You don't see him reacting in any way aside from when he takes off downfield, but that's more about guys not being open. He also trusts his OL a lot and for good reason. You rarely see them allowing any pressure.

I'm talking about him reading the defense and reacting to what they're showing him. His processing is subpar in that regard. But yeah his movement and footwork in the pocket are not natural at all and I think he admitted so in a recent interview.

He's 100% going in the first 20 picks or so this year but boy would I feel uneasy about taking a 4 year starter that raw at some of the most basic components of the game.

Oh, well I disagree there. Lock can see downfield and seems to be processing what's going on just fine. You can see he wants to throw deeper as he'd rather run than throw short, but I don't see him taking too long before he throws. Rather I'd say he's a bit of a master when it comes to perfecting timing with his receivers, and when he does throw he has a rather quick release to boot. Maybe you can show me examples where you think he's being slow at processing info. I really don't see that at all.

Totally agree on his footwork and movement needing a lot of work. He's very devepmental, however, if he were to learn and acquire those skills, there's no telling how good he can be in time. Indeed it would be very risky letting him touch the field as a rookie.
