I have been much more muted in my draft coverage than I can remember. I have been doing some research over the past few days in my free time and have decided to do my predraft write up.
With a week until the draft it looks like it's trending closer to the 2015 draft (the blackest draft on record). I have read a few 7 round mock drafts and they all seem to have the White body count in the low 40s (not including special team players). These of course should taken with a grain of salt but none the less set the barometer for what to expect.
It sounds like the undersized Bryce Young is going 1st overall - another plug and play Alabama quarterback. Meanwhile Stetson Bennett is projected to be an UDFA - the only two differences between them are Bennett is old for a prospect and White. I have a hard time thinking he would be viewed as a top prospect if he were 22 instead of 25. Let us not forget Hendon Hooker is 25 years old and was put into a QB friendly offensive system, is coming off a torn ACL and has been getting hype.I actually saw someone call this out in the comments on profootballtalk and it received a higher number of upvotes than downvotes. Pleasant surprise on someone else calling this stuff out. I have seen Bennett linked to the Ravens as well due to Baltimore hiring the former UGA offensive coordinator.
Here is the comment:

So age is an issue for Stetson…but not for Hendon Hooker? Breaking the law is bad for Stetson but not for Jalen Carter? I sense a LOT of PC bias here. Stetson CAN make all the throws, he certainly outperformed EVERY QB in the 2022 and 2023 NFL drafts….yet he’s not draftable? I think that if Stetson’s skin tone was darker, he’d be a media favorite…but he’s pale so everyone is making sure to use him to check their PC boxes.
Levis is getting the expected treatment White QBs will face from now on - much more highly scrutinized than their black counterparts - my guess is this trend will be the common practice in the caste system moving forward. One of the more comical criticisms of Levis was that he could not beat out Sean Clifford for the starting job at PSU. I am not the biggest Clifford fan but as a college QB he was very good and won alot of games for the Nittany Lions. These same dopes won't say anything about Anthony Richardson not being able to beat out Emory Jones though. I for one will be rooting for Levis to end up in a good situation.
My best bet for the other White QBs in this draft and where they will end up getting drafted is:
Tanner McKee 3rd-4th round
Aidan O'Connell 4th-5th
Jake Haener 4th-6th
Holton Ahlers 5th-6th
Clayton Tune 6th-UDFA
Stetson Bennett 6th-UDFA
Max Duggan 7th-UDFA
In trying to be positive I think seeing 6 White QBs drafted would be a win this year just due to the totally unchallenged force fed black qb agenda being pushed by the media, moronic fans and league. Every year teams are often hurt by their lack of investing in and developing QBs through the draft.
It's very possible TE is the only position that double digit White athletes will get drafted. It's probably the most stacked White position I can recall in some time. Interesting that when White athletes are given the opportunity to play a certain position they dominate. Several of these guys could have been edge defenders. Overall the views on the TE class have been very good in regards to our guys. Of course the media is hyping up the decently productive black TE from Georgia as the best in the class but I think we all know the best TEs this year are White.
Michael Mayer, Dalton Kincaid, Sam LaPorta and Luke Musgrave all seem to be slated to go anywhere from the late 1st round to the third round. Tucker Craft, Josh Whyle, Luke Schoonmaker, Zach Kuntz , Will Mallory could all be late 3rd to 5th rounders and we could see some surprises to bump the number of Whites drafted to end up being +10.
