That's not overboard regarding his arm strength.  He's a projected 5th rounder.

From nfl.com scouting:  http://www.nfl.com/draft/2018/profiles/k...id=2559882

WEAKNESSES Arm strength is a substantial concern. Uses excessive trajectory to get additional distance on deep throws. Pop fly throws allow safeties time to park under the long ball and make plays. Can't make all the NFL throws. Ball doesn't come off hand with much velocity. Will ignore safety movement and throw into double teams at times. Perception of pressure can affect him. Will drop eyes and start looking for an exit strategy. Feet start dancing nervously when his internal clock goes off. May not have the mobility to be effective scrambler on next level.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 5

BOTTOM LINE Lauletta has decent accuracy and mechanics to work with, but his lack of NFL arm strength will limit the number of teams who are willing to consider him. Lauletta's interceptions come due to arm issues rather than decision-making and that may not be correctable in the pros due to the increase in play speed that he will see in NFL secondaries.

The last line is about as bad as it gets.

That's bordering on being undraftable.

Josh Allen truthers sure love bringing him up. Odd take to have about a guy not in my top 5.

Oh yes I've read the reports too. I just don't agree that he will struggle to make it as a backup due to his arm.

Care to add substance or just sniping? Again?

It's as if you've pared out 90% of the truth to focus on only the 10% that suits your ill formed opinion.

Looks like I hit the nail on the head re: Allen.

Lauletta had kind words about him at the Senior Bowl is a very bad hill to die on for a guy.  Lest we forget Matt Jones and other one hit Senior Bowl wonders.
