Today kicks off the first of our 2024 draft preview series. NFL scouts give us their early analysis of the quarterbacks.

• Caleb Williams, USC

  — “He’s electric. Like if Kyler Murray were 6-1 and gave a crap about football.”

  — “I am not sold on the Lincoln Riley scheme producing pro quarterbacks, but his traits are elite, elite. He’s QB1 until proven otherwise.”

  — “Crazy arm talent. Very good mobility that he uses to extend plays and not just run around. I get the Mahomes comps.”

  —”Go back, watch the (2021) Texas game where he comes in at halftime and leads that comeback for OU. Poised, confident, deadly.”
