EhhStidham is getting a lot of mixed scouting reports from the draft guys and scouting websites. I've seen "best QB in 2019 class" and I've seen "not a NFL QB". That type of discrepancy screams guess and that's a bit disconcerting with quarterbacks.
The knock on Grier seems to be his size (listed at 6'2", I've seen some people say he's barely 6'0", which will be proven one way or another at the Combine) and the fact that he is getting the dreaded "product of the system" label. Dana Holgorsen's QB's haven't been big-time QBs in the NFL.
This is not the year to need a surefire, franchise QB. It reminds me of the 2011 draft with Jake Locker (drafted 8th), Blaine Gabbert (10th), Christian Ponder (12th), Andy Dalton (35th), Colin Kaepernick (36th), and Ryan Mallett (74th). Plenty of draft pundits were claiming a different QB was the top guy, tons of potential, and almost none of them worked out, besides Dalton, who is good but not great.
Hate to be a team drafting a QB high in 2019 and guess wrong.
That is far from the worst class, Locker could've done it for the long haul. Dalton could've. I won't get into Kaep, but he could still be in the league.
Though would I throw Prescott out for any of them? No, probably not, I'd rather add N'Keal Harry
