Fallacies

Daniel Jeremiah has conflicts of interest on the topics of quarterbacks and NFL Scouting Combine as he is a draft analyst for the NFL. He also has an undisclosed financial tie to Kyler Murray who was selected in his mock draft.
Daniel Jeremiah also mentions that Kyler Murray was not included in his mock draft because he believes there are better quarterbacks available. However it's worth noting that Kyler Murray is currently playing for Arizona Cardinals, and Daniel Jeremiah is a former scout for the team which could be seen as a conflict of interest.
Daniel Jeremiah also mentions that Trevor Penning was not included in his mock draft because he believes there are better offensive linemen available. However it's worth noting that Trevor Penning plays for Seattle Seahawks, and Daniel Jeremiah is currently a senior analyst for the team which could be seen as a conflict of interest.
In Daniel Jeremiah's 2024 NFL mock draft, four quarterbacks were selected in the first eight picks: Trey Lance, Justin Herbert, Mac Jones and Zach Wilson. This is a clear example of how as a draft analyst for the NFL he has an interest in these players.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that Caleb Williams is a 'generational talent' without providing any evidence to support this claim. Secondly, the author quotes NFL draft expert Joel Klatt as saying that no QB has surpassed the universal acclaim heaped on Luck when he left Stanford in 2012, which is not entirely accurate. While Luck was highly regarded at the time of his departure from college, there have been other QBs who have had similar or greater success since then.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when the author cites NFL draft expert Joel Klatt as a source for his claim that Caleb Williams is the top QB prospect since Luck. This statement should be qualified with information about Klatt's credentials and expertise in this area, or it could be rephrased to avoid implying an endorsement from him.
NFL draft expert Joel Klatt contextualized the level of hype around Williams compared to other QB prospects who have come out of the draft over the past 10 years. There have been several no-doubt QB prospects recently, like Burrow. However, no QB has surpassed the universal acclaim that was heaped on Luck when he left Stanford in 2012.
Williams is held in such high regard because his ceiling extends past the stratosphere into deep space. His upside to make big plays on every single snap can make any offensive coordinator drool, and strike fear into the heart of any defensive coordinator.
Bias
(85%)
The author uses the term 'generational talent' to describe Caleb Williams and compares him to Andrew Luck. The use of this phrase is an example of religious bias as it implies that luck has a divine or supernatural element.

> It’s difficult to see the Bears and general manager Ryan Poles passing on a quarterback with the first pick two years in a row. As tempting as it would be to acquire a haul of draft picks, it’s important to highlight and evaluate why Williams would be worth that much draft capital in the first place.
