- https://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/college/Oklahoma_logo.gif Jalen Hurts*, QB, Oklahoma
Height: 6-1. Weight: 222. Arm: 31.88. Hand: 9.5.
40 Time: 4.59. Projected Round (2020): 3-5.
4/4/20: Hurts put together a good workout at the combine, showing a quality arm, speed and athleticism. He completed 70 percent of his passes in 2019 for 3,851 yards with 32 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Some team sources see Hurts as a late-round pick while others think Hurts is a mid-rounder. ESPN and other media outlets hyped Hurts all season, but in speaking to some sources, they feel Hurts struggles to read defenses, too often after one read he looks to run, is not that accurate, and is not a dynamic runner for the NFL. They feel Hurts is tough and a winner, so they could see a team taking him in the mid-rounds if a team really likes him and wants to work with him as a backup quarterback who might be able to contribute, somewhat like Taysom Hill in New Orleans. Some feel Hurts should move to fullback for the NFL, but Hurts has refused to work out at any position but quarterback. His struggles to see the field were given further proof at the Senior Bowl.
8/15/19: Hurts had a lot of success at Alabama, helping the program to some huge wins during his career with the team, but he really struggled as a pocket passer, which led to him becoming a backup. In 2018 as a backup, Hurts completed 73 percent of his passes for 765 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions. In 2017, he completed 61 percent of his passes for 2,081 yards with 17 touchdowns an interception. As a freshman, Hurts completed 63 percent of his passes for 2,780 yards with 23 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
***************
PASS...especially if the Cowboys are thinking of using a costly mid-round pick on Hurts as a backup. Use that mid-round pick on a position more in need, especially since the Cowboys recently gave current backup QB, Cooper Rush, an extension.
Instead, the Cowboys should use a late round pick on this QB for backup and development:
