In a repeat appearance, we are fortunate to have the likes of Dane Brugler jump on air with us to talk through a STACKED 2021 NFL Draft class of quarterbacks!
This episode will kick off season 3 for "Up Close In Personnel with Alex Brown," and the goal is to spotlight evaluating and scouting around the NFL Draft from a variety of bright minds and perspectives across the league! Stay tuned for more draft-centric content as we near the 2021 NFL Draft and enjoy this week's material!

- Ex. 1 - Mac Jones & the perfect situation (elite OL, run game & playcaller)
- Ex. 2 - Zach Wilson & how he can't control the opponents he plays
- Ex. 3 - Justin Fields & the impressiveness in Ryan Day's playcalling
- Ex. 4 - Trey Lance & the low passing volume of NDSU offense
- Why is Zach Wilson entrenched at the #2 slot on Dane's board?
- "The single trait that separates great quarterbacks from good quarterbacks is the ability to make the great, spontaneous decision, especially at a crucial time." - Bill Walsh
- What makes Trey Lance so exciting as a prospect?
- High IQ and FBI, exceptional physical traits in terms of arm talent and mobility
- Debating the #3 Overall Pick for the Niners:
- Making the case for Justin Fields - elite traits and high ceiling
- Making the case for Mac Jones - arguably most accurate passer & best decision maker
- The Uniqueness of the 2021 NFL Draft
- Potential to be the first draft where QB's go 1, 2, 3, and 4 overall
