Predicting the 2024 NFL Draft Landing Spots for Michael Penix Jr.

Selecting a quarterback like Penix Jr. could be a pivotal move for the New York Giants, who have been searching for a franchise quarterback since Eli Manning. With Daniel Jones's future as the team leader uncertain, opting for Penix Jr. could be a strategic choice. Although never say never, it's doubtful the Giants will use their first-round pick on Penix Jr., meaning if they do select him, it'll likely be at some point in the second round or later. If the chips fall the Giants' way and there's genuine interest, this is a marriage that could happen. 

The Las Vegas Raiders are likely in a position where their next franchise quarterback isn't currently on their roster, indicating they'll probably look to the draft to fill the gap. Without trading up in the draft, the chances of the Raiders securing one of the draft's top three quarterbacks — Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels—seem slim. Once those names are taken, predicting the destination of the next tier of quarterbacks becomes challenging. Michael Penix Jr. might be suitable for the Raiders, especially if they stick with Aidan O'Connell. 

It appears the Minnesota Vikings will let Sam Darnold take the reins as quarterback next season. That doesn't mean they won't draft a quarterback, though. The odds suggest the Vikings are in the market for their next franchise quarterback after Kirk Cousins departed in free agency. There's a real chance that if the Vikings don't move up, they will find a way to select Penix Jr. 

Although the Denver Broncos have shorter odds to select Bo Nix, it wouldn't be all that shocking to see them covet Penix Jr. Although most have these two quarterbacks in the second tier of this draft class, there's a realistic chance one or both of them ultimately hit as starters. That's not to say either has a crazy high ceiling, but there's still value in what these respective QBs bring. Penix Jr. has some Drew Brees in him, and we know how that relationship worked out with Sean Payton.
