Also, for the person on the last page who said Herbert throws a beautiful ball, you're absolutely right. He can put some bullets on Wrs and then drop some beautiful lofted ones. I'm just concerned about his size in terms of weight and also it seems that he has one read and then just wants to run.

Grier = Mayfield? Maybe...

I'll say this... knowing I'm just a fan I tend to trust certain pro's in the biz. My favorite scout/analyst is Daniel Jeremiah.
Not saying he's perfect cuz scouting isn't a perfect art really... but he's been spot on more times than most, imo.

He did a write up in the summer about Will Grier that is pretty spot on.
His comp for Grier is Andy Dalton. Lacks the "elite size" but makes plays in and outside of the pocket. Which I guess is a similar Mayfield take...
Draft scout dot com has Grier as the #2 QB in this draft.

And for all those doubting the QB talent in this draft... 
from an SI article quoting Dilfer and Palmer
“I don’t think from a talent perspective those guys too far off, they’ll be right there with last year’s class,” Palmer said. “I don’t see a drop off in talent between some of the guys in last year’s class that went high and some of the guys in this year’s class. ... I think this class is better than people think. And there’s going to be a couple guys who put together great years and rise here at the end.”

“It’s not that [the quarterbacks are] not as good as last year, there’s not going to be as much need, so the quarterbacks aren’t going to be the main conversation piece for the next nine months,” said Dilfer. “So taking all that into consideration, I’d say Stidham and Lock will be in the narrative all year long as first-round picks. The other ones, it will be a taste conversation. Where do they fit? Who needs one?”

This SI article is from the summertime, prior to games being played, so obviously the talk on Stidham has cooled tremendously and Lock has slid quite a bit too.
