Color me confused! The thing I look for first in a QB is, "Does he want to lead?" I do not believe this guy does. You can fix the mechanics, but you can't train in passion for the game. He is not a student of the game. He has no clue on reading defenses. He doesn't see the field well and has trouble visualizing the point to throw to when leading a receiver. It would be easier to train a guy who'd never played QB.
He came into VT as a TE. So maybe there's more to this than there appears to be on the surface. He has outstanding athletic abilities, but I certainly do not see him as a future NFL QB. In any case he won't contribute next year. This pick coming behind a series of "Win Now" picks seems to make no sense. There were players on the board the could have helped. So much for stick to the board and go BPA. I'd be stunned if he had a high grade on the Cardinal board.
