Once again we got destroyed by yet another rookie QB, this season isn't looking promising. In fact it looks like its going to be a liver killing year but if we do survive this season who do you want us to pick in the first round.
This is assuming of course that we are a top 3 pick by 2017.
Let's start:
1. DeShone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame
Height: 6-4. Weight: 230.
Projected 40 Time: 4.70.
Projected Round (2017): 1.
9/22/16: Kizer is the top quarterback prospect for the 2017 NFL Draft. He has a better physical skill set than Deshan Watson, Brad Kaaya or Chad Kelly. Kizer can make beautiful touch passes with superb accuracy and ball placement while being under fire from pass rush. His field vision is very good as he moves his eyes through his progressions even with defenders bearing down on him. Kizer has the arm strength to make all the throws in the NFL with impressive accuracy to beat good coverage. He consistently shows the ability to drop in accurate touch passes downfield and the mobility to make plays with his feet. Kizer is an excellent pocket passer.
In 2016, Kizer has completed 71 percent of his passes for 371 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception. He's also run for two scores. Kizer started this year with a tremendous game against Texas and gave evidence to NFL teams that he could be a future franchise quarterback. Kizer lofted in some beautiful passes between defenders against the Longhorns. Kizer also showed excellent decision-making while maintaing poise under the pass rush of Texas. He protected the football and made extraordinary passes into small openings. Kizer also was impressive in leading a near comeback against Michigan State where he made many similar throws.
In 2015, Kizer completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,884 yards with 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also ran for 520 yards with 10 scores on the ground.
2. Deshaun Watson*, QB, Clemson
Height: 6-2. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2017): 1-2.
9/22/16: Watson had two subdued performances to open the season before playing better against a cupcake team in South Carolina State. So far in 2016, Watson has completed 57 percent of his passes for 692 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions.
7/29/16: Watson played really well to lead Clemson to the National Championship game, and in that title tilt, he threw for over 400 yards and four touchdowns against an Alabama defense that featured tons of future NFL talent. Watson completed 68 percent of his passes in 2015 for 4,104 yards with 35 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. On the ground, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,105 yards with 12 scores.
Watson has a decent arm, excellent athleticism, and can show some superb accuracy. However, he is undersized and doesn't play in a pro-style offense. His numbers are vastly inflated by his college offense. Operating under center will be one thing for him to learn. Watson also has to improve his field vision. He flashes good field vision to work through his progressions on some plays, but he is inconsistent and he can also look to run too soon. Watson won't be able to run as much in the NFL and he needs to get faster at working through his progressions. His pocket-passing process has to get quicker as well.
3. Myles Garrett*, DE, Texas A&M
Height: 6-5. Weight: 262
Projected 40 Time: 4.46
Projected Round (2017): 1.
5/19/16 2016 - Lott Impact Trophy Watch List: Myles Garrett, DE Texas A&M (6-5, 262, Arlington, TX): Consensus All-American as a sophomore last season; All-SEC; among the nation's leaders in tackles for losses with 19.5 and 12.5 sacks; led team with 10 quarterback hurries and had a total of 59 tackles; on Watch List last season
12/09/15 - 2015 All-SEC FIRST TEAM ( COACHES ): DL Myles Garrett, Texas A&M ...Garrett is, arguably, the nation's most disruptive defensive player. Garrett leads the SEC with 11.5 QB sacks, 17.0 tackles for loss (tie) and five forced fumbles, and he ranks in the top five nationally in all three of these statistical categories. He also has 57 tackles, seven WB hurries, a blocked punt and an interception on his 2015 resume.
Now I know we just drafted a pass rushing OLB but Garrett looks to be the real deal type. Like the Kahlil Mack/Von Miller type of player.
This is assuming of course that we are a top 3 pick by 2017.
