2023 QB scouting report

[CarolinaRideorDie]

 

Came across this video and it's a really good quick scouting report on each QB prospect in this years class. I think this dude is spot on with his assessments of each QB, talks about strengths and weaknesses of each. Not a Levis supporter but I can grow to like and support him if he is our pick. If all 3 QBs are gone, the next question is if we would take Richardson in the top 10. His eval of Richardson is a more raw Cam Newton when he came out in 2011. Some on the huddle would rather roll with Corral, but he thinks Richardson is a much higher and better prospect that Corral.

This guy came back around on AR, noting he actually was asked to drop back and go through reads. I'd say AR and Levis were in pretty similar situations regarding the talent they were surrounded by, and AR flashed way more.

If one of these creative OCs become our next coach and draft AR it will get very interesting! If the top 2 QBs are gone I want AR. 

[YourLastThought]

I will take AR. I don't believe we would have to trade up for him either so we keep most all of our draft picks we have this year. I will also take Levi's as I can see potential in him as well as long as we have a good coach in place who has a speciality of developing QB's as far as both of them goes. For me that makes Shane Steichen become very valuable and my number one candidate.

[JawnyBlaze]

If we get a good offensive HC then I’m ok with any of the top four QBs. 

[glenwo2]

As long as we get ONE of the QBs in the draft, I'm good.

I don't mind a raw QB prospect AS LONG as the next HC can develop him. Our next HC and QB needs to be a perfect marriage. Joe Burrow is a franchise QB who saved Zac Taylor's job. Purdy is a poor prospect but playing well because of good coaching. Lawrence was trash before Pederson. I'm starting to move away from the notion that we have to have an elite prospect at the QB position, obviously it helps to be elite, but with right coaching and situation I think success can be found.

Based what exactly? The fact that Florida outrecruits Kentucky virtually every year ('21 12 vs. 35, '20 9 vs. 25, '19 9 vs. 34, '18 14 vs. 37) or the fact that Florida ends up w/ a better conference record virtually every year ('22 both 3-5, '21 2-6 v. 5-3, '20 8-2 vs. 4-6, '19 6-2 vs. 3-5). So for four years UF was clearly better than UK in recruiting and record except for one single year where UK beat them with conference record. Those of you excusing AR's horrific stats due to no talent at the University of Florida are in for a rude awaking. The good news is that AR is truly the man to lead us to the number one overall pick in '24 or '25 depending on when we start him. If we hire Steichen and he uses AR in an RPO run heavy offense, he could succeed here for a few years before he starts to break down like a running back.

I’m not sure Purdy was a poor prospect. He was just overlooked. Some had him going Day 3. 

This YouTuber was raving about him pre-draft.

But yes, coaching is a big factor here.

It is an odd little cult on here, that is for sure.

I like the following six QB's in the 2023 NFL Draft : 1 Bryce Young 2 C.J. Stroud 3 Will Levis 4 Anthony Richardson 5 Tanner McKee 6 Hendon Hooker.

They all have a chance to succeed at the NFL level if they have coaches that will teach them to be better leaders and communicators on and off the field and assist them in unleashing their full talent with the proper drills and techniques.

[Donald LaFell]

I’d much rather draft for potential since it’s a gamble regardless. I’d be fine with AR at 9. It’d be a coup if they traded down too. 

[GOAT]

take Levis or you'll regret it, trust me.

[amcoolio]

I wouldn't take AR at 9, but definitely a trade back to 16-19 range and getting an extra 2nd and 3rd
