Bowl and National Championship games.
