I think Josh Rosen will rise to the top of the heap for next year's draft.  I don't think he will be a very good quarterback - he has extremely slow footwork and doesn't feel pressure well.  However, he will likely be the best looking quarterback in shorts.  He throws a pretty ball and very accurate when he's allowed to be a statue and knows where he is throwing it.

What about the issue that Jackson is largely a running QB with a rail thin frame? That doesn't concern you? I find that to be a major worry. Small framed, running QB's don't last long in the NFL. They're always injured.

Sure, its concerning. Can't really evaluate someone that they might one day get injured though.

He is very much like Vick in a lot of ways. They both have arms with rocket launchers and with just the flick of a wrist. I actually think Jackson is more slippery than Vick in a small area as well.

I think his low complerion percentage is the result of a couple of things. One, like someone mentioned, he ran a lot instead of dumping balls off. He really is a run first type of guy if a play breaks down. And two, although he throws a great short to intermediate pass, he doesn't throw the best deep ball. And he threw a lot of them.
