Tua Tagovailoa - Alabama
K.J. Costello - Stanford
Nate Stanley - Iowa
Shea Patterson - Michigan
Jake Fromm - Georgia
Joe Burrow - LSU (?)

Costello is intriguing to me the biggest thing he has to prove this year is can he drive the football. He has excellent touch on deep passes but rarely do you see him put the ball on a rope.

Costello may be there when the Bengals pick.  Not sure Herbert or Tua will be there.  I don't know much about him or if he has franchise QB status.

Joe Burrow looked decent last night.

I was wondering.  Herbert has a good arm but he does not look comfortable standing in pocket.  He throws it on a rope though.  

I'm still seeing those consistency issues that people were talking about with Herbert last year.

Also, let's talk about Jacob Eason.

I worry about Herbert. He just doesn't seem to have the "it" factor. I was very disappointed that he couldn't finish the job against Auburn.

I also worry about Tua. Sure, he lights it up against the average competition, but it seems like he folds a bit against the good teams.

The guy that has me intrigued is Eason. Great arm, great pocket presence. I can't wait to see how he does against the better competition on the Washington schedule.

I'm not sure if Hurts can be a superstar but I think he can be at least a Prescott type QB.

I like him

I'm thinking they want to go Finley. From what I've read, he's smart. Hell have a year in the system and they can work out his issues. If they can't, then I wouldn't be surprised to see them extend Dalton and pick up another 3-5th round guy to give a year in development.

Burrow looked good against Texas. Close to 70% nearly 500 yards and 4 TD.

He's got some nice weapons, but damn, he was accurate.

Yes, along with great pocket presence, and a willingness to stand in there when he knows he's going to get hit.  It'll be interesting to watch him to continue to improve throughout the season.  In spite of all the great things he accomplished last night, he still made a few ill advised throws,  Tried to force it in where he shouldn't have, a time or two.  His arm is great.  Throws on a rope when he needs to, and really nice touch on his deep balls.

Burrow is having a good year thus far against SEC competition.  Let us hope he is there in round 2 and the Bengals grab OT round 1.

He keeps playing the way he is, he may be in conversation for the first round.  

I still don't know about Tua, but good lord that guy is accurate.
