So just because he runs a Mike Leach offense the rest of his skillsets go away? Chip Kelly doesn't exactly run a prototypical NFL offense either.
Goff came from a similar offense and went #1 overall with the Rams giving up a crapload to get him.
If Falk can continue to improve, show NFL teams his ability to make NFL level throws, make proper pre-snap reads, not crumble under pressure then he'll go in the first and possibly top 10 just like Goff.
Connor Cook ran a pro style offense and look what that got him. Whether these guys run a spread offense or not it's about skills which translate to the NFL. Accuracy, good footwork & mechanics, pocket awareness & poise go a long way.
I remember when being a Jeff Tedford coached QB was the stamp of death...then came Aaron Rodgers.
Not all of the players are the same. This kid is rigorous about his approach to the position and hasn't had anything handed to him. I'd put money on him improving his draft position rather than being just another guy.
But again, you're wishing upon a star..
why wait for that to happen when we can FIX the problem now..
again, if we like players who are still there in the 2nd round, I'm all for trading our 1st next year in order to get those guys..
Imagine if we're able to land MYLES and NOAH with the 43rd and 45th, when we wont even know til next year what spot we gonna be on anyhow..
just like last year, I wanted us to move up when DE/DT Leonard Williams fell to the JETS...
would you NOW say that we are better off with BUCKNER because we didn't trade our 1st, or Williams woulda been the better player for us??
