Sam Monson said Quinn Ewers is the exact type of lottery-ticket quarterback he would place in Mike McDaniel’s offense. Monson argued that Miami’s YAC-heavy scheme and track-team speed would minimize Ewers’ biggest weakness—deep-ball consistency—while accentuating his quick release and RPO background from Texas. He reminded listeners that Ewers entered college as a rare 1.000-grade 247Sports recruit, flashed top-10 pick talent in early 2022 before a shoulder injury, and then gutted through multiple ailments last season, which sapped his arm strength and tanked his accuracy metrics (PFF passing grade fell from 85.2 pre-injury to 70.6 after). Because of those injuries, Monson views Ewers’ seventh-round draft capital as a buying opportunity for superflex dynasty managers who can afford a 1-to-2-year stash. If Tua Tagovailoa’s concussion history resurfaces or Miami decides against a massive second contract, Ewers could be the cheap in-house replacement with upside. Fantasy takeaway: scoop him up in the fourth round of rookie drafts or spend a late $1 in deep best-ball formats and hope the development track mirrors Brock Purdy rather than Kellen Mond.

Lance Zierlein cautioned dynasty managers against banking on Quinn Ewers as a high-end NFL prospect. While acknowledging flashes against Michigan (2023) and Alabama (2022), Zierlein argued you “keep having to hang on to those same two games.” He flagged Ewers’ continued injury issues—"he's injured all the time and he's not durable enough"—and questioned the quarterback’s ability to “play chess” with NFL defenses, citing limited field reading and slow processing. Given those red flags, Zierlein views Ewers as a volatile developmental pick rather than a surefire starter, advising Superflex drafters to treat him as a speculative swing rather than a cornerstone asset.

Ryan Wilson applauded Miami for scooping Quinn Ewers near the end of the seventh round, calling it a classic low-risk, high-ceiling swing for superflex players. Wilson reminded viewers that Ewers once out-dueled Bryce Young and Will Anderson in the 2022 Alabama game before injuries derailed his Texas career. He compared the rookie to Tua Tagovailoa—accurate, anticipatory and injury-prone—but noted Ewers carries a noticeably bigger arm when healthy. With both Tagovailoa and Zach Wilson sporting long medical files, Wilson sees a plausible path to starts as early as 2026 and possibly sooner if health issues resurface. He praised Mike McDaniel’s timing-based system as an ideal fit for Ewers’ quick release and said the chip of falling almost to Mr. Irrelevant could “light a fire” that accelerates his development. Dynasty drafters were urged to grab Ewers in the fourth round of rookie drafts and stash him on taxi squads, banking on future spot-start value in a high-octane Dolphins offense.

Ryan Wilson scoffed at a listener comparing Quinn Ewers to Tom Brady, saying the analogy ignores the single biggest scouting red flag on Ewers: availability. Wilson conceded Ewers flashes a livelier arm and more athleticism than Brady showed coming out of Michigan, but Brady strung together healthy seasons in both college and the NFL, whereas Ewers has already missed multiple stretches at Texas with shoulder issues. Until Ewers proves he can survive a full campaign, Wilson believes NFL teams will continue to view him as a late‑Day‑2 red‑shirt project—echoing his earlier mock that placed Ewers with the Rams at the end of Round 3. Wilson advised bettors not to chase long‑shot markets that price Ewers as a top‑15 pick, arguing medicals will keep his draft stock capped unless 2024 provides a clean bill of health.
