Trey Lance - best QB of this draft not named Lawrence

[NAS]

Forget about college stats, he can make all the throws and just let Rhule coach him up. That flick of the wrist deep ball is Mahomes -esque.  I just hope he is there at 8.  To be safe, I would trade up to 5 and hope Falcons didn’t fall in love with him too.

All day yes! Lets please not sell the farm to recruit a disgruntled player from Houston!

No one is going to dispute the guy has incredible physical tools. The key questions are: can he develop into a consistent thrower? Can he read complex NFL defenses and process options? He's never had to do either, but he'll have to do both if he's to be successful in the NFL.

That’s where attitude and work ethic comes into play. I believe that physical tools are God given and everything else can be learned with good coaching, hard work and determination

Attitude and work ethic are absolutely crucial, but some people don't have the aptitude to read NFL defenses and all the work in the world won't help. I don't know if that's the case for Lance because I've never interviewed him or know anything about his mental faculties. Thus, it remains a question. If Rhule & Co. think he can do it, I'm all on board. To be sure, his physical tools are ridiculously impressive.

“But when you talk to the folks at North Dakota State, this kid is incredibly intelligent. He can direct fronts, he can do all the stuff at the line of scrimmage you need to do. He's a fantastic athlete and runner [and] he’s got a power arm.”

They did mention that pre snap protection reads were his responsibility and that’s uncommon in college. That was a large part of what improved my opinion of him yesterday. That and watching the passes leap off his fingertips almost as well as Cam

The last clip is very enticing.

 

After watching all of his throws 2x from yesterday he has a great arm no doubt but looks raw on some of his throws.  Needs to develop more touch on the mid range and not fast ball everything.  When he does that it affects his accuracy

...and it's easy to make those throws with no defense in your face while wearing shorts.

Yep, I suspect the next qb pro day will have the same volume of threads starting about said player.  I just hope our staff really digs in and does their due diligence.

I’ve been telling y’all all year that he ran a pro style offense in every way in school. He’s going to be special.

I never put any stock in underwear olympics.  Game tape is the only thing you can truly measure and that can be misleading also.  It takes more than physical ability to be successful in the NFL.  It's what's between the ears and in their heart that gives them a fighting chance.

Well his tape ain’t bad either

Everything looks like a fastball, but I'm sure after not playing all year except for one game he was excited. The arm is there but the film isn't. If you draft him its based on pure potential.
