I am not QB expert and we don't have a lot of data points and may not get many more. The reason I ask is speculating whether will he come back next year. If he is viewed as an early round draft pick, I assume he will leave, but if NFL scouts have questions and it isn't clear that he is an early round pick, will he return?
On offense, the big questions are whether Sarell, Dalman, Wedington and Mills come back. Mills is most important out of that group, but we would certainly welcome all back.
On defense, I am encouraged by our young CBs. That should be the strength of our team next year. Booker is the key guy that we need to return. I assume that the 5th year guys Robinson, Fox, Antoine and Schaffer won't return. Hopefully Gabe Reid will return for a fifth year.
Good question. I think any NFL team will be wary of his injury history. Being able to get through a regular college season unscathed will help that. I certainly think he has the arm skills. But I don’t think there has been enough time to get a real grasp of his pocket presence/skills and his mobility. He is not a dual threat QB. But I think he has sufficient legs to play at the next level. He moves better than Goff or Garrapolo, to name a couple.
Still, I can’t see him being a high pick in ‘21. Late rounds if at all. If he played a full season in ‘21, I think his stock increases significantly. One big question is - where. Does he go into the portal? If so, I suspect he’s be looking for a top 25 program that has a QB leaving and no obvious replacement.
