4.James Morgan

5.Justin Herbert

Burrow- Joe Burrow’s game is sublime. His mechanics are pristine in the pocket. They are balanced, controlled and clean on the move and off platform. He doesn’t lose throwing velocity on the move. His accuracy is barely affected. He is accurate and is comfortable when asked to throw his WRs open. He’s made a number of back shoulder throws up the seam and down the boundary that are NFL ready. Progressions are not an issue. He’s shown the ability to execute RPO, half field, and full field reads with speed and precision. He sees the entire field when he is on the move.

Tua-Tua is like having a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. It’s a prized possession but it’s staying in the garage until a nice sunny day. You wouldn’t consider taking it off-roading. While Tua is ready to play day 1, it’s likely you’ll want to hold him out until you can trust your OL to protect your asset. He’ll be able to run any offense but you’ll want him to be up to full speed in your offense before you put him on the field. Basically, he’s too good to pass up, but upon taking him you must commit to building him a stellar OL. You must commit to an offense that gets the ball out quickly. You have to limit the number of shots he will take. He won’t save himself

Love-From PFF trying to analyze him with metrics and completely missing the point, to people actually comparing him to Mahomes. It’s been a hoot. There are a lot of bad takes floating around about this prospect. Let’s explain what is going on here. Who is Jordan Love? Well, Jordan Love has the arm and recklessness of Brett Favre and the mechanics of Russell Wilson. He should play the game like Ben Roethlisberger but he’s doing a bad Patrick Mahomes impression. See why people are confused? If you draft Jordan Love, you will need to strangle bad habits out of him. If you invest the time, the payoff will be well worth it.

Morgan-I’m telling you, go watch him. It’s like seeing Joe Flacco at Delaware. Go watch him. He has plus NFL arm talent. Without a doubt. My goodness can he whip a ball around. The ball comes out of his hand hot and in a very tight spiral. His footwork is crisp. He throws beautifully off his back foot. Shows success in the boot game as well. Every throw has heat and he puts it on his WRs. They can’t catch it but he puts it on them. It’s a spiral and they still can’t catch it. Don’t body catch, it’ll bounce off you. Sometimes a few yards off you. Progressions look sharp as well. He’s processing quickly and there are full field read examples on his tape. Most of the playbook puts him in region or half field reads but he gets his eyes around and will look off the safeties. Finds his outlet well and the ball doesn’t waste any time getting there. He could stun the world and go in the 1st round. I have him in the early 2nd. James Morgan has some talent folks.

Herbert-Herbert’s arm talent is severely overrated. His arm is merely average for the NFL and that shows up in the intermediate passing game. Slants and short posts are often contested because the DB is able to break on the ball. It’s very clear when he’s making throws up the boundary. Those throws work in college but the cover two boundary window shrinks considerably at the pro level and this will challenge him. He shows back shoulder capabilities on this throw but I don’t see that being enough to make him dangerous. His mechanics have a number of issues that aren’t going to be easy to fix. He stands in a wide stance and this limits his hip turn. His hips are stiff, and you can clearly see that when he is moving to his left. He does a solid job throwing on the move to his right, but he is limited moving to his left. His adaptable mechanics are below average and he doesn’t have the raw arm talent to save that. When he spreads his chest open to load the ball it isn’t smooth. It was robotic in the past, it’s getting better, but it still looks unnatural. This affects his load point. Where he loads the ball drifts. It isn’t consistent and anything that isn’t consistent affects accuracy. When Herbert brings the ball forward you’ll see his shoulder tuck or a bend at the waist. This causes the ball to nose up or nose down depending on where he hits his release point.
