SI (Rates #4) - Trubisky is such a mixed bag: While the ceiling is unquestionably high, how long will it take his NFL coaching staff to rid him of the wild variations in his footwork? Can it be done?

"High risk/high reward"...Ideal size...Very strong arm...quick delivery...good athletic abiity...quick feet/good COD...Can make all the trhos.Will force some throws...hasn't played under center...Tremendous upside...Raw talent (more a development pick)...Scouts Say: "(Trubisky) has a lot of talent but being a one-year starter is scary. Not many have succeeded with only one-year starting experience.") can start for many teams right away. Not many have his traits." "Has a lot of talent, but being a one year starter is scary..."... - PFW

...Outstanding mobility for his size /doesn't receive enough credit for his ability to move the pocket and buy extra half-seconds. While he lacks elite arm strength, he can easily make all the necessary throws with proper placement and timing, not forcing passes. Doesn't have many glaring weaknesses, but his inexperience reading defenses post-snap will show up at times. He has the physical characteristics and mental alertness to develop into a quality starting quarterback in the NFL. Comp: Andy Dalton...- NFLDS

Accurate passer with the frame, mobility and arm strength to develop into an effective starter. ...Didn't crack the starting lineup until 2016 (inexperienced quarterbacks tend to struggle with their transition to the NFL). 28:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio and 68.9 completion percentage are impressive - ESPN

Hopes were high entering the year, and he has not disappointed. Has been virtually flawless this year with the accuracy and arm strength to thrive in the pros...sneaky athletic for a man his size. Might jump at the chance to compete in a weak quarterback class & come out early. - PFF

Has more of a second-round-caliber skill set (but teams have had second-day grades on many quarterbacks who ended up going in Top 32)... Did receive a first-round estimation from the NFL Draft Advisory Board). ..Very efficient in 2016, with good decision-making and accuracy. Beat up on some weak secondaries, but had three straight 400 yd games without throwing a single interception. - WalterFB -

SI (Ranks #1) - Watson is, and will continue to be, a divisive QB prospect—he’s a unanimous early-round prospect, but is he a No. 1 overall-caliber weapon? He holds a slight edge here because of his dual-threat prowess, as well as what he’s shown in key moments on a big stage.

"Could turnout to be a bigger Russell Wilson type"...Needs time to learn...Exremely athletic with quick feet, speed and body control...accurate/good ball placement/gets ball out of hand quickly...Can throw on the run...very competitive - a winner and a good leader...May lack ideal size (if pre-Combine measurements need revising)...Had a slow start in 2016 and slipped in the ratings...Scouts say: "People keep trying to compare him to RGII, it's not even close. Watson played in a more sophisticated offense..."- PFW

Remarkable athleticism jumps out on film. Has the statistics, dual-threat ability and track record of delivering on the big stage to intrigue but is not the polished passer most associate with early first round picks. Not that polished...accuracy can be sporadic....Comp: Tyrod Taylor - NFLDS

Dynamic playmaker...a pocket passer who with the mobility to stress defenses by extending broken plays. Made strides in 2015 and played his best football down the stretch...Lacks ideal size and will need to adjust to a pro-style system, but has the tools to develop into a good starter (if developed and utilized properly). - ESPN

Inconsistency has plagued his 2016 season, but his big-time throws will ensure infatuation by at least one NFL franchise...Few QBs display the kind of touch and accuracy Watson achieves down the field and in the redzone.His touchdown toss to Mike Williams vs. SC was exemplary. Played his best football down the stretch in 2016, and has an opportunity to repeat that feat this year. - PFF

More mixed bag reviews - Projections range from 1st 3rd round (mainly 3rd/rqrely 1st). The WalterFB writer graded Watson as a third-round pick....This past season, Watson was off with his accuracy, displaying poor ball placement...missed a lot of potential TD's...performance vs. Louisville confirmed this. Didn't dominate/play/not that of a top prospect. Still has room to improve field vision, ball placement, and accuracy. Played better to finish the regular season...a little undersized...played in a college spread... must learn to work under center, manage the huddle & improve footwork...not a running quarterback....Has great intangibles (hard worker, good character and leadership). - WalterFB -

...Physically checks all the boxes with his developed physique, impressive arm talent, natural athleticism and flawless football character. However, he is still young in his development with most of his mistakes due to late decisions and careless throws outside of structure. Highly intelligent on and off the field..."Wired right for NFL" - mature work habits and unselfish attitude...Unreliable internal clock (will hold onto ball too long or appear gunshy at times. Film shows inconsistency in his decision-making and execution...ball security a concern...Impressive amidst the chaos that most college prospects struggle with and it isn't tough to see why several NFL teams will consider him early in the first round. Comp: Carson Palmer - NFLDS

