Injury issues aside, if there's a later round QB sleeper in this draft that Shanahan would be all over, its got to be Mills. Pro style QB, great football IQ and awareness, surprisingly strong arm, great passer on the move, really a nice overall prospect, has had just been cursed with injuries but I think he'll show really well during the Offseason Olympics. Sharp guy that will kill it on the whiteboard and if he can remain healthy, he'll have quite a few teams interested.

agreed.

His 40 time is better than Mahomes and Rodgers. I think most people would say they're mobile. This might be a better choice than using #12 on the 4th or 5th best QB. Use that pick for a top interior linemen or a DB. Maybe a guy that slides back.

As expected, John Lynch is at Stanford's pro day today. QB Davis Mills is the headliner, but Stanford also has:
T Walker Little
CB Paulson Adebo
WR Simi Fehoko
WR/Returner Connor Wedingtonhttps://t.co/rDjKG695uU

Interesting prospect that is for sure.

Great 40! Better than I thought. One of the nicest throwers in the draft, arm strength, natural motion etc... don't care what anyone says. Love this prospect

I'm a Stanford fan so I saw his career a little. He was a highly touted player out of high school but he just had an unfortunate series of injuries that keep pushing him back on the depth chart. He was probably the most talented QB they had since Luck.

Studied more on Stanford QB Davis Mills. He has the tools to be an NFL starter. He doesn't wow you but he has very crisp feet, plays with poise and can make every throw. He isn't a dynamic runner but he moved around inside the pocket to buy space/time. Pro Day 3pm ET NFL Network

Had chance to watch @StanfordFball QB Davis Mills throw during his pre-draft training in Mobile. Powerfully built athlete that can move and rip it. Starting to generate some buzz now around his pro-day and it's justified. Mills is Day 2 guy that teams could hit on as starter.

Davis Mills looks like Matt Ryan without the consistency...

Mills more athletic/mobile, but their 'best' stuff looks similar

Love QBs that SNAP their head around after play fakes - Matty Ice one of the greatest pic.twitter.com/RigIjfWm3j

QB not getting enough talk, per one college coach: Stanford's Davis Mills: "Some of the throws he made—holy s**t. He's big and thick, accurate. Moves well in the pocket. There would be more people raving about him if there was a combine this year."-Bruce Feldman

Kyle's ready to f**k.

Watch him be the best QB out of this draft.

One of the most intriguing things about a guy like Davis Mills is that if you hit, you're going to have a 3-year window(assuming he takes a year to develop) where your QB is making freakin' peanuts. I know everyone wants the next Mahomes or Watson, but I'd take another Kirk Cousins-type QB all day long.

So how soon until we start hearing "no way he gets out of the first round"?

"According to draft pundits, all 224 players are expected to go in the first round."

Funny you mentioned Luck because that's exactly who I mentioned on the 1st page of this thread. Not saying he is him by any means, but I saw glimpses of Luck like abilities
