Trask did look pretty damn good last week.
 

Also, their TE Pitts is ridiculous. He’s a bit of a WR/TE tweener but I feel like Brady could really use him well.

Interested to see how he does against the Gamecocks defense in a few days.

I literally said in another thread Trask could creep his way up if he keeps playing like he did Saturday. Could be this years version of Joe Burrow. Just come out of nowhere and put up stats.

Sam Ehlinger, Texas, 6'3 230

Hot name of the week for leading a furious comeback but for a reason.  His biggest hurdle is controlling his intermediate accuracy but he is a scrappy, leader, playmaker.  He makes up for his average arm strength with a very smart at anticipation.  If he can get his accuracy under control, could be a legitamite starting QB.  

He won't. He hasn't had accuracy for damn near four years like that. He is what he is.

I’m a massive Gator fan. I can’t see Kyle Trask going in the first at this point off of one game.

You never know! Again more just tracking these guys, I'm not rushing to conclusions but they're that next tier to keep an eye on!

He looked damn good dude. If he keeps this up, easier said than done of course, but if he keeps this up, he can be a first rounder. After Lance, there's a lot to be desired QB wise.

Watched the Big 12 for over 7 years now. I don't like him. Think his accuracy is too hit and miss. Always has been.

I can tell you don't like him.  I'll agree to disagree on potential. Cheers.

Yes sir. You too.

Huddlers will bitch about a LB mocked to us, make Hurney jokes then whine 2 mins into Week 1 that our LBs suck ass after we go offense in round 1.

Ha! True true.  I think that will be a good spot for a FA target, possible higher draft pick, would not complain.  Really wanted that Logan Wilson kid out of Wyoming that went to Cinci, he's looked legit but I'm happy we got YGM & Chinn.

They have us at 5 which I think may be our highest possible spot (maybe 3 or 4):

Another notable change, a new QB name in the top-15:

Now I put my name behind this Florida kid the other day.  He may be a flavor of the week but I like everything I read.  Overall, I think there are 3-4 non-Fields/Lance QBs to track this season as their progression/growth could put them in our favor/shine a new light.  I think these guys have legit starting QB potential.  Especially considering who is currently starting around the league.  Don't forget how Burrow and others have seemed to go from typical SEC Joey High School QB to legit NFL talent in a year's time.

Names (They could legit rocket into R1 by year's end):

Kyle Trask, Florida, 6'5 240

I think Dan Mullen is a fine coach that grooms QBs quite well.  This is a different Florida than in years past with Meyer, etc.

What he needs to work on: Mechanics, using his arm strength, leading receivers a bit more.  Has a lot of intangibles and the size+arm strength is there, it's about utilization and efficiency.  Think a tad slower Josh Allen. 

Sam Ehlinger, Texas, 6'3 230

Hot name of the week for leading a furious comeback but for a reason.  His biggest hurdle is controlling his intermediate accuracy but he is a scrappy, leader, playmaker.  He makes up for his average arm strength with a very smart at anticipation.  If he can get his accuracy under control, could be a legitamite starting QB.  

Tanner Morgan 6'2 216

Decent size, a winner, mobility, good zip on his intermediate throws.  His release is lightning quick, and I mean lightning quick.  Efficiency and accuracy has improved but he tends to get a bit gunslinger-ish.  The pedigree, ideal size, and schools the other top-QBs are coming from sets him back and he's had both Bateman and Tyler Johnson as his receivers, but I see something really interesting in Morgan.   Depending on resuming play, I could see a monster year really bringing his stock up.  Could return next year but if he has a good enough season should probably capitalize and opt for the big leagues.

KJ Costello, 6'5 222 Miss State

I threw him on because of his first week.  Being in a Leach offense, his stat lines will definitely be magnifying his hype.  Not sold, but another one to watch.

I think he's more of a 2nd-4th rounder.

Not putting much stock in Jamie Newman or Kellen Mond (especially).  Very meh for me, far behind in development as NFL passers. 

Can you  break down how Newman and Mond is so behind as nfl passers I’ll love to hear it . Being that KJ sucked last year and the year before . Tanner Morgan meh give me Newman all day before him

I mean Mond is self-explanatory.  He straight up looked bad against Vanderbilt of all teams and had some wildly erratic/poor QB performances last year.  He looks really good in sparks.  But there have already been rumblings about a position change at the next level.  It could be a Logan Thomas type that needs to convert to TE/H Back.  Just doesn't read the field from what I see, I just don't see an NFL QB when I watch him.   

Newman definitely has the potential but Wake's offense didn't allow him to really develop extensively as a passer.  Then his transfer drama along with opting out on the year after selecting a pretty questionable agent.  He's a huge mystery that you won't be able to see develop while taking the year off.  Some claim he wasn't impressive off camera and Bennett was primed to beat him out for the spot.
