When you draft a Qb this last in the draft,

 

Worst case scenario, cut / doesnt make the team.

 

Probable scenario - Solid Backup at the most important position on team.

 

Best Case Scenario - Tom Brady.

Im not "rd 1-3 gushy" over the pick, but I'm not mad at all for the pick, especially if the gm thinks he can play and maybe if theres even the slightest possibility, that theres even a chance, of this guy becoming a "best case scenario."   

 

Drew Bledsoe was the guy in NE, there was no debate about it. Didnt stop the pats from still drafting a qb late rd from Michigan, and all was history from there.

 

I'm not saying this is what there thought process is in this pick, this is just the perspective i take from it, and why i like it to be honest.

 

But from the tape ive seen, and the numbers he's put up (of late especially), I see guy running a pro offense, with impressive efficiency seeing the field, looked off intended targets, checked down to 3rd & 4th options, tight throws in the middle of field/coverage accurate deep balls, good selling play action, nice composure throwing & setting up screens and stepping up in the pocket, just to name a few.

 

Oh and the success he had at QB, was in the SEC. That cant and shouldnt be overlooked.
