I went back and started re watching his tape from last year and this guy is a big time project. System provides him with a lot of easy completions that make his stats and perceived accuracy a lot better than it really is. He simply does not work through reads when he has to. Poor eye discipline downfield, let's safeties track his eyes rather than looking them off. Will have to learn to work protections at the next level, a veteran center may have to make the protection calls for him year 1 and maybe 2.
With that all said he has legit arm talent. He makes some wow throws, but I think that is a little bit of the fools gold. He is going to be a project for sure. If he gets to NO, who were there scouting him this weekend, I think he could have a solid career. If he goes to a place where it's just a "guy" who will be tasked with developing I have little faith he turns out to be a long term starter.
I'm not so sure about this one. I keep hearing the Josh Allen comps. Back then, all you heard was how the teams loved Allen a lot more than the media does.
I did see one comment about Herbert this weekend that opened my eyes a little - some draft guy was saying that Herbert plays in an offense that limits him. I'm not sure what to take away from that, but if its the case, he's going to be a lot better in an NFL system.
