His ability to take advantage of one on one match ups exposed a lot of teams inability to cover the middle of the field.

Bad pocket presence again is an overstatement relative to college QBs in general. He climbs a little prematurely at time but I wouldn’t call it poor. He played behind a bad o line and felt the effects of foot steps. He has stood in and taken plenty of hits while making accurate throws. This really seems like being overly critical and not really comparing to relatively to where other QBs come out at.

Like I said he will come out with a high 80’s grade similar to a Trubisky or Flacco. He will need a scheme fit, someone who wants to be ultra vertical won’t be a good fit but any west coast offense who have incorporated a lot of spread and air raid concepts would work well. He’d be a good fit in Washington but I doubt he goes that late.

Absolutely.  Remember Blaine Gabbert?  NFL GMs will relish the fact that Haskins could read a defense and go through progressions.  It wasn't simply a one-read, toss or run type system.  That was my biggest reservation with Mayfield, but I give the (douche) kid credit as he has obviously worked his ass off to understand their system.  I though Darnold and Rosen were the most pro-ready, but their teams are so awful it is hard to judge.

The Jets have actually started to look decent on offense, and I think with a new coach and a few more pieces, they could be a dark horse next year.
