There wouldn't (or shouldn't) be a surprise if QB is selected in Rd 1. There's a decent group of QBs expected to declare for the 2020 draft, but all have some sort of concern.


Justin Herbert - Ideal measurables who will have 4 years of production but needs to display a better sense of pressure and avoid it.

Tua Tagovailoa - Was in contention for the Heisman and is extremely accurate, but he plays for Alabama (who hasn't produced good NFL QBs) and is shorter than preferred.

Jake Fromm - Has good pocket presence, overall passing ability, and slightly taller than Tua, but he still isn't the preferred 6'3"+ and isn't great at driving the ball downfield. He'd fit into more of a short-to-intermediate passing attack that has a good run game.


KJ Costello - Has the height teams would prefer, a big arm, played in a pro style offense, and will have played 2+ seasons. He probably needs a little more bulk, as he's 6'5" but only 215 lbs. He also isn't the most mobile guy. People view him as more of the prototypical pocket passer.

Jacob Eason - There's a lot of hype around this guy because he has good size and was the starting QB for Georgia before he got hurt and the team chose to then stick with Fromm once Eason was healthy again. Eason hasn't really played since 2016 and he only had a 55% completion percentage, but people seem to love his skill set. His biggest question mark is what will he do now that he's at Washington and fully healthy?
 
I'll be interested to see what type of QB Zac Taylor would go for. We'll be able to better determine that once we see his offensive scheme this season. If it's Mike Brown picking a QB, I'd bet the selection would be one of the taller QBs.
