Michael Penix Jr.’s draft stock appears to be on the rise in the weeks ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Washington quarterback is “pretty likely” to be a first-round pick and “likely” to be selected with one of the first 16 picks in the draft, NFL Media reported Thursday.
Penix Jr. might have helped his draft status at Washington’s Pro Day last week, reportedly running a sub 4.6 40-yard dash and impressing scouts in other athletic testing drills.

* odds as of 4/4/24
As expected, several quarterback-needy teams are among the favorites to draft Penix Jr. Still, most of the favorites aren’t teams picking in the top five, as Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy are expected to be selected in that range.
So, that could leave the Raiders, Vikings, Seahawks and Broncos in a spot to draft him if they’re unable to trade up to nab a top pick.