Excellent pocket passer. ...top quarterback prospect in this draft with better physical skill set than either Trubisky or Watson...mixed reviews from various league sources...prototypical QB prospect but never seemed to put everything together and win....can throw beautiful touch passes with superb accuracy and ball placement while under fire..field vision is very good...has the arm strength to make all the throws and beat tight coverage....can consistently drop in accurate touch passes downfield and can make plays with his feet..." - WalterFB -

Streaky...Good size, adequate arm strength...Doesn't always throw tight ball (problems with the wind...Gets sacked too often...skill trajectory leveled off instead of steadily improving...Not very mobie/may process quickly enough...Scout says: "I thought aaya would come on and be special. Instead, he regressed.I really lowered my grade."- PFW

Not as poised as Goff under pressure or consistent with his decision-making, which is why he won't be drafted nearly as high, but their strengths as passers match up similarly. At his best as a passer when he makes quick decisions and delivers on-rhythm...Too much indecision from the pocket when under pressure...Needs to clean up balance and footwork...Comp: Jared Goff. - NFLDS

One highly respected general manager said his team had Kaaya as fifth-round pick....feel he lacks mobility, can't throw well while under pressure and doesn't blow them away with his ("otherwise decent")arm. Other teams project him to go in the late third or early fourth-round. Common thread - concerns about Kaaya lacking leadership...takes a lot of sacks, and his eyes don't stay downfield when under pressure....but when Kaaya is given time, he's deadly. Kaaya has displayed a big arm, pocket presence accuracy in tight windows, can throw perfect touch passes, and has field vision to work through his protections. But struggles without a perfect pocket to throw from, which, in turn, puts too much pressure on his offensive line to be flawless. - WalterFB -

Some buzz about him...has a good arm, pocket presence and field vision. Can make pretty throws downfield and fit the ball into tight windows. But will have some of the same developmental problems as former Cal QB Jared Goff - working under center, operating a huddle, and developing hisfootwork. Suffers from poor decision-making. Must working through his progressions better (i.e. will pre-determine where he is going and stare down reads). Whould start out as a backup, but he has the physical potential to develop into a starter. - WalterFB -

SI (Ranks #9) - It’ll be interesting to see what becomes of Kelly, who has off-field red flags and is working back from a torn ACL. If a team is taking a shot on Day 3, he would have the highest upside.

Cocky..Very good arm strength.makes some outstanding throws...can extend pays with feet..Quick delivery and decision-making...Can dricve ball when he has to...Knee injury...immmaturity and off-field issues ("but not a bad kid")..."A lot to like about him" but injuries and off-field concerns will probably get him underdrafted...Could be taller - PFW

Best highlight reel of any QB in this class...Gunslinger mentality...Past examples of immaturity can't be ignored...Top-shelf arm strength/spins a pretty ball with unforced velocity. Adequate height with a well-built frame. Quick feet...Functional athleticism to extend plays and pick up chunk yards...Impressive anticipation to deliver before receivers are out of their breaks. Experienced throwing the full route tree and making whole field reads. Very confident thrower and not shy about letting it loose. Willing learner /work ethic isn't a concern. But has erratic footwork and weight distribution - relies on arm. Stubborn decision-maker/bad habit of pre-determining his throws, staring down targets and not making the correct post-snap reads. Too willing to force passes into heavy coverage. Hot/cold pocket awareness,...nephew of Jim Kelly - .NFLDS

Torn ACL ended Kelly's 2016 season early, and e won't be able to work out completely prior to the Draft. Team interviews will be critical as he is going to get grilled about his off-the-field antics....In losses to Alabama and Florida State where Ole Miss blew big leads, Kelly had terrible turnovers / bad decisions at crunch time...Kelly's performances during the 2016 season confirm his gun-slinger style of play....has the arm to make any throw, but could be more consistent with field vision, accuracy and decision-making. ..Never displayed the leadership and intangibles to push his team to tough victories. Lacks a killer instinct/gets rattled by pressure; Iboth physical and mental/emotional)...Must also check his ego and clean up his off-the-field issues. - WalterFB -

Didn't start at quarterback until his junior season in HS... free thrower / looks like he is playing backyard football, relying more on timing and feel rather than mechanics or structure.

Despite a sterling prep career, Dobbs was overlooked by some recruiters in large part because of his lanky frame. Inconsistent early in career but came on strong in his final games as a senior...impressive understanding of the offense and where his receivers are, often moving to second and third targets rather than relying on pre-snap reads. Has a calming presence in the huddle & mental toughness. Ball comes out of Dobbs' hand like a rifle shot with a tight spin that makes it easy for pass-catchers to track. ...especially accurate on in-breaking routes (crossers and posts) but also can place the ball low and away from defenders on deep-outs.
