He's a big guy with impressive physical attributes but his offense consists of a lot of screens and he struggles under pressure. He also has some accuracy inconsistencies. He does push the ball down the field and seems to understand defenses. I am not sure that he is a guy who would be able to step in day one and have success.

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.

(10-07-2019, 09:46 AM)Au165 Wrote: There is a bit of a stigma there because A. his tape last year wasn't great and B. he got beat out by Haskins and had to transfer. Now admittedly both those things are old data sets, but I would imagine as the year goes on he will get more and more talk. I have only watched the Texas tape because I wanted to watch him an Ehlinger and I honestly came away liking both a lot. Joe isn't going to give you a lot moving around and his arm strength falls in the good enough category, but I very easily could see him being the second QB off the board. 

Side note, I am a big Ehlinger fan because he is a more accurate Josh Allen in my view and with this O line I think we will need that. He could be a mid to late 1st option if he comes out this year. 

(10-07-2019, 09:49 AM)Au165 Wrote: Fromm will be viewed as Andy Dalton. He will be a 10 year starter in the league who will not kill you but won't elevate you. Arm strength is good enough and he is a born leader. There will be teams in the league that love him because you know what he will give you, but we already had that and it's not for us going forward.

My order for QB at this point:

1-Burrow
2-Tua
3-Hurts
4-Eason
5-Herbert
6-Fromm
