NFL Draft Advisory Board's feedback on Lock

Drew can make all the throws. He needs to read defenses better, improve going through his progressions, and feint DBs with his line of sight - head direction and then throw back. Mizzou's Zark and Illinois' Jeff George were excellent at the latter.

Drew Lock says the NFL draft advisory board told him to go back to school.

Just for information purposes they have three grades. 1st round 2nd and go back to school

I could believe it honestly. Teams that have screwed up drafting QBs it need the most ready one available, might veer away from Lock who imo, whether he goes this year or next like he should, could do well to sit and learn rather than start immediately.

Backing up Brees. Or Rivers. Etc.

But that’s just me. NFL DBs will eat him alive unless he really works to look them off, develop a pump fake, etc.

That being said, the NFL routinely drafts talent over readiness at QB.

Yep. When it comes to QBs, NFL GMs are like people lined up at Wal-Mart to be the first person to buy the 50 inch tv with shite components for $150 because it’s a 50 inch tv.

Then when it’s in the trash in two years because it was a piece of shite, they’re right back in line to buy another piece of shite.

The gamble is worth it to them.

Lock should stay and hone his craft. Learn to look off DBs, read defensive sets at the LOS, etc. He’s already become proficient with the hard count which is the staple of a good NFL QB.

I’d prefer he go into the league having crafted his skills for another year, but I totally get why he might leave early and let the NFL smooth his rough edges.

He could get lucky and go to a team like the Chargers and be able to learn from Rivers. That might entice him more than being a high pick for a shite team next year.

Either way, it’s been fun to watch grow and mature, and that’s what’s cool about CFB.

Only good things can happen if Lock returns

I agree.

If he shows out, I hate that phrase, vs. Texas he’ll be poised for some media hype going into next year, and if we can do what we think we can next year he’ll be the talk of the draft.

I’d love to see him stay. It would be huge.

However, if he goes, I get it and I won’t be upset. In fact, I kinda expect it, he’s a good QB. Not great like he will be a year from now, but hey, it’s his call.

Mahomes being drafted where as high as he did was a huge surprise for everyone involved. In fact, the draft advisory board told him to stay in school as well if I recall correctly.

I'm not sure where you are getting all of this tape to watch, but I'd assume you are watching highlights. Familiarity bias is a real thing.

He'd go way before the 3rd RD if he came out, but he will come back. Going to announce it after the bowl game.

His grade suffered because of inconsistent hand technique by his skill unit and at least six poor route adjustments to coverage by the primary slot. He made some bad throws, but he drilled a bunch of chain moving throws that should have never touched the grass. I'd like to see him come back but all it takes is one GM making a phone call after the bowl game.

Mahomes left after his JR year

Agree that he does, and he will
