I am going to evaluate as many as I can and I hope to get them all on the first page if possible, so please, don't respond until I reserve the first page.

Junior Highlights
-First off, marvel at the punishment he lays on the defender at the 1:40 mark
-Great size; looks like a TE
-Elite arm strength; capable of making all the throws
-Very accurate, especially the deep ball
-Throws very well on the run and across his body; testament to his arm strength
-Good, not great mechanics; could use a little work on his follow through; excellent release point on his passes
-Footwork is inconsistent; sometimes it's great, other times he gets happy feet (expected from a high school Junior)
-Literally took one snap under Center in his highlight reel
; probably going to need work making the transition to a Pro-Style offense
-Above average athlete; quicker than I thought he would be anyway
-Not afraid of contact; steps up in the pocket to deliver the throw
-I don't know much about the competition he plays against, but I will say that there appeared to be a bunch of undersized white guys on the defensive side of the ball
I started to get a "Hackenberg
feeling" watching Cornwell's tape. As of right now, admittedly I'm in the early part of the process, he would be #1 on my list to land for next years class.

Tyler Harris

Junior Highlights
-Good size at 6'3" 205 lbs
-Very strong arm; puts some zip into it when he needs to
-Has a slightly odd delivery; tends to open up his throwing shoulder more in the pocket when he should stay more compact
-Footwork is good, not great; Sets a nice base when he throws from the pocket
-Strangely enough, his mechanics throwing on the run are better than his mechanics in the pocket; that's usually reversed
-Very accurate passer
-One snap under Center that ended up being a QB sneak
-Playing in Georgia allows him to play against top competition
-Pretty good athlete; evasive in the pocket while avoiding the rush
Overall, I like Harris. However, there is just something about him that doesn't feel right. I can't explain it. I wouldn't mind getting him, but I think we could do better.

Junior Highlights
-What a block to start off the tape
-Good height; nice build
-Mechanically he needs some work on his follow through and release point, but they are good overall
-Has a little experience taking snaps under Center, but the majority of his film is from the shotgun
-Footwork is a little frenetic
-Good athlete; not extremely fast, but decent speed
-Above average arm
-Not afraid of contact; certainly doesn't shy away from it if he needs a yard or two
-Pretty accurate, but needs to be more consistent
I think Dawkins could be really good given some time to add bulk and tweak his mechanics. He appears to have a good base skillset to be special given time.

We plan to sticky this as soon as NSD is wrapped up.
Thanks for your work, bro.

EJ Moss perhaps? Not too informed on the 14 QB recruits yet.
