Nah... Teddy was "the most pro ready QB" he was supposed to be the 1st QB taken. Or at least that is what everyone told me.
He was super hyped by everyone except GMs of NFL teams, it would seem.
I actually remember having an argument with someone about him cuz Teddy was everyones favorite (Tank for Teddy) and I brought up the fact that some dude I'd never heard of named Blake Bortles played in the same conference, put up similar stats, and actually played better VS out of conference opponents (like Bortles beating Kentucky and Teddy struggling with Vandy, or something like that)
People said I was crazy. Then Caldwell actually drafted Blake Bortles....and Teddy was barely a first rounder after Minny traded up into the first to get him.
And people still hyping up Teddy... as a guy who is on his 3rd team and has taken few meaningful snaps in the past couple years...... people still want us to trade for him.

anywho...
Every year all sorts of arm chair GMs and wanna be scouts try to forecast the future of all these college QBs. Every year everyone gets most of it wrong.

Darnold and Allen were the top guys last year most pundits had Darnold going first... some had Allen as the top guy. Baker was my guy.
Baker looks the best, so far.
Every year the QB crop next year looks better... and every year (OK well... maybe not 2014) there's at least two stud QBs to come out of it.
