How much do you think he raised his stock the last two games? Should he be considered in the first round now? I would definitely take him over Anthony Richardson.

What is the difference between he and Baker Mayfield out of college? I don't think its arm strength Bennett is more than fine there

5th to 7th round range.

His mobility pushes him up.
Size and age pushes him down.

The scary part is that he is still improving (elite accuracy part continues to get better and better).
Based on potential, he could be a late 4th.

I think he’s a solid 5th rounder. He might go in the 4th but doubt he would go higher.

Taylor Hienicke started over 8 games this past season, Purdy is poised to take a team to the superbowl. Sleeping on stetson is just plain ignorant at this point.

Unfortunately, no NFL team is going to draft a former walk on in the first round. I think his situation will be similar to Kyle Trask. He will be drafted in the middle rounds to sit behind a veteran, but will one day get a chance.

Baker Mayfield was a walk-on and went #1 overall.

Yep, the Heisman balloting should not happen until after the NCG. USC's QB didn't even win their conference championship so they didn't make the playoffs.

I don't see him getting much of a shot in the NFL. CFL maybe. He could sell insurance or whatever in Georgia and have a great life though.

His size is definitely an issue, but still at least worth a mid-round pick imo.

Anthony Richardson has way more potential NFL traits than Bennett. They’re both lotto tickets but Richardson can win you millions while Stetson’s ceiling is a Olive Garden gift card

HUGE difference between college and the pros. Every person on the pro team is elite. Bennett is 1-2 vs semi-elite talent in Tuscaloosa.

I'd love for the Saints to take a chance with him. Bennett is a winner!

I think he really demonstrated a lot of athleticism, so I agree that he did raise his draft stock

He is no longer a game manager, he is a leader and a true dual threat.
