Agreed. I also agree with Phoenix saying his improvements has been significant. He's definitely the type of QB you look to develop and could turn into something
He had a good week. I expect the 49ers to take a QB at some point in the draft, if they don't take one in the 1st or 2nd, I think Prescott would be a good fit as a guy to develop in a Chip Kelly offense. He provides a lot of upside. One of the main things I look at when it comes to QB's entering the draft is their rate of improvement throughout college. Did a guy blow up early and then flatline, has a guy pretty much stayed flat throughout college or has a guy shown consistent improvement, year after year. Prescott is one of those who has shown consistent and substantial improvement year after year.
Physically he's one of the most intriguing QB's this year. He doesn't have the strongest arm but he has a great build for the position from top to bottom, a guy that is built really thick and is a handful to tackle. His toughness running the football has never been questioned but his passing ability has improved tremendously. Last year at this time I thought that the guy would have to change positions to play in the NFL but his ability to throw from the pocket, his accuracy, footwork, ball placement....all have shown serious improvement. I think if a team is committed to giving him a couple years to develop, he continue progressing and improving, eventually being able to start in the NFL.
I also don't think that there is a better system for him than the one that Kelly has. Prescott throws with great touch on his shorter throws, its when he has to go deep that his accuracy gets funky, largely due to some correctable mechanical issues, but as far as being able to get the ball out quickly, throw short passes right on the money and threaten a defense on the ground, he has the potential to be a pretty good player in this offense.
Agree, would pass on Goff/Wentz in the 1st and take Prescott in 3rd/4th. Would rather take Noah Spence in the 1st.
