5th Round QBs

[Gambit]

SJones stated we will be looking to draft a QB. Now there's a lot of off-season left before draft but we know they won't pay Lance and they shouldn't. Rush made a post basically saying he will be moving on.

Both Adams and Schotty prefer play action orientated efficient structured passing attack functional mobility not elite mobility seems to be preference though all 3 have worked with mobile QBs.

With that in mind who you looking at in 5th?

Brought back your previous thread because you nailed it unless Stephen lies.

Shough will be long gone.
McCord n Howard should be gone by the 4th round. So, I think Gabriel may slide into the 5th because of size.

Gabriel
Rourke
These two is where I draw the line. If they're off the board just pack it up till next year, and that's assuming the 8 or 9 guys ranked ahead of them are already selected.

What about Riley?

I don't like his passing, but he's a top notch runner.

I'd consider some small-school guys that late who might can be developed.

Zach Zebrowski, Central Missouri, won the Harlon Hill Trophy the last two years, completing 69 percent of his passes in 2023 for more than 5,000 yards and 61 TDs, while only throwing 5 interceptions. He passed for nearly 5,000 yards and 40 TDs in 2024, while also rushing for almost 600 yards and 10 TDs.

Probably just a UDFA, but I'd waste a late-rounder on him.

Tommy Mellott, with the system Schottenheimer is going to run. I am once again pumping up Tommy Mellott.

Tommy is a small school prospect who's competition sucked. It's hard to tell how good of a QB he is because his offense at Montana State was so, so gimmicky.

It's hard to tell for me whether he is a really good QB, or if he's just out athleting guys. He makes up for his 6'0 height with great pocket presence, and what I would bet is a 4.42 forty. He outruns really fast defenders. Pulls away from them.

All I do know is that if you watch the plays at 14:21,14:55, and 17:42, you will get what I'm talking about when I say I see a bit of "it factor". Those are NFL caliber plays.



Anyway. Kyle McCord is a better prospect and I'd take him in the 5th in a heartbeat.

I think Gabriel carves out a nice role in the NFL at the least, and could potentially be pretty good.

To me, it depends on his arms strength. Because I think the brain and accuracy are absolutely there.

I think I came away more impressed with the short, fast receiver, No. 14. Mellott showed some legs, but a lot of those passes were behind the receivers and probably would have ended up as interceptions in the NFL.
