I know Penix got hurt on a couple of occasions at Indiana. I don't know the extent of those injuries. I think there was an ankle injury, since I bet on CFB so that rings a bell when a starting QB is out. I do know Indiana has never really had a good OL and that is a problem playing in the Bifg10.
The past 2 years he's been on a better OL/team and has produced good numbers and has looked good. We'll hear more news about his past health issues as we get closer to the draft. Unless you have solid information handy. I may have missed it if you already posted about it.
I also like Bo Nix a little better now, but it's close. His play has been very consistent and Oregon just trounces teams. He got trounced by Georgia last year but that was loaded with an NFL roster. Good match up against Washington this weekend. I will want to see that game for sure.
I also had JJ McCarthy as an option for our second pick (whether that be trading back up into the 1st) but something is wrong with him the past couple of weeks. I'm backing off until I know more.
Also of note, no way Jayden Daniels lasts to the end of the 1st/early second, where we could have a chance to nab him. My concern with him is he is very slight and runs almost like Lamar Jackson. He'll need to pack on a little weight but he has been great pretty much all year. Will easily be a Heisman finalist and out of our reach as second pick (was projected to go in the second round a month ago or so) unless we slide down a little in draft and pick him. Even then he still might go top 6.
