Of the QB's in this draft he seems like the most safe pick. But Stroud/Young/Levis/AR are simply just more talented as QB's.

 

 

Hooker is less talented than AR? Based off of what? Stats? No. Hooker destroys AR in that. Height? No. Weight ... uh I guess? Potential ... that thing no one can gauge? Competition? Both played in the SEC.

IIRC, Hooker was a one-read QB with happy feet and is coming off an ACL injury at 25 years old. 

I trust Reich/Brown/McCown, so if Hooker is the guy we go with, so be it. It's appearing more and more like Stroud/Young go 1-2 and then AR probably top-7 as Levis' stock is plummeting. 

 

It's not Levis whose stock is plummeting.  I do not think AR had as much stock as you think. At this point he's not a top 5 qb in this class. That could change after the combine but I think teams have these guys ranked differently than you guys are ranking them.

Arm strength, core strength, speed, and potential (AR is 4 years younger with only one season as a starter).  Hooker also played in a very QB friendly system at UT with a couple NFL WRs around him. In 2020 Hooker was 98/150 with 1339 yards 9 TDs and 5 INTs at VT in a more pro offense against ACC defenses. He did have 620 more rushing yards and 9 TDs while still being older than current AR.  I'm not saying Hooker is bad, just SOME scouts are going to see AR as the next Josh Allen (potentially) with his size, speed, and arm strength.  His ceiling is through the roof, but there is a definite high bust factor in there as well.

Looks like the Saints are showing some interest in him as well....

Key takeaway from the article:

 

Eventually, every team will have met with virtually every prospect between contact at college all-star games, the annual NFL scouting combine, campus visits, pro day workouts, and private meetings at the team facility. So we shouldn’t make too much of this.

From comments I'm hearing, it does sound like AR would require a bridge QB. Queue the incoming complaints from the people wanting a top QB and no free agent "retread". Some people can't be pleased.

Hooker would fit what Reich looks for in a QB in his system. 

C.J. Stroud, Hooker, Tanner McKee in that order 

PFF's QB rankings  https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-nfl-draft-position-rankings-quarterback

1. BRYCE YOUNG, ALABAMA

BIG BOARD RANK: 1

An offensive coordinator will have to do some things to scheme around Young's height, but it's a small price to pay for everything else he brings to the table.

2. WILL LEVIS, KENTUCKY

BIG BOARD RANK: 4

Levis' tape has so much to like from a tools and NFL-readiness standpoint, but his accuracy — or lack thereof — is borderline untenable at this point.

3. C.J. STROUD, OHIO STATE

BIG BOARD RANK: 5

As a passer, Stroud is nothing like the other two first-round quarterbacks who came out of Ohio State before him. And that bodes well for his NFL prospects.

4. ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA

BIG BOARD RANK: 11

High-end play wins Super Bowls, and no one has a higher end in this class than Richardson. Now, what are the chances he reaches that or even comes close?

5. TANNER MCKEE, STANFORD

BIG BOARD RANK: 29

McKee ticks a lot of boxes, and there's good reason to believe he'll be even better in the NFL than he was in college.

6. HENDON HOOKER, TENNESSEE

BIG BOARD RANK: 94

Hooker's age, injury and offense give him a unique prospect profile that is truly unprecedented. That being said, it's very easy to still buy into his tools and progression.
